That's some very neat re-scribing Ian! not something that I'd want to try

Nice work Ian, much admiration for the rescribe job. Yes, those machine guns are in a precarious position. Good luck with the masking (be keen to see how you tackle that as I will have to deal with it myself later)

 

[papa 695]

Got the figures painted and put in place, also started to mask the glass.

The engines put onto the wings, not a bad fit at all, now ready to put the wings on. Tail plane also fitted.

Nice work Ian, that's a lot of masking.

 

[Dave W]

Coming along nicely Ian.If I was building it I guarantee I would break the guns off!.

 

[tommy1drop]

Nice start Ian, hope you don`t mind if I tag along

 

[yak face]

Nice progress Ian ,if it was me I'd already be looking on the floor for the snapped off guns!! cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

No problems Tommy glad to have you along

 

[papa 695]

Cheers Dave and Tony. Take a good look at the back of the plane ( no guns in sight )

They had to come off, I will glue the barrels back on when I finish it

Well as you can see I've got all the glass masked and fitted, wings on got to get the undercarriage covers and back wheel on then it's time for some undercoat and paint

Looking good so far.

Maybe a stupid question that I should know but...why are raised panel lines bad? Is it just because the panels can take a wash when scribed? I have some classic kits with raised lines but I really want to build them as they are.

Thanks Scott

For me Aaron it's just that aircraft don't normally have raised panel lines so it's just to get the right look, but you do get the added bonus of the wash going into the panels better

 

[aaron]

Cheers Ian, any way I can just build it with raised lines and have it look good? I think rescribbing is beyond me.

I was going to add you could just build it anyway Aaron. Looking forward to what you have got to show us

 

[dubster72]

What you can do Aaron with raised panel lines, is trace over them with a soft pencil (it works best over a matt coat) & from a few inches it'll look the same as engraved panel lines.
