Revell 1/48 F-86D - finished

[paddy]

I was interested in the ejector seat here so had to look it up

The Ejection Site: F-86 Ejection Seat

Everything you {n}ever wanted to know about Ejection Seats!!!

www.ejectionsite.com

This site might also help other looking for ejector seat info

The seat included a seat height adjustment that only differs from the currect style of office chair in the location of the handle.

From that website

Actually this is a better link as the first link has no external links so only good for an F86

According to this book the D version did use a different seat than the A Version


except the straps I just used everything OOB and it looks quite OK what Revell or Monogram or who ever did here

If the pilots seat was anything like my office chair he would slowly sink during the flight till he couldn't see over the instrument panel....then he would have to stand up, pull the lever so it springs up and start the whole nonsense over again before he landed

and on it goes

Making it all black - in this case Revell Aqua glossy


and then make it silver again - in this case Lifecolor White Aluminium

Doing some washes on some small parts

Masking and painting white


Painting the inner areas of the wings - this is Lifecolor Steel - and yes it was masked too

And masking and painting the antiglare - in this case Vallejo olive something, i have forgotten which one


so, this happened this week.
The upcoming two weeks I m on travel, so there won't be hapen anything in here

Thanks for looking in

Nice to see metallizer taking the beating of being mask.

Pretty!

Thanks a lot, Gentlemen!

so, my weekend is over, it's about time to get everything sorted and then I'm on travel again starting tomorrow morning at 3:30

And thats, what happened friday an saturday evening

A lot more masking on the wing tanks, to have those black lines, the decals didn't do what they were supposed to do



and I coreccted the olive area, as the shape was not correct. The tail fin was also sprayed white with black line




The engine I declare finished, except some weathering to follow

I'll have to take care about those hairs there

ah, yes, I also started decaling - only about 200 more to come

the area at the front of the tanks has to be painted black, this also has to follow

Thanks for looking in

[paddy]

Excellent work

 

[Impisi]

Thanks a lot Gentlemen!

some more decals are on, all the big ones




still some 100++ small ones to follow

Thanks for looking in

 

[moon puppy]

Nailin' it Martin!

 

[Dave The Chef]

Very nice work!

 

[Impisi]

Thanks a lot Gentlemen!

Really?!?! Dave the Chef ??? long time ago ... welcome back.

it is really stunning, one does stick about 100 stencils to a relativly small plane and you hardly see a big deifference





well, this makes me think next time I'll let it be

anyway, it did also get a sealing coat and tomorrow is washing time

Thanks for looking in

But you know they are three. The closer you look, the more you see. That's what counts.

 

[jeaton01]

Well done, worth all the effort I think.
