Jeff Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Dale................ you mention Fine Molds seat belts................. I hunted all over for a venue that sells them, and came up dry,............. well sorta , there was an Oriental website, and of course it was in their own language, and as I can barely get through our own English it didn't do me a whole lot of good..... where would you access these Fine Mold Belts? I think they might be a great idea for me to try out.......... as I 'might' have more or at least different success with them................ can you point this old hound in a direction, buddy? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJTX Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Jeff I grab mine of Ebay. They're great little things. Way better than photo etch and much easier than fabric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Work so far. This isn't my best effort regarding painting gluing etc. (Though it will my best if I complete it) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Thank you, Carl. Strangely, I had loads of trouble fitting the radiator. It was really out. So I had to sand, then break things off. (Blaming my numb hands) Hopefully after all the glue has cured I can fix any blemishes. I am not going to touch the fuselage until tomorrow. Time to look at the prop. I love the effect Chris Wauchop gets on his wheels and propeller. Unsure how to do this, I am thinking thinned clear with a touch of buff thrown in and then airbrushed. Thoughts? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 What to do? I must choose another. I will try something other than an old WWII aeroplane. The only large model jets I have are few. I am lucky I can laugh at myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I screwed up the other fuselages too. Not to worry. I have a large stash and my intent was good. I need to do a completely different subject. I only have 4 jets in 1/32. I was disappointed at first. Now I can do something different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry to read this, was really enjoyable watching this build, but am happy you're taking something positive from it. May I ask, how come your hands were numb? Your models are all the more astonishing if that's a permament condition... There was a crash-landed P40 discovered in the Egyptian Desert a couple of years back, which I've often thought would make an excellent diorama... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
