obiwan they are all revell kits. was very suprised with the detail in both the f-15 and the p-47. the cockpit detail is the best ive seen yet. the 109 is pretty good but i went and got a photo etch for the pit. turned out great. when i get the canopy cleaned up a bit i will get a shot of it.
kik the press and seal was horrible. the bleeding conformed to the points that the wrap adhered to the canopy. the toothpicks are not glued to the a/c, it rests on them. it is an attempt to find something that works better than the coat hanger method. it seems to work ok, have to be careful not to spray too heavy or sanding will be in my future where it rests on the toothpicks.
thanks ashley there is hope yet then. i want to highlight it a little with a pastel yellow just to get the yellow tint i see on some of the birds of pearl. but otherwise i decided last night to leave it as is and go forward.
zokissima thankyou for the biggest compliment of all. my father and i did not get along until just before his death. i determined and promised myself i would not let this happen with my children. my boys are excellent students when it comes to this hobby. they make a father proud. my daughters are waiting for me to get the items they want before they begin their hobby adventure. my oldest wants to do figurines, at 14 i think she will do a great job. my youngest, 5 yrs old, just wants to do something to be involved.
again thankyou all for the positive comments. the revell builds have been challenging at times but the end result looks like it will be good.
