discussion 1/48 Revell Ta-154

[AlanG]

All my photos on here are also taken with my Nokia. I use an N95, what one do you have?

I have the very same phone Ian. The Carl ZeissOptics make it the bees knees in my book

Hi Allyne, that cabling looks the business, should make a spectacular model with that paint job when its finished. Cheers Derek

 

[AlanG]

Added some weight (about 50g) to each engine like the instructions ask for. PVA is still drying but sterting to clear now so shouldn't be long.

Built the wings up now and dry fitted them. Slight gaps but nothing the tippex won't handle

Never could get a good result with Revell, but I see you dont have that problem, top job on this bird.

 

[AlanG]

Still got some filling to do but i've masked the canopy and dry fitted it. Looks ok.

So that glue finally dried then!

Looking good. I rather like the moskito kind of funny that they actually gave it the same name as the very plane they built it to defeat!!

Good work on the interiors. Like the cables. I hope in the end everything is visible.

 

[Guest]

[AlanG]

Still got to go a very long way to make it looking anything as good as your Ju88 Trey

Slow progress on this at the moment. Family commitments and work dictates this

Still i've just added the nose cone and given the base colour (rust) to the exhaust covers. Going to try and weather them a little. Also got to do some pre-shading after i've cleaned up the filler

Well done some pre-shading and also added a little to the exhaust covers (pic doesn't show it too well). Suppose i'd better start to paint this beast now eh?

Al moving along nicely ,ca'nt wait to see some paint go down!

 

[AlanG]

Well i was going to start the painting but i realised that there are a load of little bits that need to be added underneath and therefore the undercarriage has to be fitted so they don't get broken off. So i initially painted the landing gear but it needs touching up after it was fitted. I'll do that tomorrow once the glue has hardened properly. Here's how it's looking so far. Oh and yes the nose cone was removed so i can get the nose gear on (i should really read the instructions better).

Ok just righted the model and placed it on it's legs and found it's still a tail sitter

Not got any lead left so will have to go into town at some point and get some lead shot. So this one's on hold until i get some

 

[Ian M]

Dont ya just hate it when that happens. Fortunatly I have about 90kg of lead sitting out in the shed.

Wondered why the church roof leaked.........
