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

[Wurger]

Looking good but there is still too much putty.I understand you but the putty has to be in the gap only.
It can seem that it is smooth but when you apply a paint it will be seen very well.

 

[B-17engineer]

Hmmm I'll go back and try again.

 

[B-17engineer]

Some was layered where I tried applying putty again, so my knife took some off and then I sanded the rest down, it my sanding doesn't seem to be going everywhere

 

[B-17engineer]

Since it is my little brothers birthday, he is turning 10, he wants me to watch a tv show with him, so I can't ignore him

Since my tests are tomorrow I should have a lot of time if your on to do my model, and then it's my Birthday thursday

 

[Wurger]

OK. I see. But you have to continue the sanding like you did to the nose of the P-40.

Anyway these look good.

 

[B-17engineer]

Gettin close!

 

[Wurger]

Yep..keep sanding.

 

[B-17engineer]

Will go do that

 

[B-17engineer]

Have Mercy

 

[Wurger]

No mercy, you have been rushing so you have to agonize.

Ok. In the last pic I can see that there is still a gap at the front area of the transition. Put there some the Squadron putty. Also put some on the air intake and the fuselage seam in front of the cockpit.You have to shape the areas, especially the air intake.You will finish the sanding later when the putty will be hardened. What about the upper fuselage MGS covers? They look horrible with these gaps in front of them

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok, where exactly on the intake? The sides?

 

[Wurger]

No Harrison on upper area. In pics I have noticed that there is a difference between the front part of the air intake and its rear part.Unless I'm wrong.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok, let me go on with the putty !

 

[B-17engineer]

Trying, trying.

 

[Wurger]

OK....

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok so I'm not installing the pieces where the antenna goes?

 

[Wurger]

Antenna mast was installed behind the cockpit on top of the fusleage.Don't worry about these small holes for gunsight in front of the cockpit etc.You will drill them again.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok, so I will go do that. Then I must go to dinner!

 

[Wurger]

OK Harrison. Apply the putty there and put the model away for two days.We will back to this wen I get back from work on Friday. In meantime you can paint these inner surfarces of flaps and the main landing gear coveriings with the same paint like the cockpit ( if you have already removed these stamp traces from them, the pics with places where these stamp traces are you can find a few pages back)

But now Good Nioght. Sleep well. And A happy Birthday of course.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok very well! Will apply putty and paint! Talk to you Friday!
