**** DONE: Revell P-61A 1/48 scale, Nocturnal Nemesis, Night Fighter GB.

[Night Fighter Nut]

After performing the plug trick, I find that the inside dimensions are 3/8" wide or about 8mm and 9/16" deep or about 14mm. How deep inside my supports go will depend on how thick I make them. I'll tell once I have it figured out.

Technical stuff this and some deep thinking going on, your coming up trumps again Bill.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Thanks Vic. Now here are the pictures to go with the narative. Actually, I will let the pictures show what I did and how. I like the way it turned out. Hope you all do to. I'm hoping to start painting this weekend with any luck. Still filling and sanding the gaps. fingers crossed...

Fantastic work Bill! Hope that 'wee' dog is doing well....

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Thanks guys... and our Blue Dane is doing better.

Well I was finally able to spray the bottom part. It seems a little light in color to me so I may shoot again, otherwise it's not too bad. What do you guys think of the color?

 

[Airframes]

Bit hard to tell against the blue background, but the contrast against the black foam looks close. remember it will go darker with progressive clear coats.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

Sorry, didn't exactly make it easy did I ...

 

[T Bolt]

Maybe a tad light Bill if you're shooting for Neutral Gray, and possibly a little blue, but that could easily be the lighting or the white balance setting on the camera. Neutral Gray shouldn't have any brown or blue tone to it.

 

[Crimea_River]

No real opinion on the colour as I'm not up to snuff on this scheme. Goes nice with the table top though!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Can't really comment on the colour as lighting, monitors and such differ which on mine makes it look a very pale blue, but man, what a good paint job.
