This is the new project on the bench.
This is the engine. I added the tubes in between the cylinders and painted them black per some reference photos. I also gave it a panel line wash to bring out the fins in the cylinders
Picture of the cockpit. Used foil and tape to make the belts and small squares of lead wire for the buckles. Somepainting left to do then masking it up.
I have discovered MR Surfacer 500 liquid filler. THis stuff is a game changer. So much easier to work with than the tube stuff for small filling jobs. I still use the tube stuff for the big gaps but the Mr. Surfacer is awesome. Highly recommended.
MORE TO COME
Looking good
Lovely detailing work... looking foward to more!

Looks great, will be following your progress. Thanks for posting
Got the prop primed
Also got the Cowling and engine mounted and started the filling process
Trying to get her ready for the IPMS Gateway show in September. Hopefully i can make it.

dogsbodyYour 'cat is looking great. You mention adding tubes between the cylinders. What tubes and why? Chris
The wiring on the engine was lacking OOB. I added some wiring and some of the pushrod tubes to the engine to add some visual interest
Did some work on the 'Cat last night. Small steps :D
Finished painting the prop, ordanance and wheels. Weathering will be next
Other undercarriage parts painted and started weathering. Used some Citadel Nulin Oil wash on the parts...It might be a bit much. Ill try and tone it down after attachment to the fuselage.
Bottom of the aircraft. Tried the marbeling technique for the first time. I think it came out ok. Good tonal differences and i think it will look better after a good oil wash and some other weathering.
Did some more work on the 'Cat last night....getting close :D
Base Colors laid down...Next will be 2-3 Coats of Gloss Coat (Future) and than decals. Stay tuned!
More work on the F6F. It is starting to look pretty good. Got the clear coating done and the decals.
So...She is pretty much done! Good build, Nice Kit and i think the weathering turned out ok....not too much this time! I am pretty happy with this one. The only thing i have left to do is build a base for her to sit on. Gonna do a WWII Aircraft carrier deck i think. Ill post those when they are done. Thanks for all the atta boys and help with this kit. It was fun.
Okay. I had to look at the scale again...
Nice job!!
I'd put that on a small base, oh yes.

And for the final reveal! This one turned out pretty good. It was a fairly easy build compared to the Italari Spitfire i finished previously. The base is just corrugated Styrene painted with Tamiya Deck tan and then clear coated and hairsprayed than using Vallajo Blue Grey as the final color. I got a little over zealous with the paint chipping but it turned out ok. On the next build!
Clever idea using the corregated styrene as a base, it certainly looks the part. I like what you've done with this nice F-6. Well done mate
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

Thanks. A little too much weathering on the deck but still looks ok .
