Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 8 Author Administrators Share Posted April 8 But fear not, a touch of water and alcohol washed away our sins… Starging afresh. Well now let this sit overnight and re-examine it tomorrow evening. If I like it, we’ll seal it, then round the edges and give it a bit of depth. Earlier today, I mixed up some ANA 606 semi gloss sea blue for leading edges and such using Sea Blue XF-17, Flat Blue XF-8, Neutral Grey XF-53, and Gloss clear in the Tamiya range… 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 11 Author Administrators Share Posted April 11 Cut out the sliding side glass. A bit of a job, but then I polished it and dipped it for that perfect clear look. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 11 Author Administrators Share Posted April 11 And the wings now wait their turn to get tore up. Crazy how newly sprayed Non Spec Sea Blue looks compared to the top of the fuselage. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Ernie Nice work on cutting out the canopy window - delicate for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Holy smokes, that's pretty sharp, I love details like that, tropical heat, coral dust and burned gun powder just radiates from every picture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need to learn to attach, mask and fill canopy before painting. Less seam work that way… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Ernie Super work on the canopy, as it looks so good with the open windows. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Ernie you are doing a bang up job on this one but then again you seem to have the PTO weathering down pretty well of late. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a PTO kick lately, and I expect it’ll continue…. I love the twin engined mayhem distributors. I’m thinking a J version with the 345th BG might be in the works. tons of amazing nose art for these. Almost as good as the B-24s 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had such a variety of nose art and more painted on their planes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 45th pretty much not only invented, but perfected the tactic of low level B-25 operations, to devastating effect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
