Jack12477 Posted December 30, 2020 #1 Posted December 30, 2020 Now for build number 2 in the anti-boredom project, the DHC -6 Twin Otter done in the colors of the Canadian Rescue service. First the box art and sprue contents, sorry I started building before I dragged out the camera, EG. 😉 The model can be built in one of 4 variants, including a float and ski plane. I prefer the ski plane variant and will build it as such Decals provided lmagna, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 4 others 7 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour
Jack12477 Posted December 30, 2020 Author #2 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) So I started assembling the model. Only 4 sprue! Not a lot of parts per sprue. Assembled the cockpit interior which cannot be seen once the 2 halves are glued together, installed all the tiny glass windows, glued the hull halves together. Simple ! Added the engine nacelles to the wings, selected the nose cone for the variant. Nose needs 20 g of weight to keep the nose wheel on ground (tail sitter), so I added a bunch of copper clad steel BBs. And now senility sets in, to keep the BBs in place I squeezed some Testors plastic cement over the BBs and attached the nose cone to the hull. (You all know where this is going! Right ! ?) 🤔☹ Yep a few hours later I notice that the port side of the nose is slowly melting....... 😒 Left it overnight to see what would happen after the glue had fully cured. Photos below show the disaster. Guess this is what happens to "ole coots" when they spend too much time underground.. 😷 The ole grey matter turns to mush. So today I took out the Tamiya White Putty and a small spatula and started filling in and reshaping the nose cone. Stay tuned !

Canute Posted January 5, 2021 #15 Posted January 5, 2021 Looks good Jack. Back in the 70s, our intel shop had a number of models of Soviet jets that were in similar appearance.

Jack12477 Posted January 7, 2021 Author #23 Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) replacing the windscreen would be near disastrous.

Edwardkenway Posted January 8, 2021 #25 Posted January 8, 2021 Just a suggestion Jack, when I used to do yellow on my grey plastic miniatures I primed them first with an off white/cream, made for a better cover without brightening the yellow too much. As I say just a thought.

Canute Posted January 8, 2021 #26 Posted January 8, 2021 Yes, yellows are translucent, like the tube label says (as are reds) and the primer is critical. Add another coat of yellow, taking some of the sheen off to get the next coat to stick.

Canute Posted January 8, 2021 #28 Posted January 8, 2021 That's a good primer and light gray should work. It's the translucent yellow. Strip and redo or try a second coat? I'd try a second coat.
