Made some progress on the cockpit parts over the past few days ;)

Nice start Terri! Your interior bits are looking great!

........as the Bishop said to the actress......

Thanks for tagging along guys :)
Haven't made much progress over the week but the weathering is pretty much done now . Seatbelts remain and will get their weathering once installed . These are per-painted and I know the paint will crack and flake off ending in me having to repaint them . I didn't use the PE side panel detail . It sucks ...Tamiya is still far better , but I did use the instrument panel , seatbelts , rudder petals and a few smaller items .

The inners are done ! Fuselage halves are now button up and set a side to try . On on with the wings ...

Nicely done, Terri. The office looks good.

Excellent interior work Terri! Like always I am following along!
RAGIII

Thanks Rick !
Spent a bit of time sanding and test fitting the wheel bay . I have read many build logs on guys saying that this resin part doesn't fit . To much plastic has to be removed , throws out the dildrail making the wing straight . Well I didn't seem to have any of these issues fitting this part . Once everything is finally glued up , perfect fit ! No overly thing the plastic and the wings retained their dildrail or how ever it is spelt .

-
The othe wheel bay parts to fit and paint up .
-
Rest of the parts for the wheel bay have been added and the base colour applied , now off to the detail painting and there is a fair amount to do .
-
:) Looks good, Terri!
-
Thanks ken :)
Terri
-
Looking Fantastic T!
RAGIII
-
That vector wheel bay is a thing of beauty. This is going to be amazing with all the added detail.
-
Thanks Rick and Richie . No progress on her this past weekend . Was focused on the Lloyd .
Terri
-
Continuing to look Great T!
RAGIII

Wheel wells are painted up and the lower wing is now fix in place for good . Just a few very small spots need filling .
Terri
-
Progress has really slowed down on this one but I do have the canopy in place and ready for masking and I also got the spinner drilled and test fitted . Getting very close on starting the paint job :)
Terri
-
I'm glad to see you back on this one.
I'm taking a diversion from WW1 myself at the moment - with a AMT 1/48 A-20 Havoc. It's proving to be a challenge!
-
Thanks Ken , this one while take a bit of time ....lost my mojo for now . But she will get finished .
Terri
-
Nice looking Mustang Terri! I am looking forward to the paint job!
RAGIII
-
This one is back on the bench . With the P38 being olive drab good time to get this done as well . Just the canopy needs masking , rest is paint and the finish line .
Alexis
-
Looking forward to seeing this when it has passed the finish line.
Stephen.

Nice to see this coming back. Looking forward to next updates and completed models. Thumbs up.

Giuseppe

Thanks guys :)
Goal for today is start masking the canopy up
Alexis
-
Okay , so it ended up taking me 5 days to finish the masking and get the interior Green sprayed . I will let this dry for a fews before primer is applied . Don't want any paint cracks forming later . Will be using Tamiya for this , just not sure if will use their lacquer line or stay with their acrylics .
Alexis
-
We are now primed and ready for shading !
Alexis
-
:)
-
Also have the tips of the prop blades with their coat of yellow paint .
-
Main camo colours are now sprayed , I do have a bit of over spray to touch up with grey , An easy fix . For the underside I did the base camo using Tamiya neutral grey . followed by pershading of a slightly darker grey with an over spray of thinned Tamiya neutral grey slowing building up the layers . Top side was per-shaded using Mr.Hobby OD shadow ( very dark OD ) followed by OD #2 . This will get highlighted using OD highlight #1 .
Alexis

Excellent results Alexis!
RAGIII
-
Thanks Rick , Highlights are sprayed and is now drying ;)
Alexis
-
Nice tonal variations in the OD. The wheel wells look sufficiently busy and just awesome.
I'm sure the highlights will add to the illusion of reality.
-
Looks like every thing dried nicely over night so I sprayed the white band on the nose and since the spinner was feeling all so alone , it get dressed in white as well . Prop blades are set for clear coating and decaling . Tail planes aren't glued yet , just place so they didn't feel left out of the photo opp ! Few spots to touch up and some detail painting and then it's off to clear coat for the decals .

Nice results Alexis!

I do like what you’ve done Alexis :)
Yet another kit on my list to go in the fabled cabinet :D
Guy

Thanks for drop by Guy and for the kind comment :)
You might have to add more then just one ;)
Alexis
-
Everything is now ready for clear coating !
Alexis

Giddy-up, cowgirl!
-
Thanks Ken :)
Alexis
-
Made a start on the decals with tomorrow being round 2 for the rest . This is a mixture of the kit decals and from the spare box . The white bands on the wings will need touch up they won't fit right on the leading edge and they are cracking as well .
Alexis

Excellent work, Alexis. The Mustang has taken on quite a dramatic look with the addition of the markings. Shaping up beautifully!
Cheers,
Gary
-
I find the US WW2 olive drab schemes rather dull, but with the additional markings they become much more interesting. It seems that you are bringing both projects to successful conclusions in parallel - good idea as they have similar colour schemes.
Stephen.

Thanks Gary and Stephen ,
I'm shooting for having this one done by the end of the weekend , all most done with the decaling now ....
Alexis
-
Lovely Mustang Alexis!
RAGIII
-
Thanks Rick ,
Rest of the decals or now and everything has been sealed and set a side to dry overnight ...weathering starts tomorrow !
Alexis
-
Lovely, and now back yo your P-38.
Ed

Spent the day sitting on my tussie listening to Eis Brecher new album which I got for my birthday on the 19th ! Already listen to it 7 times !
Weathering is finished on all the parts and it all got sealed with assembly underway . Not much let now , which I should have this finished up maybe tomorrow .

Very neat build all around, Alexis.
-
Thanks Prze !
Alexis
-
That’s looking beautiful Alexis! ;D
Really like it.
Will have to check out that album, always looking for new stuff (down with the kids... :D )
Probably a bit niche, but I can’t stop listening to Fionn Regan ;)
Guy
-
Great pony!! Happy belated birthday - not Rammstein?
Steve
-
Thanks Guy and Steve for the positive comments :)
Must admit Guy , never heard of Fionn Regan . Not sure you will like the type of music I listen to . 98% of my music is all German bands . New German Hardness , Metal , Rock , folk Metal , Folk Rock , etc ...etc ... Other 2% is Canadian Bands , Our Lady Peace , Mathew Good Band , Rush , Tragically Hip :)
Steve , I do have all of Rammstein's albums ;)
Alexis
-
Have to admit - Buckethead is my go to work music. He shreds but is melodic too. Hold me Forever is a great tune.
Steve
-
Looks awesome with the markings applied Alexis! Terrific work!!
RAGIII
-
This really does look good Alexis, the more so with the markings and weathering. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
Stephen.
-
Beautiful painting and finishing. Looking forward to the completed models section.

Thanks guys :)
Steve , I never heard of Buckethead either so went and looked him up and see why they call him buckethead !!!
Got the rest of her done this afternoon and is resting nicely with my other Mustangs .
