1/48 Italeri Hawk T.1A (On Hold)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Evening all, more progress - alot of time spent this eve for very little done, firstly I painted over the face of both panels and "Yep" the inevitable happned - the grey seaped into the Black dials, so after the coats of Grey was on the fronts I then used my finest brush and dropped some pin prick size drops of Black into the holes for the dials, it wasn't 100% a success but good enough as the canopy is going to be down, I set these aside to dry and turned my attenton to the Tub - this had its back panel fixed then some Grey layers, then a small amount of shading, after I glued inplace the panels, and finished off with a bit more shading and some highlighting. Not brilliant but will be mostly hidden so I'm not too worried. OC. -
It looks perfect to me just as it is - please dont spoil it You know the saying. OC.

Evening all, so it begins - starting with the cockpit/instrument panels, with the kit are some pe panels and not bad looking either, I did however order the pe update set from Airwaves, but to be fair I had not looked at it for a good while - well years to be honest, and I found they were some considerable size Way too big to fit, I had to look at the packaging to make sure they hadn't sent out the 1/32 scale ones, nope 1/48 but for a different kit not the Italeri - but I was able to do a bit of "Cut and fit" using a mixture of both. The front panel I will sand slightly around the edges. I started with the panels as I said these fit perfect, thay have the cut outs for the dials - so I thought paint black behind all over and stick the pe panels down to this, so I decided to use the Vallejo Primer (Black) and instead of trying to glue them down after - I stuck them down onto wet paint then forced dried them - "Yep they stuck" but I will dab some gloss clear coat into the dials after painting the face of the panel, this should help secure them, I then started fixing down the side panels - I have no ca glue at the moment but "No worries" as I used my revell pro plastic glue, I have found if I get it warm it melts the pe down onto the plastic and it does stay there ok. So its a start. OC. -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
