Old Collingwood Posted February 12, 2020 Author #66 Posted February 12, 2020 So! - It begins, I couldn't help it "I had to", I got the box out - checked the instructions and found the first build section (Bomb bay), so I cut away the first sections needed then put them in a tub and with the aid of washing up liquid/hot water and a tooth brush, I gave the parts a clean to remove the release agent. Then when dry I assembled the main bomb bay floor containing the fuel tanks, and the two bulkheads, this was set aside to dry. Here are the first two pics showing the stage so far and the instructions stage. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted February 12, 2020 Author #67 Posted February 12, 2020 Done a bit more - I decided to fit some pipework - for this I used electrical fuse wire, I put a small smear of ca down then layed some wire, with a hairdryer to set It set in place - I then did the same to a run underneath. I then painted both fuel tanks the brick Red colour - for this I used Red Ocre, after drying this I added a few coats of dark wash - very watery then dried in between each layer, the main green shade still needs to be applied.

CDW Posted February 14, 2020 #87 Posted February 14, 2020 OC What color are you going to use for the cockpit area. Do all British WW2 aircraft share the same cockpit color? For US aircraft, it's almost universally zinc chromate green. You can get that color by mixing Tamiya's green and lemon yellow, but they (Tamiya) don't sell a premixed color for zinc chromate. For my current project, I've been using Vallejo Model Air zinc chromate, but recently found out I had bought the only bottle of it in town. If I had known it was that scarce, I would have mixed my own with Tamiya paints. I had to order some Vallejo from another state and am waiting for it to arrive. lmagna, Canute, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
