Your going to make me blush[:I].
Thanks agian guys for all the great comments. Hope to have more soon.
That does look pretty awesome. I can’t wait to see more pics.
GREAT!!!
how did you get the buttons so clear?
Glade you like it.
This is probally one of the last steps I do to insure I dont touch the raised areas much. I take a very fine brush and dip straight out of the bottle and kinda just build it up. Kinda like working with yellows. Hope this helps, if not, just let me know.
I know you guys like pics, so here are some pics of seam repair.
Holy crap I need to get myself that kit!
I tell you what man, it has been a really great kit. No headachs yet, unlike the 109 I am working on as well. I find myself giong back to this one more than once.
Hey AKA,
I have to agree w/ you… The AM Avenger is a sweet lil kit. One question though, when you joined the fuselage, did you install the rear turret or did you leave it out?
If by chance you left it out(cant tell by pix), you will find it to be a little tough to put in place. I have not looked at one in a while but from I can remember, I think they tell you to leave out the turret until the halfs are joined. I did what they said and my Dad did it just the opposite… Laughs
I love what you have done to the office…
What markings are you going to put her in?? Looking forward to the updated pix and thanks fer sharing.
Flaps up,
Mike
Hey Butz, glad you like. They told me to install it befor joining the two. I think I should have left off the tail wheel though. Going to be fun to mask around that.
I could not find any after market decals for it so Im just going to use what it came with. Markings for President Bush’s TBF that he flew during the war. If you guys know where I might could find some different marking let me know.
Hey AKA,
I know that I have some AM decals at home for her… Let me see what I have and I’ll let you know and if ya want em, you’ve got em…
Flaps up,
Mike
I really appreciate that Butz, let me know what you have and I may consider it. I would really like that ones that have the arrow on the wing with the front cowling painted yellow.
