Thanks Its been a bit since I worked on this big bird . Work was super busy , slowing down a tad . I started on the tail gate .. The tail gate when I glue that down , Will it went south in a bad way . No photo . The super glue stuck instant . I had the photo etch in the wrong direction .. So I peeled it off . The photo etch wrinkled A tad . I did get it glues down . There is rough areas. I'm going make this tail gate looked good and used .. Enjoy Rick
Here is my paint rack I'm building ..I could not find any paint racks. So I thought , lets build one .This is a basic rack . I will primer , then paint with enamel blackYou can see my two Alclad bottles . That be the pale gold and chrome ..Rick" alt="" />
I finished my paint rack yesterday .. I'm going let paint cure for few days before installing this to the wall .. I use oil base enamel paint , Sprayed this outside with HVLP gun .. I used scrap wood , only the peg board was new
Below is my tailgate that I mess up . I glued photo etch upside down .I removed the photo etch , the part wrinkled . I did not have another replacement part . I glued it back down in the correct direction . Now I went and built a skid that will hold cases of sodas and water bottles . This will sit on the gate . Skid not finished yet . Enjoy Rick
I have been working on the soda cases off and on today , Only have a lot more to do Enjoy Rick
I started the first stage paint job on the skid . Then i will get the wood grain look next stage .EnjoyRic k

I mocked up my exhaust too see what it look like .. Not bad .. If you look one way it looks more gold , different way more jet exhaust or more black . Sure has a candy paint look .. I got couple things to do . Then glue this one exhaust into place . Then glue the fuselage together Enjoy Rick
Continued great work! The exhaust pipe work sounds hard, but I like the way they turned out.

Thank you . The exhaust work is not hard time consuming
I'm slowing working on gluing the two fuselage togetherEnjoyRick

Toshi Absolutely stunning! Toshi
Thank you
My build , there is a interior build first .Then the wall , ceiling and floor gets glued to exterior fuselage .Oki think , my glue ( Tamiya Glue ) migrate to two areas . Those areas, the glue settled . Then caused this little but a set back problemThe areas are very soft very soft ..photo belowWhat do I do . I e mail Nigel a freind for advice .His advice , is to let it sit tell the glue cures out . Not to touch or do any repairs .A big thank you again NIgel my friend This is why I wished there was a model group here for low skill people like me . .I'm getting there .
EnjoyRick
