Thanks so much for all the positive support ,Vaughan ,Ole, Si,Peter,Joe,Derek,Andy,Ron & Paul. Ron I could'nt think of a way to incorp panels with the cut away so just did a random free hand,glad to hear you like the way it came out,frankly I was scared that I had buggered the whole deal.Yes Paul its my first cut away and I dreaded every minute of it!!!! Again thank all of you so much for all the positive support,its really a big help!!!
While waiting for the mask to arrive from down under decided to tidy up some details. The front windscreen and forward bulk head pe is really nice
Got to try out the new bendinding tool and its money well spent in my book
The instructions indicate some 'minor' sanding could be required for proper fit. That would be a slight understatement as it took a full day of tedious fitting ,sanding,filing and re-fitting to get it even close! This is not for the faint of heart or impatient modeller!! However the reward is well worth the effort as it adds some really nice detail in a highly visible area.
Next I drilled out the exhaust and painted the assemblies. Starting with a gold base I then used the A/B to apply some metalizer gun metal from Model Master. Then a wash of game color black and a dry brush of testors silver.
Next up the Pilot figures,painted with Model master enamels and finished with citadel washes . Figures are a weak point for me but I'm working hard to get better at it.
cheers Trey
