[parsifal]

the skill is obvious. but from a personal taste perspective I just think the weathering is a bit much.........

 

[N4521U]

Amen.

 

[Crimea_River]

Agree with Michael. Windscreen fit could be better too.

 

[Wayne Little]

Have to agree, real nice, but....went too far on the finish i think.

 

[Donivanp]

Gonna be real nice having a build off between you and Geo!

 

[N4521U]

Changed my category to Advanced.
I spent a couple of days on the interior, doing my thing.
Am still going to add some wiring and other stuff.
I keep plunkin along.......

Solid work Bill

 

[Crimea_River]

You used to soldier along. Now you're plunkin'. I guess that's what advanced types do.

 

[N4521U]

BTW, the wheel on the port side of the cockpit floor is a section of a spare bomba
with a punched piece of card glued in, then cut out to form the three spoked center section.

Lovely work so far!

 

[N4521U]

Cockpit primed and ready for basic Blue Nuit.
I'll be using a mix of Tamiya X3 blue enamel. I can airbrush this color.
A bit of weathering wash as I used on the P-47.
Then the instrument panel and stick. Maybe some wires.

[N4521U]

Plunkin, lazing. like sitting around Plunkin an old guitar, I don't play a guitar, I just laze around.

 

[N4521U]

GD airbrushing enamels........GD messy all right!
And that decal on the instrument panel........GD ain't easy!!!!!
GD glad that's over!!!!!! Some wash and I can put this part aside!!!!
