4X5 or 5X7? anyway, since I havent been modeling all that long,two years, I am still finding new techniques and twists to doing things.Now if I can only get the paint surface just right I would be more sastified.

Awesome!

No, the camera was 20 x 24 inches, and the model, a 1/12 scale Tempest.

That must have been gorgeoous

It was - until someone ran a forklift truck over it !

Looks great! I love the colour on the exhaust stubs - something I'm still trying to get right myself.

 

[Paul6187]

I used Tamiya metallic gray, sprayed lightly on the bottom then a coat of red/black mix with a little of the metallic gray on top, I am pleased that it came out so well.

It has been about a week since I have done anything to the P-40B. I finally got off my duff and assembled the wing and fuse halves together, So far every thing has gone well in this endeavor and I hope it will be one of my better builds. I could use one.

In the pics you will see that one set of the guns are not in and that will be fixed later because the cement set and I didn't want to damage then assembly any further. it looks as if Ill have some gaps but not many and as Martha says that's a good thing.
