Thank you for a walk around the desk and leave your comments. It is pure motivation.

Continue and improve riveting panels !!! is hard work ... and need to finish the fuselage, start pontoons and rear spoilers ...

To distract myself from this marathon " remacheadero" (plenty of rivets) we go to a new mission (for me !!) ... we apply a technique to improve the detail view of the lights in the tail and wingtips ... sure its have a correct name



With a fine file we are wasting the square vertex indicating mark on each wing nd the tail...











Here comes the exciting !! 8)... took a few branch lines of clear parts and silt as much as possible before mounting on each vertex ...



With a mini drill I frame a "cap" with tamiya tape the distance thatwill pretend the internal focus on each vertex ...




Return to continue .... are calling me to breakfast ...
 
We are back ...



Previously, frame with a punch point where the drill bit shall enter ...



We can see the "simulated focus" within the transparent part ...



At the tail goes "blank" because the light is white



To paint the wings inside the hole with the color that corresponds (clear blue for the right wing and clear red on the left) ... and we stuck with superglue instead.









Carefully I start iron out the pieces ... I use 2 mini limes different roughness to get as close as possible to the distance where I cut off the excess transparent, then iron out a bit more and finish with sandpaper to polishing and finishing. ...

Photo speaking !!


















Ufff !! ... going to leave this so far (for now)

Soon I will upload more progress ... are highly encouraging your visits to the desk, I hope you are enjoying like me.

I hope not to be weighed so much text and images, but I think it There may be someone rookie who can be helpful or someone to give some idea, or better yet, someone who tell us and learn others alternatives.

Leave me your comments, recommendations, tips and reviews ... this is getting better and the jobs in your desks and contributions in this which helps us to continue to grow what we like.

I hope be clear...

Hasta nuevo aviso!!
Saludos

P.S. There were many " I hope..."

Got to hand it to you Luis, those lights are a neat bit of modelling and very effective. All you need now is a bit of fibre optic work………………………….!
 
Like your method for the marker lights. Beats my colored-toothbrush-handle approach. I really should get with the program.

Friend Slam, as I mentioned, is a great opportunity to learn several techniques for the same topic, one's practice and prefers the one that best fits, facilitates or offers better results. I have not practiced your technique yet, but be sure that an aircraft will requires that finishing. I humbly appreciate your mension. Thanks
 
Dear friends and colleagues, Gnomey, Wayne, Siddley, N4521U and Geo (and so many others who have visited the workbench ... and others who still are missing)

It´s in this project, I have sought to apply the last thing I have seen (so far) and has been within my reach being able to practice, really think my Nakajima, will mark a turning point to achieve more seriously arming and reach that level that many of you already dominate.

I am sure with constructive criticism, suggestions, tips, and extensive knowledge, will enjoy even more of my hobby and share it with affection.

Thank you very much for your support and visits.
Soon I continue uploading photos.

Always grateful for your review Lucky13


I quite understand your comment friend N4521U.
Commenting a little about the language and interpretations in Spanish usually differentiate word of criticism in both directions that can be said:

The criticism or destructive criticism as such only offends or denigrates the person committing any error or defect.

And CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM against any error, omission or default, makes you see where you failed and you suggest one or more ways to solve it with the intention to help.

The word observations may also have a similar meaning in Spanish.

Thank you for your attention and interest my friend.
 
Wow, bloody wow, 'forgive my French' as we say over here sometimes (or 'forgive my bad language') that is an indepth yet beautiful method to make the signal/nav lights.
Really liking your choice to take on the Rufe, an aircraft that is not often known because it is hidden by its father's/brother's (the Zerosen A6M) success.
