KevinM Posted November 12 Posted November 12 Now I have the Trumpter 1/48 F-100C main color is Alclad #126High Shine AL. Rudder is Alclad #101 Basic AL..The tail are was first Alclad Exhaust manifold,Pale burnt metal a darker Burnt metal all applied in a vertical motion if I had a blue vary sparing some of that would of happened.I had to do some touch-ups on the 126 from paint and I started noticing it was just a tad different and I started doing verticals on the fuse.I hope it last overnight and stays just breaks up the scheme to my liking. 5
BlrwestSiR Posted November 17 Posted November 17 I've hurt my shoulder so bench time has been a bit sparse of late. I can manage short stunts before the pain gets too much so I haven't really gotten much done. That being said, I finished the upper torso to the Wing Gundam. With the upper CIWS Gatlings and the cockpit open. I've used a silver Prismacolor pencil to do some weathering. I've got the shoulder parts all trimmed and cleaned up ready for a coat of paint and then assembly. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted November 18 Posted November 18 The Wing Gundam shoulders are together now. Which allowed me to attach the arms and head to the torso. A close-up of the head. If you're wondering about the proportions, this is one of the Super Deformed series of kits. That's Bandai speak for their Cute/Egg style models. 6
belugawhaleman Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Nice Work Carl😀 Sorry to hear about your shoulder......Hope you recover soon. 2 1
BlrwestSiR Posted November 19 Posted November 19 Thanks Paul! I'm back to the doctor tomorrow to see if the X-rays and ultrasound found anything. 3
DocRob Posted November 19 Posted November 19 You are no Gundam Carl, only human. There are no parts to exchange, so all the best for your shoulder. Cheers Rob 3 1
KevinM Posted November 19 Posted November 19 I am moving slowly along on this one the LG's are in place kinda tricky all three!The LG's need to be built while stilling drying to get the proper alignment of three different actuator arms on the main gear and two on the front.The instructions are not the best in drawing or location and to do one side a couple times hence work while drying.I am hoping the decals work well on these curves or I will have to come up with a plan B?I can find lots of D's/F's decals C's hmnn.... 7
KevinM Posted Saturday at 04:07 PM Posted Saturday at 04:07 PM So lets start with that the decals suck 1/2 of the yellows are out of register and the same with the stars and bars.The red stripes on the engine area were just to then all the decals are so off to painting.I am having to handle this A/C way to much broke off one of the fuel pods no biggie just the point.I am at the point I want to just finish and move on. 6

KevinM Posted Monday at 12:42 AM Posted Monday at 12:42 AM Another one hits the cabinet not as good as the Hustler but pretty decent.I was able to cut away the most offending out register decal on the L/tail area while on the plane straight edge/razor/water.One can still see some register problems on the yellow arches but at this point it is what it is.The blue of the engine area I played with clear blue kinda worked just those areas usually had silver w/blue on top ...next plane. 6
BlrwestSiR Posted Monday at 01:05 AM Posted Monday at 01:05 AM A pile of parts... ...which led to the legs getting done. 4

The heat staining looks great to me. Also, nice recovery from the decals issues. 3 1

Nice looking NMF, Kevin, like Carl said, the heat staining looks pretty convincing. Cheers Rob 2
BlrwestSiR Posted Tuesday at 02:52 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:52 AM Found this in the stash. It's an old kit that I don't remember when I started. The biggest hurdle is the decals which are old and yellowed. But I recently found that the decals have been reprinted so now I need to track a set down and maybe this'll see more of the bench. Once some other stuff is done. 6
