Some filler there for the wing roots and seam lines Theuns


Nice start
 
Thread owner
The wingroots were fixed by bending the wings to propper angle and then loads of glue and cyno :-)


I made the winglets from some plastic sheet and by heating and forming to the correct shape, now I need to blend it to the wingtips.

Looks good so far Theuns, maar I'm not much of a airplane model guy so I could be so wrong! Where in Jozi are you based? I want to get back into modelling again and need some advice on where you buying paints/materials/kits etc... Lekker dag verder

Howzit....nee lekker!


I am in Roodepoort but work at Rand airport in Germiston....hence the damn long commute every day :-( Rebuilding a few planes there.


I buy most of my stuff at either esswex in Northcliff or aviation shop randpark. Sometimes I use (in this case) MAV decals.


I would sugest you come visit us at the military meseum every last saturday of the month for the IMPS meeting. Great fun, no rivet counters ,loads to learn and I usuallu by models there aswell guys sell....at highly reduced prices :-)

That is indeed "painfully orange" , to get the correct color is going to be hard.

I only now see the spotty look of it, it must be the camera giving hassles.


I could not find the orange I liked so I used nail varnish from the local clothing store's bargain box, thinned with lacure thinners it worked well.

Nice orange coat Theuns, the nail varnish worked nicely. It certainly is bright.
