I did the red one, converting a -5 to a -5K

I believe you sent me some info I need. I have to do a search for it again.

 

[Viking1066]

Being smaller also means I will have to determine how much time I spend on the innards.

 

[A4K]

Forget the innards Jesse. I superdetailed 3 1:72 Hellcat interiors years ago. When you close up the fuselage halves you can't see Jack of it!

Will do.

 

[A4K]

I should explain a little... the cockpit opening is so narrow, all you really see past the seat looking down is a bit of the floor, the IP, and the lower part of the rudder pedals. Stick the canopy on, and you see even less. Due to the angle of the fuselage sides, all you're really seeing of the cockpit walls is the top of the stringers and port control console, for which Hasegawa supply a decal (which is sufficient for what you'll see through the canopy).
If I made one again, I would just add some mininal detail to the floor forward of the seat, add seatbelts, and maybe improve the gun sight.

So now I want to do this. Shouldn't be a time consuming process. Caught a break with current class as three assignments given in a different class can be applied to the current class. Less work to do down the road.

Those had red dots on them Jessie, LOTS of red dots, well not like your doing them but!!!!

 

[Viking1066]

Frustrating not having all the paints on hand.

Now have to sit and wait for the door stop to become full again.

Ahhhh, white paint. I did a 1:48 Catalina and a yellow JM-1. Hated doing both

The Pink one was a real nightmare. The other one is Volcanic Yellow. I had to order that one.

 

[A4K]

'Volcanic yellow'
That was quick progress Jesse, well done.

Thanks! Now I have to wait on those paints.

 

[A4K]

I'm sure you've got a couple of Japanese types to keep you busy in between Jesse...

Let the magic begin, oh magical doorstop fulfill that magic that you do so well

As a matter of fact I do.

 

[A4K]

Just a couple, eh?

 

[SaparotRob]

As a matter of fact I do.

Who would've guessed?

 

[Donivanp]

Who would've guessed?

I never, ever in a billion years would have thunk that Jessie would have any dots in his collection to be able to just pull out a couple and got to town! I mean that would be like me having a couple of F-4 Phantoms in my collection. I don't have a couple, I mean unless 45 is a couple! Really, you guys!!!!!!

 

[Viking1066]

Just a couple, eh?

Around four, all biplanes.

 

[Viking1066]

Did the interiors and tomorrow I will put them together.

 

[Viking1066]

These were the selections. Three army aircraft and one navy aircraft.

Took some time with the interiors that are minuscule.
