Ahoy
The Mighty Superfortress build is coming close to being finished Should have her done this evening tomorrow perhaps some finished pictures. Ok while everything is drying nicely its time for the rest of the assembly and the decals. Spending some time on touch ups here and there useing cheese cloth I buffed out the intire ship uintil smooth as a Babys rump.. One thing i hate about natural aluminum finishes is the conciderable dust accumilation your consantly blowing off dust as long as it blows off no damage done..Next I am moving to the 8 exaust fairings I painted them first useing red oxide letting dry and giving them a wash in black.. lastly I will paint the rudder yellow and the prop cuffs the same and she is good to go.
going through the build there is conciderable amount of flash I can see scince 1977 its first release and still going strong as of now the molds have taken their toll. Perhaps the molds can be retooled in the future I would love to see this done. A great kit fellas if you lik them Big. Here is the update build report.
