CDW reacted to lmagna in MRAP ATV by CDW - FINISHED - Rye Field - 1:35 Scale
I have mixed a lot of Ramin with many dishes in my years, starting with C-Rats. But THAT does not look even close to appetizing The C-Rats would taste better without it.😝

CDW reacted to Canute in MRAP ATV by CDW - FINISHED - Rye Field - 1:35 Scale
The Mr Color is solvent based, so will have an odor. Don't tick off the Admiral spraying this stuff. However, it looks really good; I'm going to give it a try.
Rye Field have a number of M1 Abrams kits, too, if you're so inclined.

Really like the weathering on this. Subtle but effective.

Next are sub assemblies that attach to the chassis, and the extensive detailing just goes on and on. Every step is another mini model. Every Rye Field kit I own is detailed like this. An exceptional company doing next generation work to produce extreme detail.
Thank you OC
To go along with the panel line wash, you'll want to acquire a bottle of Mr Color Solvent 110, and some women's makeup applicators, the ones with the little foam tips. After you apply your panel line wash, dampen the foam tip applicator with Solvent 110, and then use it to wipe away excess wash leaving only the wash in the recesses. Works like a charm. But be forewarned, this application only works over a lacquer based acrylic like Mr Color. If you try it over a water based acrylic like Vallejo, it will remove the paint.
It's all in the paint, Denis. Mr Color lacquer based acrylics. The paint is just that good.

A dry fit of the Caterpillar engine/transmission to the chassis. A lot of parts involved in the engine. it surprised me, and all are not yet attached. It will be a very busy engine compartment. More to come...

CDW got a reaction from popeye the sailor in F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" by Egilman - Minicraft/Hasegawa - 1/32nd Scale - PLASTIC
Those are great reference photos for the seats, EG. Just what you need for a project like this.
Ken, what kind of training did you receive for the unfortunate event where you had to use the ejection seat? My brother in law told me some horror stories about pilots who ejected and suffered serious injuries and death. Was the training aircraft specific? I've also wondered how the readiness of the ejection system is checked and verified.

Finally I got some motivation to move on this one ...all the right gizmos I Hope!I started the day by liquid masking all the lights and finishing up the copit.The canopy is the clear supplied with the kit #802 is smoked and it's tacked in with SG.The whole plane got a coat of black lacquer primer by Alclad including the wheel wells.The wheel wells will get painted white and it should make for some nice shading in the recesses.The other thing that finally came in took a while was the Avionics F-86 copit kit.
