Thanks...and yes I will make use of the plate on a base..

Ok just solved the dive line problem...Without using a decal, nor was it masked and painted?

What do you think...?

Pics, couple under the fluoro and the late arvo setting sun, first time it's been out in days...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That's great Wayne, how did you do it....................

 

[rochie]

yeah do tell ???????

 

[Lucky13]

Red tape...? Looks fantastic mate!

 

[Wayne Little]

Well....I started by carefully cutting a very thin strip of plastic card and I just could not get it thin enough to get a 'scale effect' width.....so I went with plan 'B'....Stretched Sprue, painted Red and then attached with PVA White Glue...simply bowed around the inside of the canopy surface!

 

[Lucky13]

WTF! Comes to mind! Mindblowing work Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Jan!

 

[Wayne Little]

and the sprue slipped into place easily as it already had a nice bow to it, to conform to the inside of the canopy, where as the plastic strip wasn't quite as good....

This has become, to me anyway, a 'How To' thread, when it comes to build the 1/32 '88..... When I get around my A-4, I'll be running back and forth to this one, for inspiration, and a a kick in the b*lls to get it done as good as possile.

Thanks mate...just don't rush it when you get going....AND don't go so friggin' overboard like I have...it will drive you nuts!

 

[Lucky13]

You're most welcome! Not to worry mate....I'll try not to! Think that the A-4 conversion is almost as much as the A-1 kit itself!

 

[Crimea_River]

Stretched sprue. Never would have thought of that. Looks very convincing.

If you are referring to the L'Arsenal set...then yes it's damn close!

Thanks Andy, sometimes I spend a bit of time trying to work out the How....sometimes it comes quickly sometimes not!

 

[Lucky13]

That's the one indeed chappy!

 

[Junkers88A1]

i also have the A4 kit..will do that one day..and you can rest assure that i will keep booging you also when you do that so no rest for the weary..hehe

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guttorm..I'm glad you approve!

 

[Lucky13]

Good stuff Gutt! I've already got my '88 pinned down, which one to do! 8)
