Which is not there when using the mobile-layout, or at least not as obvious as this) In mobile-mode, it is only available in the menu (upper right corner)

amateur reacted to Danstream in McDonnell Douglas F-15 A/C by Danstream - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1:48
Thank you Alan, I am happy that you like the work done on the LG. As you might have noticed, there were quite a number of steps involved (i.e. a number of different coatings), but, eventually, it is easy to obtain a satisfactorily result. Actually, if the mould is good, most of the job is done by the wash 🙂. Presently, I am repeating all the coatings with the wheels.
I have just finished decaling the fuselage, omitting some of the many stencils.
King regards and thanks for all the 'like's!

The military museum n Soesterberg still has one in the collection. (The emblem in colour) Rather noisy things, those f15s, flying low above the surrounding villages (and never alone. Teacher had to stop talking when they were flying over, and the windows were trembling ... )

Hi,
while going on with decaling, I tackled the modeling of the landing gears. The kit provides a fair, quite accurate representation of the main structural parts. The legs were provided split in half and you have to insert a metallic rod in the vertical element before closing the halves. One end of the metallic rod inside the forward leg protrudes outside and it is supposed to get clamped into the wheel. This is the first time I see such a feature. The first step was to add few lead wires to busy up a bit the parts:
Then, I sprayed a light coat of primer followed by a satin white and I glued on the landing lights. To render the shiny struts of the shock absorbers and the oleo, I used a strip of thin self adhesive aluminium foil. The placards are made with small pieces of decal.
After that, I painted black some portions of the wires and sealed everything with a coat of gloss clear varnish. At this point, details can be picked up by applying a black wash (Tamiya panel liner):
That's all for now,
Thanks for following,
Dan

@amateur, I visited the museum about three years ago, and, yes I could see the thing hanging from the ceiling. I can easily believe that they were noisy planes. What impressed me were the sheer dimensions of the aircraft.
Kind regards,
Dan

Mid-level of detail. Yeah…..
Labelling this as ‘mid-level’ reveals your true ambition level.
But although it is only midlevel detail, it is top-quality as far as I’m concerned.

amateur got a reaction from Mexspur in Thinking things throu, carronade carriages
I know that recoil has somewhere to go. But everything fixed to the gun willgo together with the gun. So the whole upper carriage willgo aft, putting stress on the connecting bolt between lower an dupper carriage, but i fail to see why recoil will put stress on this screw. Perhaps i need some more thinking...
