Love it, my friend @clipper! The handwriting looks excellent! -
Hi, Carl (@clipper): I always have trouble getting pens to work on models. I guess it is something about the hard plastic and paint, but they never flow very well or for very long. At this point in my life, […] -
That handwritten marking looks perfect to me, Carl @clipper Clearly a challenge which you controlled perfectly in the end. -
Carl @clipper, she looks absolutely beautiful. Love the look! -
It was somewhat difficult George (@gblair) adding the text. The white marker initially didn't want to dispense any white paint (Ink?). I tapped it on a piece of paper and tried to get it flowing, which it did, […] -
Hi Carl (@clipper): It is really tough sometimes to create the personalized markings on planes. I try to avoid models that will require me to create those sorts of things. Using a white pen gave you great results.

Thanks John (@johnb), George (@gblair), and Spiros (@fiveten). Wheel installation is a challenge on most kits given the various angles and flat areas that have to be accommodated. I've been somewhat […]

Excellent progress and great "copper" rendition, my friend @grimreaper!
-
Vallejo model air rust seems like a good alternative, Reinhard @grimreaper Looks good.
-
Nice job

some more paint and decal progress the factory emblems in the front area are provided as a PE parts but decided o use the decals ran out of copper paint, used Vallejo Model Air Rust because it looks metallic and […] -
Looks excellent so far, my friend @clipper. Attaching and aligning the wheels has always been a mystical experience for me 🙂
-
So, Carl (clipper), you use a hybrid "wing and a prayer" with an engineering approach. It looks like it works pretty good. I glued my Wellesley wheels before I started watching the football game. I will go up […]
-
I neglected to mention that after I mix the epoxy (which is 30 minute epoxy), I usually wait at least ten minutes before applying it so that it is a little more set. And then, like you mentioned George (@gblair), […]
-
I would expect a measured, sure approach to attaching your wheels, Carl (@clipper). My interaction with the wheels and gear is more of "wing and prayer" affair where I use white glue to hold the wheels on while […]
-
That's a great approach to keep the wheels in a perfect angle, Carl @clipper
-
Thanks Felix (@fxrob). I still have more weathering to do, but wanted to get her up on the wheels first. Mostly a bit of chipping, smoke stains, and a few oil streaks.
-
She looks great with that worn look, Carl @clipper!
-
Thanks for following along Spiros(@fiveten), George (@gblair), and John (@johnb). Got the plane on it's feet now. Just waiting for the epoxy (30 minute) to cure. The steel plates are there to hold the wheels […]
