**** DONE: Revell 1/48 P-40B RAF 112 Squadron in Egypt in 1941 MTO Group Build

[B-17engineer]

Yes, problem is this is laminated. Which makes it 2 times as harder,

I'll go do it again!

 

[Wurger]

Oh .... sorry. I was surre I upladed all pics. Here you are the rest of them .

If it is so hard to remove the paint. maybe you have any thin plastic sheet , for instance from icecream top box.

 

[B-17engineer]

LOL Those pics could've helped a lot!!

I did more, getting close to one side but now dinner is ready, will you be on? Oh and what will we be 'scratch-building' ?

 

[Wurger]

Yes I'll be on. We will be scratchbuilding the wheel bay inner structure which is very charcteristic for P-40 and can be seen in many pics of these.Of course it won't the be the full correction because it should had been done before you put these wing halves together. But undoubtedly it can make the P-40 view better.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wojtek!! My finger burns Good this is f*cking hard

 

[Wurger]

Keep a bowl with cold water close to you.You can cool your fingers in that.

Keep working...it looks good. Could you tell me how you are sanding that?

I am using Orange sandpaper but it is starting to disinegrate, this is my last little strip, then I need to use black......

As for the bold, just realized that

 

[Wurger]

OK. But sand on whole surface but not on these areas with the paint only. The surface has to be flat.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sure thing, more pics soon.

 

[B-17engineer]

The numbers are the hard part! Can I use this top half of the card

 

[Wurger]

Yes you can but it is better to have much material than you need.

 

[B-17engineer]

Wojtek I did a bit more and there is only a bit left of paint........ can I use this because my fingers are all cramped now

 

[Wurger]

I see...get resting for a while. Go to the washroom and wash your hands with coold water and soap. It should help you with that.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sure does help! Much better!

 

[Wurger]

That's good.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok, so what's next

my little brother is already telling my mom what he wants for Christmas.

 

[Wurger]

So show me please how the card is looking now. Have you sanded both sides?

Your brother rushes exactly like you. Christams are in December, a lot of time to that.

 

[B-17engineer]

guilty as charged (rushing)

Well there are other who are worse.

[B-17engineer]

Wojtek, I must go now , although it's 8 o'clock I think I'm gonna go to bed because my head hurts and I'm tired from my crappy day

Thanks so much! I hope I can get work done tomorrow? Friday I will not be here, because my older brother is making his confirmation in the church so, I will be doing that

Have a great night !
