I hope I can finish the model. Unfortunately I have encountered a problem with dimensins of a few parts. Anyway I'm going to put the project to its end.

That sounds ominous.....wait are you going to burn it

Interesting one Wojtek!

... too bad only one airline operated them

Not sure if anyone pointed out that two airlines operated Boeing 314 'Clippers': PanAm and BOAC

I love those giants of the 30s and 40s, it would be great to see one recovered if that could be done.

If I get angry of the model I'll do that.It is sure.

That's shaping up to be one hot build ...... one way or another.

aye, but people mostly remember them in the Pan Am livery. ugh. I'd actually LOVE to see how they'd look like in American, Delta, TWA, and United liveries.

What's Not on the workbench. It never ends coz I just can't make things easy on myself. Had to take down all the deep panel lines on the F2H Airfix kit. And, I just Had to have folding wings on the F4F didn't I??????????!

 

[vikingBerserker]

On the bright side, the Wildcat does look pretty cool with folded wings.

 

[N4521U]

It does Berserker. I want to do a little dio with her partway down the foredeck elevator of the Yorktown. Just a little box thingy.

tried out the new airbrush, today. it works AMAZING. definitely not like the other ones I had. this requires a firm, strong hand to hold the trigger down and back (this is probably common for those of you who have dual action airbrushes and a LOT of patience.

 

[B-17engineer]

Nice Rob. My Aztek has the same thing. Down and back

 

[Trebor]

well, after experimenting a little on how to clean it, I gave the P-40 a second coat of OD green and masked off the top and I'm gonna apply a coat of light gray tomorrow

 

[badbear]

[Wayne Little]

Nice Rob

Today I was working on the another section of the B-24 fuselage. Cardboard parts for paper models are usually too flat.So I tried to give them better looking.

 

[B-17engineer]

Sweet W!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Gees, even a wiz with paper!

awesome work on the B-24, Wojtek!

I've gotten a LOT of work done on the P-40, today. I've resprayed the bottom, then waited for it to dry, then masked the bottom and resprayed the top one last time, then i started with detail work such as the army green color indide the gear fairings and inside the flaps.

I've got a question: is it just me, or does everyone who uses a dual action airbrush get a really rough texture? cos I plan on doing gloss colors, since I'm a civil aircraft fan, and I need a very smooth, glossy surface.
