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.
-

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. -
I hear that alot Dan but I kinda like the red still gives a good outline thanks for the compliment
-
Getting closer methinks it pulled(wash) together the chipping hid some abit and looks more PTO?what's your thoughts?

Appreciate the compliment Alan I am not one for killing the subject in weathering just enough to make it look used.I do not know how much more staining and such I will do I have a Tamyia Spitfire MkVIII looking at me to which I have never done a 1/32 Tamy kit!
-
Alright I laid down a tamyia black panel wash.then Florys Sand all covered by Alcad semi clear.The sand looks better in person than in the pics esp. along the fuse giving it a depth look probably be best outside but 100% overcast today.
