WOW! Those engines were a struggle but well done getting them sorted. Masking may have been difficult but end result looks great.
BOATMANS B58 HUSTLER IN 148th scale with lights
- Thread starter boatman
- Start date
Looking very menacing even in bright livery.
HI Jim thanks SIR yes them engines were a challenge but they got built ok in the end an yes that maskin seems to never end as very awkward
CHEERS JIM

AN HI Stefee yes she;s lookin sinstiter now but will look good when finished pity the real plane was only in service for 10 yrs AS she was the plane that broke all the rules as she was faster than they thought an could fly higher she could carry 5 nukes enough to end the world a chilling thought that thank goodness she was never used in anger

Your Hustler is really coming along nicely Chris, great paint work
HI JOE yes im pleased with how its coming on but this paint work is near sending me round the bend AAARRRRRCCCHHHHHHH AS ive been useing tamyia maskin tape then big low tack tape to cover all the parts of the plane where i dont want the paint to go but no when i removed the tape for the 5th time it had gotten again where i dont want it as on this old kit the panel lines are raised so the tape may lift slightly which it has done as when ive been fittin it ive used my thumb or finger nail to press it down tightly but due to this bloomin heat i think its losein off again oh boy but got it done so far just as well ive got plenty of patience now today ive got to mask again wonder how many times i will have to do this for the red paint which is more awkward around the cockpit an more to do than the white paint so by the days end i will be stressed to hell but its got to be done i just hope an pray the decals dont let me down as they look fairly good but will brush on this microsol luquid an hope for the best an cross everything lol
thanks sir for you reply an glad you are likeing my paint work so far
ATB to you SIR
