An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Three Ok this is the last, or what I thought was the last, of the weathering. For this part I did go back over the different panels with the oils again. This time my main goal was to add a bit of blending. I did manage to get some better...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Two Many many thanks all. Joe

Many many thanks. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Two Ok for this update let me talk about my methods. First up for me was a drybrush of Testors Flat Aluminium. This concentrated on areas I felt and have seen received excess wear and tear on the paint due to crew use or even weathering. Along...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering One Many many thanks all. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering One With the continuing movement forward with the videos on this build it is time to throw out some better, used very loosely, quality images of the weathering. First up, and each of these will be a kind of summary of what happened. First the...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals Very kind, Thank you. Joe

Many many thanks all. Not bad for an aircraft guy. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals My friend I am actually working on another update, hopefully soon. Joe

Part of the reason my building seems to have taken a much slower pace. Recently I have been working on this project. Even captured part of the cover. I am pretty thrilled as this is my third article with them with more on the way. I am also humbled and honored that Martyn, the editor...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals Another update. Decals are on. Again for this build the markings are not my focus. This will however be the last update showing what I had planned to show. After this I go a bit off road. The decals went down with no issues. I used MicroSol to...

Pearl 2017..Getting Close Many many thanks. Joe

Pearl 2017..Getting Close Now for an update on the 1/72 B-18. The wings and the wing roots are now attached, puttied, cleaned up, and now painted. This kit has been a major chore all the way through. Next will be to get the markings on, some custom, and then finish out the small...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Ok second part. After several sessions I was not particularly thrilled with the look and went back and carefully sprayed some Testors Olive Drab from the square bottle to give it a bit of warmth. A couple of things I am pretty happy with. The...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Folks finally back to give a bit of an update. First up is to let you know that this has actually progressed quite a bit. This will show you the first few stages of the painting. First was a Flat Black overall coat then into the color. Model...

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Thanks all for the clarification. I remember there was a vacuform kit of the Bolo in 1/48 years ago. That is the one that I tried to get. Saul that is a cool pic. Had not seen that one before. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Moving Along Many thanks. Still quite a bit to do on it. Joe

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Interesting. Many years ago I tried to purchase the Williams kit. Sent in the money to the vendor and later found out that after I sent it in they went out of business. Money was never returned and no kit. Live and learn. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Moving Along Moving right along with this build. First up is to show .... I did make it through the attachment of the stabilizers. Once sanded and prepped it was paint time. After an initial coat of Rustoleum Flat Black the lower fuselage and wings...
