Hi Lee
Impressed :thumb2: Hope you get the canopy sorted.
Jim

 

[Lee Drennen]

Jim thanks I’ve ordered the Hobby Boss Version and I plan on using some parts off of it hopefully I can get the canopy to work

 

[Lee Drennen]

While waiting for more parts I detailed the engine with a Graphite pencil to give it a natural metal look and took the pencil and ran around the front end of the fuselage to give it a little more detail enjoy the pics

That is looking very good Lee.

Evening or goodmornig Lee .

Nice touch with the pencil, really adds to the engine detail .
John.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Papa. Thank you I was very surprised at the results. I may have to build another old Revell kit I have

John. Thanks and its good morning for me. I owe the pencil trick to all you who build military models I have learned a lot. Building to me is more than a art now than modeling I take more pride in it. I never thought this little plane would look like this.

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice work Lee. Hopefully the canopy will get sorted soon

 

[Jim R]

Hi Lee
Engine looks good.
Jim

 

[Lee Drennen]

Steve thank you and I hope it does if no oh boy

Jim thank you it’s amazing what a pencil can do.

Here’s a update on this little guy I’ve Neglected it for quite some time so here’s a small update. I used a Hobby Boss canopy because the one in the kit was so damaged I also will be using some of the decals from the kit.View attachment 321558View attachment 321559View attachment 321560View attachment 321561View attachment 321562

Nice update Lee. You are getting there slowly but surely. Great stuff:thumb2:

Thanks Steve
It’s been a fun build hope to finish by the end of the week so I can move on to the next Golden Oldie I have planned

These builds get lost in all the postings, so It was good to see it again .
Certainly looks good to me, great job.
John?

Hi Lee
Very pleased to see this moving ahead. Glad the Hobby boss canopy has fitted ok. You have made a cracking job of this. Almost there and another Golden Oldie coming soon for you to beat into submission.
