Steve Scanlon Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 So the T90 is waiting for an AM barrel, so I thought it was time to try the dark side, hence my attempt at something with wings on it! Bear in mind my past attempts at wingy things usually ended up in the bin! LOL.
RalphSarc Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 OMG say it isn't so!! I thought I felt a rip in the time-warp continuum and a disruption in the force, lol!!
Steve Scanlon Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 Yep start the car mother, I have already had to repaint the seat cushions a more green colour, kind of looked more brown than green on the pics. start of the learning curve.
Steve Scanlon Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Ok so nervously working my way through this, ejector seats with Eduard photo etch, Thanks. 2
RalphSarc Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Wow your seat work looks absolutely fantastic. Love the seatbelts! Who makes them?
Steve Scanlon Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks Ralph, The seat belts are Eduard, I have also got their zoom set for the cockpit I think they are great. 1
Steve Scanlon Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 More work on the cockpit some detail work to do yet, Thanks. 1
RalphSarc Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Beautiful job so far. I really like the seats. They look fantastic!!!
Steve Scanlon Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks Ralph, I am quite pleased with them, always more you could do with them once you start getting into it but this is enough for me, I intend finishing this one without the intervention of the bin. 1
RalphSarc Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks Ralph, I am quite pleased with them, always more you could do with them once you start getting into it but this is enough for me, I intend finishing this one without the intervention of the bin. I just bought a Revell 4849 1/32 BAe Hawk T.1 RAF Kit on eBay :-) Are you doing yours black?
Steve Scanlon Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah all black, I may get into grey one later if I manage to finish this. 1
RalphSarc Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah all black, I may get into grey one later if I manage to finish this. After two nightfighters in a row I'm over black, lol but this is a very attractive aircraft dressed in gloss black so I will do the same! Did you use the cockpit decals out of the box? I assume you ordered the seatbelts direct from Edward?
Steve Scanlon Posted June 28, 2014 Author Posted June 28, 2014 Agree Ralph, looks superb in the gloss black, the instruments are also Eduard and a big improvement over the kit decals, they are the zoom range and come ready painted and self adhesive, I usually get this sort of stuff from Sprue Bros. 1
RalphSarc Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I'll have to check out Spruce Brothers when I get ready to start the build. Since I'm close to finishing my Ju88 build I ordered Edward seatbeats, remove before flight ribbons and photo etched instruments panels for my Beaches to Berlin P38J Lockheed Lightning build. I may also wire it for LED lights too!! 1
Steve Scanlon Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Thanks guys, this kind of out of my comfort zone for me so I progress slowly, any way got the fuselage filled with bits? and now have the fuselage in one piece, tried hard to get as good a joint as poss. went together quite well needed a little bit of fiddling, Thanks, Steve. 1
Steve Scanlon Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Oh yes, put some fishing weights in there, tips forward nicely when I support the centreline, 1
Steve Scanlon Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 So I have started filling and cleaning up the seams on the fuselage, did not seem too bad but the intake areas took a bit of work to clean up and blend and did some rescribing, interested to see how it looks with primer on, working on the vent panel on top of the fuselage which was not a particularly good fit, found the steps in some areas of the fuselage joints irritating almost cut the locating pegs off and went for a butt joint but persevered in the end, Thanks. 1
Steve Scanlon Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 Starting to look like a plane now, a fair bit of filling and cleaning up needed but no real problems, have decided to scratch some FOD covers as well, Thanks. 1
RalphSarc Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Boy you're coming along pretty good for a armor guy, lol!!! It's here :-)
Steve Scanlon Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks Ralph, I am really enjoying this and she is a great looking aircraft, looking forward to seeing you do yours, 1
RalphSarc Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm building a 1/48 Revell HH53 now and after that it Revell's Hawker Hunter. Arno and I are building that together on Skype!! Then it will be the Hawks turn! 1
