Looking good so far, which kit is this.
If you use the rich formatting link bottom right, you will find the insert image link. Its takes a bit of getting used to.
Nice job so far! Cool pic, you could imagine looking down the fuselage as it is being built in the factory! Which kit is that? 1/48? Thanks for the pics! Keep them coming!
Eagle90
yeah its the 1/48
bish and eagle this kit is the revell.
eagle i didnt think of the picture like that haha
also im hoping to figure out the pre-shading.
wish me luck!
For what it’s worth, I wouldnt have painted on the deicer boots yet, those should be put on after paint is done.
The interior, your goona have a hard time with getting all of the interior in because your gonna have to scrape paint away from anything that will be glued. I use elmers glue, brushed onto where all the joins are gonna be, then spray the interior color, after all is dry, peel out the elmers glue.
Also, when posting pics from photobucket, just copy and paste the IMG code.
How does the fit look so far of all the major joins? Wings and fuselage.
And preshading is easy, I’m gonna assume your airbrushing so… Get all of you major assembly work done, windows and canopies on, masked etc. Spray the canpoy framing interior green (this next part is optional but its what I do, after the canopy is sprayed the interior color, I spray the entire exterior with aluminum, just one good even coat. Let sit a few hours) Next, put flat black in the airbrush, the just simply spray all the panel lines black. Then your read for the olive drab and neutral gray.
yeah i tend to jump ahead. but when i painted the de-icers i wasnt near my airbrush so i decided to paint it and get it outa the way to save flat black. and i use model master cement paint. and i put the cockpit in to see if i would need scraping and i wont need much done. and yes all the major parts fit except theres a nice size gap in the back. with the back wing and fuselage. and since im new and have other models i may take pics of my B-17G, that was way back when i didnt have airbrush… it was crazy hard, thankfully my dad let me use his for the wings, fuselage etc.
hey im about to put up pics of the cockpit. i feel like i did a good job on that. its detailed, i wish my white bottle opened and worked. i would of done more if that happened but i guess not. but even without it the white its good
From what I can see thats a good looking interior so far!
sorry for the crappy quality. i dont have a professional camera. just a ipod LOL but thanks
Dude…no worries. We all start somewhere. If I showed you some of my first when I started posting on here they look just the same.

My very first photo a year or so ago taken from my phone. Told ya!
