OK

 

[Wurger]

Harry do you know why canvases of well know ( and not only of them) painters should be watched from some distance?

 

[B-17engineer]

To not see mistakes?

 

[Wurger]

Exactly Harry exactly... you will be an excellent modeller.

OK Have a look at these two pics please.And do what there is said.

Also I would like to pay your attention to the way of holding the model. You keep the fuselage with fingers but at have already painted areas. You have to hold it with area where there is no paint. Also you will have to wipe these surfaces with the thinner in order to remove fat, dust and your finger prints before you will start painting of the top surfaces. So will you be wipping the painted areas again?. Hold it at the cockpit area.


Generally well done.

 

[B-17engineer]

Right!

 

[Wurger]

 

[B-17engineer]

..

 

[Wurger]

OK. Is that the same mixture of paints you used for the undersides?

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea its wet so its a bit darker. Or so it seems in the photo.

 

[Wurger]

OK. Let this get dry.

Harry have you noticed how paint brought out all incorrections made to the model surfaces? I mean seams etc....That's way a correct working on that is very important. A paint has no mercy especially these metalic ones.

 

[B-17engineer]

For the most part its dry. What will we do next?

And yes I see.

 

[Wurger]

What about the cowliing? Still nothing?

 

[B-17engineer]

Nope. I don't get how it could get lost. But I think the replacement is OK .

 

[Wurger]

Show me please the close up of the detail.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok.

The camera doesn't want to focus...

 

[Wurger]

But I can see that. OK.

BTW Irfanview can resize pics not only down but up as well.

Show me the P-40 cockpit conopy please.

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes Sir!

 

[B-17engineer]

They have options for open and closed.

 

[Wurger]

I see. Which one do you want to have?

 

[B-17engineer]

I think Closed canopy
