Looking good there Craig.

This has been moving slower than expected on my part being the kit fits so well together.The belts from RB were lets say a bit of a challenge or maybe I been spoiled by Quintas?I spent three nights doing these belts one night just walking away....The pics I wish I would of looked at one last time before assembly being a little fuzzy.The wing is glued,canopies masked and working the LG's now.I am hoping things start moving a little bit quicker.

I have gotten a the copit just about finished only thing left now is the bottles behind the seat.The two yellow handles on top of the main control are PE from a 1/48 kit with white glue then painted.The AC on display here in the US shows two red and three yellows bent inward.I have AM seatbelts in the stash/wall just need to locate.

I have noticed Chris on this plane the wear/flaking is not your regular Japanese aircraft it seems to originate at the seam(s) itself of spar joints 🤨
-
Chris if not to much hassle post some pics interested in the chipping these planes were not a Zero with tons of it those card guys are usually quite realistic.I plan to paint the whole plane black,silver then the green and chip from there.

I started this evening one of my favorites of the Japanese Army much their version of the P-47 in my book just has that bulky look about it.I painted the interior colors Tamiya Interior Japanese Green 71 very close to MrHobby 23 letting that part dry overnight but I could not stop there.The fuselage builds like a ship model with three bridges that really align and stabilize the fuse.I also went ahead and started the tail,tailplane and the landing flaps the model just builds like many little sub-assemblies!I rather like!I will probably have the copit finished tomorrow.

I thought I share a build I did as a quick GB for another site main thing was using some AM decals out the collection other than that she is OOB guys.The whole plane was covered in Alclad Light Sheen for metal surfaces it seems to work well.I did have a couple of snafus on the decals one the prop and the other was fixed with paint.I was going to Tamyia black panel wash the plane but the yellow just said "No" to me just thinking to stark.Well I hope it somewhat measures up looks good enough to hit the cabinet the last P-51D went to someone else's house it was that or the trash can!!

-
Like it Gary cars are not my gig really for the most part but she came out good!
-
So I had to go look that one up Ken...so in a good way or was he arrogant?I have heard from past interviews he was somewhat easy to get along?🤨
-
You kinda perked my interest also in these loco's Oh and by the way No.1 build looks sweet!

Thanks OC she had her tribulations but learning new avenues.

I am calling this one done fellas I had three pieces left to install two landing lights and the clear underwing light ..well as my luck has been the last I dropped the r/wing light and wala it was frigg'in gone 🤨.... I am not manufacturing another one I figure by the time I get done sanding and repainting I will break another gun barrel the antenna/pitot tube will both wala best to stop while ahead.I figure should it show fix it then, The kit is a worthy kit for a P-47 the subtleties of the lines and rivets are quite nice.I had no issues with the front cowling myself upon examination notches are supplied to remove any guess work on your part.I thought I had the aux.fuel tank aligned let it sit overnight well it slid some I left it been breaking to much on this one. The one thing I did not understand you have a square hole for the LG but it was loose I mean the reason for square to get a uniform alignment no guess work other than that decals/stencils worked out great beginning to not like Florry's Dust would of been fine with the Sand like you see on the bottom.I was trying to lighten the color of of the OD for sun fade not to successful but is better than the P-40.

Though not finished as of yet the time is near.The kit is the 1/48 MiniArt which I would highly recommend to which I think the lines/rivets surpasses the Tamiya's offering for me at least.I had to do the bombs twice seeing the first go round the seams still showed some.I applied the second time the MrSurfacer 1000 with foam(1st time qtip) pad till it started to dry and pulling the foam back I got resistance this pulled the paint outward creating a stubble effect like cast iron.The effect in 1/32 one might need MS500 just guessing?

Thanks for the input EG I have never ever feared resin or paint fumes but I am learning there are some sawdust you just want to avoid. -
Coming together Nicely Andy
-
Looking sweet Rob
-
Thanks Andy not now though over killed the weathering on this one with to much dust effect
-
In 1/72 could see that I have problems with the pencil working the walkway to the pit on the wing seems a sponge would do better.
-
It's not to bad I think you need a more porous sponge and almost dry thanks for the tip I usually only do inside the plane.

Looking good Andy I am doing the Trumpter 1/48 P-40B in the same camo the Middlestone in your first pic looked light to mine but your fourth pic we are dead on.The Dark Earth mine has a tad to much red in it used French Earth it looks ok.
