pg265 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hello there, Thank you. Tiny update. In order to definitively close the fuselage and install the center wing box, the latest additions are underway. It is therefore necessary to finalize the cockpit and the engine to have no surprise during assembly of the firewall. This last determines the successful integration of the entire front section. The motor is thus completed to 98%: Some details still need to be added before a light "aging" and installation of reinforcement arms of the lower window: More shortly ... pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pg265 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi, Thanks a lot for nice comments! Salmon is a mix from Model Master Acrylic paints. Small progress, but progress. I was not really satisfied with the cockpit because of the details I had decided not to represent ... were missing! So I removed the support of the hydraulic system to add connections and pipes. It seems a bit raw at the moment but once painted, it will look better. Fittings .031 "and .038" 0.3 cables pipes, 0.5, 0.6. That's it. pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi, The cockpit is now enclosed in the fuselage. I finalized the stick adding the conduct of the "funnel". Hard to see with the center wing box in place, but I will try to take a picture tomorrow. Lower window reinforcements are also installed, painted and slightly weatheredas well as the "bottom" of the cockpit. The pipes have all well took their place: Cool! Next step : Maybe weathering the wheel wells I also paint the internal frames of the windshield and canopy. Green for the first, to have the cockpit color on the lower area of the transparent part: Still need to install the flap control handle on the left side, straddling the transparent part and fuselage. Tamiya part is misplaced in my opinion. Eduard seems to have made the same error on the new resin cockpit ... The canopy is equipped with its opening handles , slightly visible at the moment, and receives a coat of zinc chromate. The under layer will allow a possible additional small effect in the weathering process... I know it is not really consistent in terms of color (maybe hue is the right term? Sorry for my poor English...), but ... More soon. pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Good evening, Thanks George! Progress but few pictures. After bonding the two halves of body, the bead is removed with a blade. A very rapid transition from abrasive in places enough to guarantee a good surface finish, no filler. A slight darker line at the junction area is sometimes perceptible, but it is that the weld of melted plastic. Exhausts were drilled, refined and covered with a thin layer of "cockpit black": Very thin layer of Alclad Black Primer in anticipation of the "Airframe alu" underlayer : The inside of the glass parts are partially weathered: These tasks have been an opportunity to try one of the last painting tools: I start to stock up in anticipation of the next ... Corsair More soon. Pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg265 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi, Small update. A very thin veil of Light Gray went on aluminum rims. Maskol protects tires. The Maskol is removed and black is quickly sprayed to do a touch up on the tire and slightly darken the flanks The first weathering step: It was also time to take care of the wings. One word about the build quality: Perfect! Wing tips are separate parts ... Deadly accuracy of the assembly!! Care should be taken not to forget to pierce the upper surface for the passage of small circular lights mounted from inside. The propeller received his second thin coat of Alclad Black Then ... 2 light coats of Airframe Aluminum The blades are then taken up with a little more pressure and less paint to keep the tone, thickening the layer to make it more solid and less shiny Time for the Black (Semi Gloss Black from Model Master Acrylic) The layers are very thin while emphasizing the central, and the trailing edge of the blades. Lighter on the leading and the rear end face of the blades. The yellow should be passed quickly on the blades tips.... Time for Yellow! Masking tape and a bit of Maskol on the tip leading edge: Yellow Zinc Chromate as primer: Insigna Yellow: A mist of yellow is srayed on the back side: Discreet, but that's the purpose! Part of the hub is painted Mat Alu and the tip Airframe Alu. First "wash": With Hamilton Logos and instructions: Wings done: Test fit... Terrific!!
