GazzaS Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Looking good. I'll be interested to see how you weather this as I have a silver-doped finish in the future somewhere. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's any weathering, it'll be light as I don't tend to go too heavy with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 I've been working on the fuselage seam. The upper one had been fairly straightforward to fill and clean up. In fact, it barely needed anything. The lower side has been more work though. The halves joined in a concave manner so I've needed a bunch of filler to level things. I was primarily using CA for this but I've had to use some Tamiya putty in the end. Hopefully it'll sand out nicely. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thanks Anthony! It's definitely not a shake and bake kit but I'm still enjoying the build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Got a bit more done today. After checking the seams were ok, I added the PE stitching. I then put a coat of paint on. For the silver, I'm using Tamiya silver lacquer. Seems to have enough of a full appearance to look like silver dope rather than metal My eldest saw the fuselage and said: "Cool, I didn't know you're building a submarine." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks everyone! I did a quick mockup as I'm going to have figure out the wing struts next How does this look? Do the wings seem to be level? After I did that mockup, I realized the lower wing needs to have its dihedral added to make things sit correctly. So I'm going to have to try again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 To me, the right wing looks a tad lower than the left one (reversed on the front pic you show : the right wing is on the left). I was about to comment before I even read your question Hubert 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Thanks Hubert! The right wing does dip a bit. I'll have to make some adjustments to it and the struts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
