Peterpools Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Kai Looking so good. Progress may look small and going slowly, but I can fully appreciate the amount of work and time that was needed to complete these details and parts. Replacing lost, removed or missing panel lines is my least favorite part of any build and it just seems when you think you're done, presto; there is more that was lurking. You're a amster at finding them and restoring the lost details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thank you all for your feedback! Rescribing isn’t my favorite too Peter but is one of the features that defines the quality of the finished model. Small progress within all the rescribing: I have meanwhile preshaded and painted the area around the wing sweeping mechanism: Now back to the bench and the rescribing… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 The area of the wing-sweep-mechanism had to be painted and weathered in advance since it’s not possible to reach all areas of it when the covers are attached. For this job I prepared some homemade masks for the sweep-area. I used fotos as reference. Then I started replicating the grinding marks in the wing pivot area by using the masks and a photo of this area of the aircraft I build. I used „soot“ of the Tamiya weatherine set applied with a reworked brush and an eraser. Repeated this on the undersides of the wing and then glued the covers in place. Making of the masks: Preparation for application of grinding marks: Guiding-lines applied with a pencil: That’s how they look like on the original plane: Things used for application: Applied before erasing: Finished result on the lower wings: And on the upper wings: Next step will be the priming of the rest of the plane. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
