Another one hits the cabinet not as good as the Hustler but pretty decent.I was able to cut away the most offending out register decal on the L/tail area while on the plane straight edge/razor/water.One can still see some register problems on the yellow arches but at this point it is what it is.The blue of the engine area I played with clear blue kinda worked just those areas usually had silver w/blue on top ...next plane.
-
Mike I go MrColor 1500 primer grey as a base coat when dry buff with a worn out 800 grit scotch brite smooth it out.I then spray Tamiya acrylic either gloss or semi-black and then hit with the AlClad back again to a lacquer.This plane being so big I used gloss black from a rattle can something I just had on hand.
-
So lets start with that the decals suck 1/2 of the yellows are out of register and the same with the stars and bars.The red stripes on the engine area were just to then all the decals are so off to painting.I am having to handle this A/C way to much broke off one of the fuel pods no biggie just the point.I am at the point I want to just finish and move on.🤨
-
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.

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.
-
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"

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.
