ASAT Posted April 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) So this is my second foray into plastic aircraft, I am trying to get some skills with plastic and paint so I can build the 1/24 Airfix Typhoon. This is in conjunction with my P-40 build on here as well... Started with the cockpit, this one has the belts molded into the seat, came out OK. Man! I don’t know how anyone could fold and make PE belts look that good! Know I know the P40 belts are way too big these things are tiny! Probably 1mm or even less!! Instrument panel and try some wiring on the radio stack up next....

ASAT Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks Lou, I started by painting the floorboards in front a medium brown and after it dried I painted the black over it, then I took some isopropyl on a brush and exposed the brown paint, mixed in some light tan and yellow highlights and used a dry brush technique to blend them till it looked like a worn down plywood floor... I didn’t know P-51’s had a wood floor till I started doing research for these builds, I read somewhere that they were painted with flat black paint mixed with sand for a non skid surface, so that’s what I envisioned.....

ASAT Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted April 5, 2020 So, there are a lot of assemblies that connect to the main cockpit frame, the cooling ductwork and exchangers, the tailwheel housing etc. Due to a big screw up on the instrument panel decal I am now at a work stoppage on this one too... I didn’t have any decal solvent or setting solution and this decal just would not conform to the instruments and was lifting... I read on the old internet that you can use acetone as a setting solvent...... NOT!! Man it dissolved it as soon as I touched it with the wet brush..... heart kind of sank but I found a Eduard cockpit detail set (FE 1074) for $13 but it’s gonna take a couple weeks to get here. I also did a preliminary painting of the cockpit sides but need to wait for the detail set to move on.... wellllll....... I am learning a lot and that was the intent of these builds so......

mtaylor Posted April 5, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 5, 2020 Setbacks do seem to be part of the learning process, don't they? I wish the virus would go away and we can get back to "normal"... whatever "normal" is. If they're coming from overseas it can take some time even when things are normal. There's a couple of places where if you order from them, they have to order from someone else which adds more time.

I have no idea. When I built my CH-53, I looked for after market parts. I ended up overseas in eastern Europe. There's a caveat to this... the CH-53 is NOT a popular model so after market would be hard to find. Edit: I see you started a separate topic for this question. I was going to suggest it but you beat me to it.

CDW Posted May 3, 2020 Share #21 Posted May 3, 2020 That's beautiful cockpit work, Lou. Love your attention to detail. Earlier, you asked about online shops with reasonable shipping being a prerequisite. There are 2 shops that I find have the best inventory, shipping cost, and speedy service: these are Spruebrothers and Scalehobbyist. Just add the ".com" behind their names, and you'll find them.

ASAT Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share #23 Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks Jeff, I will look for some, Craig, I will check out those vendors, are the pliers more versatile than the vise type benders?

CDW Posted May 3, 2020 Share #24 Posted May 3, 2020 Lou Of the three tools, the 2 sets of pliers are the most versatile in my opinion. However, there are certain bending jobs that are very hard to do without the "vise" type tool. I have no personal experience with the Takom Tigers yet, but they look very nice. I have a couple other Takom armor kits and they are extremely well detailed.

CDW Posted May 3, 2020 Share #28 Posted May 3, 2020 Some of the Takom kits have full interior details. That's a big difference in parts count which jack up the cost. Most kits have at least one online review and/or build thread. That's your best bet to learn the differences.

ASAT Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share #29 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Yeah, I’ve been looking into them, I have been comparing the king tigers with full interior, some with zimmeret, some without, Henschel and Porsche turrets, etc. the only thing I can guess is that the kits that are $20 more seem to have individual track links - would that be it? I am really preferring the kits with the link and length jigs that seem to have a suffix letter S after the number - Tak 2045S for example.... hard to get definitive info though....
