Hey Harv, sorry about that I guess it's because I was an AFV modeller and started modelling aircraft just recently :snoopy

Cheers Erik

[Iron Mike]

That is looking really good, Harv!

Quick shots. The aluminum panels are done (?) and not thrilled with them. To me , they look more grey than aluminum. So let me know what you think. Should I leave them or maybe try silver ? Thanks for looking in.....Harv

 

[nerdling]

Clicked the wrong button lol. I think the aluminum looks fine, maybe a bit on the grey side. But wouldn't they end up discolored due to the turbos

 

[jknaus]

Maybe drybrush old silver on the raised parts? And will you be adding the heat distress also?

I'm with James, maybe a dry brushing of a brighter silver, or maybe even chrome. Then take it a step further with a dirty wash just to make it look used and abused. Those superchargers are justfreakinfantastic!

 

[dirtball]

Thanks all!! I did take James advice, and did some dry brushing with silver, and they do look better ! Glad you like the turbo's ! I really love the way they came out !.......Harv

Well, I said I'd be doing some work. Finally got the PE on the nose gear door. Now, I like doing PE, but I gotta tell you all, this was one BIG PITA ! Very flimsy and hard to do. I can bend them with thought control ! There that bad. But they are on ( now we'll see if I can keep them on. The main doors should be a bit easier. The PE attaches to the kit parts that are glued to the fuss. Had to remove and sand all on the nose door. Hopefully I can get the mains done tomorrow and start painting them . After that, the props ! Enjoy !........Harv

 

[Paulw]

this is killer Harv, just keep keeping on.

 

[moon puppy]

They look good Harv

 

[dirtball]

OK, this isn't going well. I thought I could knock these out, but proving to be a bear. One of four done, took most of the day again. 11 pieces of PE per door. And why oh why Eduard, do you leave parts out of the plan ? No hinge point for front of door actuator ? Also heads up. The PE parts that are glued to the plastic mounts, they are numbered backwards ! Enjoy.........Harv

 

[moon puppy]

Typical Eduards huh Harv, their instructions are mere suggestions and not very good ones at that. Doing a good job with it though. Press on!

 

[phantom II]

Keep the faith Harv. I know what you mean about Eduards. Their instructions are the pits. Not even suggestions . I think somewhere in must say good luck or gotcha.
