Things get tinier every year even though they are the same size in reality.

Good work so far!

Well I'm sure it's more age related, like how you turn down the car stereo so you can see better. I though I was going to suffocate holding my breath while I glued all the teeny tiny parts on. Landing gear was three pieces ! So was the towing rig. A bit more minor body work and it's ready for paint.

I got to painting this past week. I thought I would try something a bit different post shading wise. Being fabric covered I wanted some variation in the paint intensity over the ribs and frame tubes. It turned out OK in some parts but it needs a bit of touching up. I think I need an air brush that will spray a finer line and a steadier hand but being that it's 1:72 scale it may be bit too much to ask for. I'll touch it up in a few spots and then paint the underside in the next day or two. War Dept has me fairly busy yard working !

Beauty. I struggle airbrushing 1:48 though its mostly inpatience

I like the look of that Graham.

 

[Bustedwing]

Thanks, one of these days I've gotta peel open my wallet and spring for a better airbrush, I love the Badger two stage but its curve crashes rapidly the finer I try and go.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nothing wrong with that, good stuff.
