FINISHED - TBM3 Avenger by CDW - Trumpeter - 1:32 scale
Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I know as much knowledge about Airbrushes as I do Knitting - never ever picked one up or used one, it took me fifty odd years to even use a Rattle can, everything else till now has been painted using brushes including 1/144 scale airliner kits like B747s. OC. -

I have been looking at Airbrush starter kits but how convenient are they to use in a living room - noise etc? OC. -
Good day all, more work on mossie, - I assembled the other wing starting by fitting the flaps together, at the same time I painted and placed the wing radiator in place, then after cleaning the seams up - the wing was joined together with the flaps trapped inside. I also cleaned up and painted both engine nacelles. OC.

Not your fault bro, no need to stand in the corner - take a seat on the hammock instead, OC.

Very similar 707/DC8 esp if they were the short body DC8 later on they lengthen'd them to near 180feet, the 707 was still a heavy-er plane though compared to the shorter DC8. OC.
-
The 707 never was renowned for its power to weight ratio - quite a heavy beast for its size and engines the JT's were not all that powerful think they needed at least 5000ft hot and heavy min runway for take off. OC.

Its not the quality that matters lou - its the content and memories. OC.

Thanks lou. OC.

Did that have an outside framework for the guns on them or just hand held inside the cab? OC.

Same as what Lou said............... OC. -
So you have traveled in a Boeing 707? I have too when I was a teenager. OC.

Right then - a bit more progress, I put the primer on both sides of the one wing, then when dry - aided with the venerable hairdryer, I then moved on to the fuselage and gave it a couple of coats of Grey, I also did the same to the top of the wing. After a couple of hours I masked up both the fuselage and wing - using a combination of Blue Tack for the edges, and paper and tape for the bulk of the masking - ready for paint tomorrow (if the weather is kind) also need to work on another system so the smell from the paint does not come into the house - possibly putting the painted parts in a closed plastic box till dry - so some of the smell can go off a bit first before bringing them into the house.

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.
