Kriss Posted December 9, 2023 Author Share Posted December 9, 2023 TRAGEDY!!! It so happened that part of my glazing disappeared. I searched all over the workshop and couldn't find it so I was left with no choice but to emboss myself with a speech part. The work in progress is. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Sure, sounds as if the carpet monster was extra hungry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Oh, I hate it when the carpet monster rears its ugly head. Otherwise the interior looks great and it looks like you're working towards a solution. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Masking completed, now painting. And a change of concept, I wanted to make the radar cover transparent and milky so it would be visible. But this concept fell through because I misbalanced the model and the radar would not be visible. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 In a nutshell the work on the engine at my place looked like this. Ready and prepared for camouflage painting as is the whole model. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I’m liking this! I’ve got the 1/32 kit to build my uncles ride during WWII. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, this is a big bird in 1/48. It is positively huge in 1/32!! Love the white/gray basing. This will turn out beautifully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 There was a bit of playing around with the camouflage on top, shading the surface so as not to overdo it, and that's how it came out. I didn't manage to keep the radar and I wanted to make a milk-coloured transparent cowl through which you could see it. Instead of the radar, I had to put a weight in there and I painted the cowl a milky colour. And as you can see from the photos I don't yet have a place to do a photo shoot, my studio like the rest of the house is under renovation. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Kriss, The Camo effect is very nice - great job! It is really hard to be consistent on a subject this large, but you nailed it. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 I managed to finish the P-61 A "Black Widow" from GWH, the model depicts the machine with its own name "Lady Gen", Florennes, Belgium, december 1944. The rest of the pictures will be in the gallery. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned to make it like that but unfortunately in place of the radar I had to give a load so that it was standing on the landing gear rather than sitting on the tail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Love this aircraft!! Beautiful job on your build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
