Time to play catch-up on group build posts….
doogsatx - Thanks for sharing your technique on doing wing stripes. I shall try it. Beautiful Mustang. What a fine showing for your return to modeling!
maxfax - Regarding your panel line and rivet technique: 1) did you thin the paint with water?, and 2) how did you manage to wipe off the excess w/o removing the paint sitting atop the raised detail? I would think that paint would be the first to go.
Did you crank out ANOTHER beautiful P-51 while I was sleeping? It looks awesome too. Great job on the optional gun display and the weathering. Wow!
vetteman - Congrats on getting a new computer! I hope you enjoy it. Regarding my AT-6, I took a break from the fuselage and worked on all the remaining assemblies (landing gear, engine, propeller, etc.) Soon I'll be back on the fuselage and try out that Bondo stuff you recommended. Speaking of landing gear, I see that the struts have brake lines. What is a typical color for these lines?
Your AT-6 is looking great. Nice job on the seat belts and the IP. (I took the easy route and used the IP decals.) Pastels are something I need to research - they seem to have many applications. Thanks for posting photos. I can't wait to see more of your progress.
jmabx - The True Details interior on your P-59 provides some nice detail. Your painting of it is very crisp too. The interior looks fantastic. Well done!
kermit - Congrats on getting started with foil. I may have to follow in your footsteps some day. The Mig looks like an excellent place to start. Man that foil is SHINY!
aggieman - That B-36 is HUGE. If were my build, I'd have to "fly" it as there's no room on the shelf for something that size. That's a nice modification you did to the outboard jet engines.
jmart - I like your scratch built seat belts. I would like to try your technique myself. The metal hooks look more realistic than the masking tape ones I've made.
owl - Nice job on the invasion stripes. I have yet to build a kit with them but would love to try. It looks like you're about to wrap up this baby - what's next in the queue? Another NMF?
Whew! All caught up on your posts...
