My Theme Builds...

[Hippy Ed]

Goodsuggestions Bob. I'll try that next time I really don't know how or why they fogged up! Done it the same way as many of my other builds... Future the canopy/windscreen, let dry real good before I attach it with Testors clear Parts cement. Never had an issue before.

Took a lil doing but, gear bays are now closed!! :woohoo: hyeah Got some putty work ta do but, will manage it some how...

 

[Hippy Ed]

Also slapped some International Red on the intake fronts

Spent part of the day cleaning off the canopy & windscreen & it appears they clouded up on me! 1st time I've had that happen :frantic Oh well, nothing I can do about it...
Anyways, got some touch up ta do on them when the paints arrive :tomato

Dropped them off at the PO this afternoon should be there soon .... ldguy

Say Gerry, do you know of a product for blackening brass or copper?

EJ

 

[Swordsman]

Have you tried blacken-it made by A west ??? there's a write up of it on Swaney's Models ..... ldguy

 

[phantom II]

There's a better product out but the name escapes me . Ask an armor guy

 

[Hippy Ed]

Well fellas, I've got the drop tanks ready ta rattle can & will attach them later today & hopefully get the last few decals added onto the F4D-1 :drinks

Also got the PBY-5A on the bench now so,, stay tuned... :frantic :tomato

 

[Hippy Ed]

I managed to get the shapes of the inner hull so I can make bulkheads & will start an attempt on "borrowing" a page from fightNjoe's book on scratching them :hmmm :frantic
Whilst looking over the instructions & decals, I am CORnvinced this is a repop of a much older kit due to the sparceness of it. Instruction sheet is a photocopy & shows a decal on the I.P. but, decal sheet doesn't have it on there hmy: :S
So, time ta do some research & dig around & see what I got that I kin "borrow" for an I.P. :hmmm






and I'll post some pics in a bit :smack
