I am moving slowly along on this one the LG's are in place kinda tricky all three!The LG's need to be built while stilling drying to get the proper alignment of three different actuator arms on the main gear and two on the front.The instructions are not the best in drawing or location and to do one side a couple times hence work while drying.I am hoping the decals work well on these curves or I will have to come up with a plan B?I can find lots of D's/F's decals C's hmnn....🤨

Now I have the Trumpter 1/48 F-100C main color is Alclad #126High Shine AL. Rudder is Alclad #101 Basic AL..The tail are was first Alclad Exhaust manifold,Pale burnt metal a darker Burnt metal all applied in a vertical motion if I had a blue vary sparing some of that would of happened.I had to do some touch-ups on the 126 from paint and I started noticing it was just a tad different and I started doing verticals on the fuse.I hope it last overnight and stays just breaks up the scheme to my liking. This build will be quick guys shoot I have maybe 3/4 hours thus far easy kit with a Nice fit

Thanks Alan not much really happened on these planes panel wise but what you see.I saw two A/C on videos with those strange colored aileron's decided to incorporate it into the build used AlClad Steel first then it was every other panel I used SNJ powder with a q-tip re-taped and sprayed steel again.

Thanks Phil sanding/scrapping was a big chore with this one.🤨 I appreciate that Chris They sure did Phil had their teething problems thanks for looking in The others who have looked in giving likes and wows I really appreciate it!

I had one major flaw R/side had frames thought it was a window but not so did the best repair after decals applied.She came out a little better than anticipated.

What exactly is a TAG?🤨
-
I will clear coat tomorrow with Pledge thinned with Mr.Leveling thinner makes it lay smooth and drys much quicker .The engines are what they are I got a no seam in what you look from the outside but inboard side I did not mess with.I found out doing the belly tank just putting putty and paint does not work still looked white in a sense.I painted a hairline color of black on the engine seams to the wing sprayed AlClad 105 and all was good.I think once all said and done it will not be a bad looking build giving it a B grade.🤨 The F-100C is the Trumpter kit got good vibes on this no seams hardly at all.

Maybe Dan but what I am doing to the hood of my Son's Truck you absolutely could can see the overhead rafters ATTM. It's a work in progress Dave I am getting better with each build already have a F-100 on the desk 1/48

I keep plugging along sometime one step forward two back?I am going to give myself a C= or B on this one the problem being I used rattle can for the black (it's a big canvas).The more I add color wise the better it starts to look so the decals shall help also.I looked at many videos these planes were polished. I have a coworker who was around these planes mentioned many models flat AL his head tilted eyes moved"No,they were shinny"

Thanks Alan I did one per night took 1/2 hours each evening now lets see if the rest of the plan works out.The idea is to primer the whole plane then buff and apply the gloss black then go polished aluminum .The next step will be to pick out panels,flaps and rudder.I will then SG the pods on fill the seams and retouch the paint.🤨 apic of panel colors
-
Progress has been slow but steady lots of sanding old molds/technology.I painted the engines primer,black,polished silver,silver119(panels) pale burnt metal,paneled line with rubber,pale metal(very thin) then burnt iron.The body of the plane has only been primed up top ATTM but is silky smooth after using a worn out 800grit scotch brite

I have been assembling a lot of the sub assemblies LG's,Pit and the engines.The LG's though it does not look like it have been repainted into a light grey poor lighting on my part and nighttime on the shots,The copit was laft in the US Naval Dark Grey which really looks like RLM 02 in my eyes.The copit ATTM has been installed with a couple of lead weights just in case.I cut the nose pitot tube from it's attachment inside the nose and installed onto that a hollow tube it worked and is straight no breakie on that part I am thinking yellow/black for that part.I have been thinking since last night these engine pods need to be painted before they are installed to bring out panel effects masking and such is still swirling in the head?Too I am going black base the plane and maybe paint the bottom do panel and then attach the engine pods.Yves this plane is not hard at all to build just lots of sanding and some raised panel lines go away for me on the pods were most happened doing different panels should fix it.Just one pic ....

I think grey it will be I found three pics looking like Silver,White and Grey
-
Yves she is actually quite light in weight being their really is no weight inside the plane just that small copit area but it's been a lot of scrapping old molds you know. Thanks Ken for info but staying with the plastic thick hard plastic.I know it's stretching back into that memory file Ken call out is dark grey for the wheel well area but silver on the LG's themselves?But I know it's Navy but white WW's usually white LG but the AF/AAC zinc chromate and silver gear was it grey or silver ..I have not done any research if I find one pic grey they are grey just to break up the color pattern.🤨
