I have a couple more pics and have reversed the fuselage decals with the axe blade UP.I could not get the wings decals to lift and feared messing up the paint better to let it be.The prop is just stuck on ATTM the 20mm cannons are bigger than what was supplied in the kit but match closer to what is in the wheel well.I have one LG with a hose just need to get after the other,

Thanks Craig even with the miscue on the decals.Dan I fixed the ones on the fuselage as mentioned before they are kinda thick but those wings will not budge but thanks for heads up for the Folgore Mc-202.
-
Thanks Dan I knew they pointed outwards but figured blade down.I think I got some extras if not steal from the 202 and order for it.

Bristol F.2B WW1 Fighter by CDW - FINISHED - Eduard - 1:48 Scale
Javlin replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
That's looking real good Craig.I saw a fella I think @LSM use foam in between the wings/struts a fat piece then tape or a light rubber band.That's all the guy builds is WNW/WWI of course I think it keeps from sliding? -
She continues to move forward decals going down they appear to be a little on the thick side give it overnight but the Walters may make a showing tomorrow.She is starting to get that Stallion look.

I use to play in this scale with some of that details in the day but my patience and eyesight won't go there anymore.Nice work Andy!

I was just trying to replicate what to my eye was happening on some of the real ones in the pics but you are right it breaks it up quite nicely.

I made up some Dk It.Olive from regular It.Olive pretty close to the chips.I started by spraying the the plane with black botches then lined them loosely and erratically.The next step was to fill in the grey areas with the green then to covering the black and an overall spray to my liking.The pics I have seen of the crates was of a spotty appearance for a quick build is dragging out some.

It's been slow working in the other side of the shop on a piece for Sis.The Re.2005 has been primer fit overall was pretty good for a limited -run kit I think my projection of the exhaust is a bit extreme should of looked at more pics of the real thing instead went with the positive stops of the mold.I tried to loosen with acetone and about brought the whole build to a halt I managed to save the build after several cracks to the nose were repaired.The MG's in the nose are from the spares box while they gave resin for the wings which will be discarded for metal tubing.I still need to see if I have a suitable color for the top in the stash.

She is coming along Nicely Mike man I wish I could do 1/700 just so small.

I have glued the wings up a bit of sanding on the top of the wheel wells on the one I had to repair that .010" made a difference but was accomplished.The fit between the wing and the fuselage is exceptional for now......their is no dihedral looks like maybe 10'tops got to fix that.I f#$% up the exhaust and I knew I should not of glued them really snug/tight fit they stick out to far.The instructions do not show how much and I moved them to the point of a positive stop on the mold.I also made some bolts for the oleo's that were lost in removing them from casting block and will add hydraulics to the LG.I am still thinking when all said and done she will look good.

Not that one I heard that one is a bear.

I got the 202 also Craig.The one gun fairing is in one to go thinking of inserting some metal barrels if the originals protruded enough.
-
OK a couple more pics are started cleaning up the fuse wingroots look good have clearance from the copit tub and lower wing I cleaned enough off the wing.The second pic is the scary part dremel off the molded and insert the resin resin looks much better and realistic but I am going there maybe a little metal mg's?

The fuse is getting closed up tonight not much of an update have that feeling ready to move on.I had to cut the back half of the tanks to build this way just to much gap between the copit walls and the fuselage.I broke the rudder pedals off have to reattach not that anybody will ever see them a tight copit.FYI the tailwheel housing sat right on a pour plug has to be removed I think I have 35/45 sanding to get a good fit and paper thin in some areas .

I have built the G-55 it was pretty straight forward and easy this one also.I have an update coming but life has been getting in the way lately.The only thing about PCM is they were short run kits and the panel engraving is not like what we have today but they do look the part.

Javlin replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I like the looks thus far Craig. -
I always felt EG the delineation between straight/fuzzy comes down alot to the scale of the subject and 1/72 was always straight in my book.The crate is looking Nice Andrew!
-
That came out Quite Nice Alan!!
