FINISHED - TBM3 Avenger by CDW - Trumpeter - 1:32 scale
Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Lovely work mate - really first class. OC. -
What I will do tomorrow - Add the nav lights at the end of the wing then put a few of the decals on the wing - these are the large roundel and the danger panel marks for the top of the engine rad, and any other decs to go on as I now have micro sol and set. After leaving a day or so I will spray over the wing/decs with my Tamiya flat coat laquer to seal it all in. OC.

Thanks for the explanation ken, bet those refueling buddy-ups were quite an experience, being under the tail of a 135. OC.

Those are looking great Lou - they are even creating a personality - one chatting while the other ignores him. OC.

More progress today while listening to my Aircraft scanner at all the aircraft going over the pond to the US (not) been so quiet. Anyway on with mossie, where were we - oh yes masking ready to paint the Black on the right side fuselage, same procedure wide soft brush and gentle steady brush strokes, then dried with the dryer between coats, I put about four layers down then moved on to the next masked section, then when it was dry I removed the tape, it was leaving a small ridge (cant be helped even with burnishing the edge - till I get some Tamiya tape) so it was a case of a light wet sand - that tended to remove a little too much Black - so back on again. I took about three attempts till I was happy with the finish - then I buffed the whole paintwork to get a shiny surface ready for the decals. Next I decided to do the bottom of the first wing freehand with my wide brush (its about 3/4 Inch) I started with the section closest to the fuselage - it needed no masks as I was controlling the flow of paint - four or five coats and it was looking quite good, next I masked the top part of the engine cowling and started to apply some Black all over the nacelle - again about Four or Five layers, and I left it there for the night. Here's the pics as stands at the mo. OC.

Sound like my effort (message to self - Tamiya Lacquer spray paints do not brush on well - dry to quick and form ridges) 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.
