Thanks Louis @lgardner for the liking and for the very nice info!
Spiros - congratulations on the new found capability with inserting pictures! Next lesson will be headlines and bold text 🙂 Anyway - back to the build; @fiveten it looks awesome. I really like the green "edge" and the factoryfresh finish. Can't wait to see the roll-out!
@lgardner, as for your comment, the same was true for german planes in Denmark - no props and off to the smelters as soon as possible. Sad in one way as there were lots of incredibly interesting kites (many of them went to allies for testing and some survives today at museums), understandable in another way.
Thanks @airbum! ...headlines? ...bold text? ...mainstream 1/48 Vautour? Yes! Miracles can happen! All the best, my friend!
Mr Mark Softer did his magic and the decals snuggled into everything. Gave my Tsurugi a black wash to bring out the skin details.
Hi everyone!
Glued the PE instument panel and applied the decal on top, followed by an application of Mr Mark Softer that made it snuggle to the PE panel nicely.
Glued the wheels to the LG legs. Nedded very delicate alignment, as the gluing area is minimal.
Didn't like the styrene pitot, so I made one of a needle.
Glued the exhausts around the cowling.
Decalled the propeller and almost finished the transparencies (some touchups are required).
Bombs almost finished.
All the best!
You have been very busy, and it all looks fantastic. Great work Spiros.
Thanks Louis @lgardner!
Fitted the propeller to the engine. Had to fabricate a fatter axle, as the original had excess play Fitted the engine and did very very subtle engine staining and equally subtle tyre and tyre area weathering.
It's almost complete now... and looking better than ever. It shouldn't be too much longer and this one will be in the headline section. Fantastic work here...
Thanks my friend @lgardner for watching, liking and inspiration!
Man oh man ! You say that you're almost done. It looks finished to me... Fantastic results too. I wouldn't be too concerned with the windshield. It's not noticeable in the pictures.
Hi everyone! Spot (!) futured the windscreen and the crazing was diminished, making me very happy. A few touchups here and there and...
