KevinM Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 A challenging build for certain guys loosing LG parts L/R issues with the paint and such but maybe the good Lord was steering me?I think I learned some new things along the way and getting more comfortable with other techniques.I have appreciated all the likes and comments in the build thread it helped to keep focused.Now for some pics ....last pic yes I almost forgot the tube. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Thats a great finish ! Very sun burnished look to the skin . TBH I found the landing gear a PITA too, I think I may have cheated a bit on mine . Nice one Kevin ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did too the R/LG took apart put back together still just a tad short wing dip.I used the flat wheels luckily and glued a .020" shim to the bottom was all it took to get the wings level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Like PW said, you achieved a great finish and very real looking weathering, Kevin. I love the Tempest in NMF and hope mine will come out close to yours, when it´s time. Cheers Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You Rob knowing you yours will look better. 7 minutes ago, Martinnfb said: Really convincing finish Kevin, well done! That was the whole goal from the start Martian and I think I got pretty close to the photo of the plane in flight down to the bolt heads and the exhaust stain.Notice to Martian came out better then the 109 oil staining on the prop and the nose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 It would be nice to take some pictures outside, in the natural daylight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
