That looks pretty nice there Wojtek now are you going to make those recessed panel lines?? keep the pics coming
 
Well, I've had a hectic month or so in 1:1 scale, including a change to night shift, which I am almost over So I'm back to work on the models, here's my Hobbyboss P-51D now sporting Costa Rican markings and requiring only gear, prop and canopy to finish the job:







Once this is out of the way I will get back to work on the P-47D 8)
 
Before you buy the concorde trebor you should know that it will take a lot of patients because of the filling and sanding involved but i agree it is a damn sexy aircraft more pics to follow soon.BB
 
I agree with Wayne. A nice P-51 in different markings than usually.


Below...a few pics of making superchargers for engines of B-24. The last shot...the set of these waiting for a correct painting.

These card models are nice if you don't have to paint any of parts.But if you need to do it all drawn details disappear. Here is a floor of one of B-24 turrets ... I think that the one with my correction looks better.

THX Terry.

Do you believe? The author of the card set , has forgotten about the floor in the front turret ( part 1h6). I have used the spare part for the tail turret and made a new one with corrections.

Nice work my friend. Was there actually a floor in the front turret? I have some pics showing a 'conical' shape of front turret 'basket', which appears to possibly be open at the bottom, and I think the gunner's feet were supported by 'stirrups'. Not sure about this 100% though, but if you need any pics of this, or the rest of the interior, let me know.
 

Nice! Do you know where you got the decals for it? I really want to make that p-51 as well as the P-47N that shot it down.

Thanks
 
Thank you Pal...

Here a couple of pics with front parts of engine cowlings. These were very characteristic for B-24s. The first step was to remove the cardboard from areas where there were holes ( pic2). Then I put all pieces together (pic3).The finished part doesn't look good , am I right? These white areas at the bottom of the assembled part are caused by corrections I have had to make to the length of each strip. That's why the next step was to soak the part with Superglue , then sanding and painting of the whole part (pic4). In the last shot you can compare effects. Looking much better isn't it?
