I have the camo on the plane was not totally satisfied with what Tamiya called out for l.Sand but that is what I did the 109 in in the background.I think once I get to the point of weathering it will go darker some and blend in well enough
-
Well I have started the painting process on this one.I started with Mr Surfacer 1500 grey,Tamiya Semi Black,silver (chip) and I guess yellow ID bands.The plane looks like it's going to get colors from 3 different manufactures go figure🤨
-
You can probably bet on that one Chris🤨
-
The same process when I clean the brass for reloading with a liquid additive to enhance the process for more polished effect.Thanks for popping in and the likes guys the wings,tailplanes and landing gear (up) are now finished and fixed in place.The canopy is about to be masked and put in play and it's off to primer.I am bring this if I finish to the meet in Covington LA in June.
-
I really like the results of this kit and your efforts Chris looks Sharp! As to the fins I go opposite paint the cylinders silver and a thin black wash in the crevices for the highlight and dirty from there.
-
Looking good there Sir!as to the pre-shading on a solid color like this the option of paint then if good and straight lines do the shading and repaint in light coats to desired effect works nice on RLM 76/78

Alan you showed me something new today ...Comet never heard of it?The build came out really Nice with the turret having vague references to a Panzer like the design of this one.
-
It's a beauty Craig and good luck at the show mine comes the 21st hope to finish.🤨

She is slowly coming together fellas between work,vehicles and the build getting the least attention.I really am now getting what you guys have been saying about these Tamiya kits in their fit/engineering very Nice in 1/32 scale.The wings and tailplanes are not glued just fitted nice fit.I am really hoping to have this completed for a show over in Covington,LA next month if Not the Tempest will be my only entry for 1/32

It's been a slow process been working a bit summer and work on the house and such.The copit is glued up now and I am working the pilot and the required harness to make it look a little more convincing.The pilot is a necessary component seeing she will be inflight.
-
It did and thanks for looking in and the compliment.

Installed a small micro motor into the crankcase/gearbox the motor measures .160"D X .510"L can handle up to 4.7v will go from 3.0V now to 4.5V with a potentiometer installed for calibration.I have several of these kits whether the Mustang or the Spitfire will be good for dio's also.

I have been chomping at the bit to get started on this one.The engine was my starting area for reason of personal taste like get my problem area out of the way and operational.The plane will be displayed in-flight as it stands at the moment subject to change.I will be adding Quintas to the office to spruce things up a bit and I am leaning towards the boxart but some mask for the main insignia.

Thanks Chris the Florys really made the colors to kind of meld together.

This one hits the cabinet fellas and time to move on to completion of the George.The L/LG was wonky I guess from moving around kept looking looking at some of the pics 🤨.The wing lights were so small I gave up and out came crystal clear to the rescue.

I know what you mean do it on the 1/350 ships often.

Thanks Andy and agreed an interesting subject matter on the sister site thoughts of a buddy build are brewing many have kits in the stash but failed to execute.
-

The Mossy Shipyard by Bryan Woods - 1:1
Javlin replied to Bryan Woods's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I would use a Marine Urethane nothing short or if you find something stronger. I used a standard urethane varnish on a table I built for outdoors it went for about 4years and 300+ inches of rain before a redo.
