Title: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on February 05, 2019, 11:02:38 AM: Over the past few months I have been building Revells new tooled Mustang in 32 scale . I added a bit of stuff to the pit and a few scratched details
For the wheel bay Eduards PE set was used and two months of detailing later results turned out pretty good . This is my first try at srcatch building and detailing . Totally different then 48 scale . Many parts had to be remade over a few times . It is far from being accurate . I used refs at home and the WWW .

Guyana bigger scales...

Thanks ! 3/4 of the kits I pick up last year are 32 scale . Don't buy much of 48 anymore . Failing eye sight and the large scale well ...it is fun !

I have finished adding the details to the landing gear legs and bomb/drop tank racks . I tried doing the brake lines using one piece but it didn't turn out that way . Each line has three sections .

Up next is some re-scribing and rivet details . The cowling panels have lots of rivet details but they didn't do the top cowling part ???? Why would they miss this . Easy fix :)

Will start with the gear doors first

Title: Re: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on February 14, 2019, 11:08:32 AM: Thanks Rick :) I'm slowly plugging away at it and just have a few areas to detail on the cowling panels and I think everything is ready for primer for the re-touch up of filling , sanding replacing detail again . Other then that it is going rather well . Should have an update over the long weekend .

That bottom view shows the wheel well detail beautifully, what a great job you've done there! My compliments, she's going to be an absolute beauty! Looking forward to seeing this one in the "Completed" section!

Post by: Alexis on April 24, 2019, 09:44:28 AM: Thanks Lance for the comments about my bottom ! :o ;)

I sprayed the white last night for the ID bands . The black is decal so hopefully my measurements are correct for the white . Clear coating tonight and should be able to start decaling tomorrow and have this wrap over the weekend .

Terri
Title: Re: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on April 24, 2019, 11:16:34 AM: Almost missed the black ID bands on the tail planes :o That is now corrected and clear coating under way :) I'm getting there !

Can you guess which scheme this is going to be ?

Title: Re: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on April 24, 2019, 11:08:30 PM: Close Lance , but I have done Pete II on Tamiya 32 scale kit . Cripes A Mighty it will be ;)

Title: Re: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on April 25, 2019, 12:33:28 PM: Well , was not expecting this part to go smoothly but in the end it turned out rather well . Next time I will mask and spray the black bands . Just save a lot time . I had to remove the star and bars from the under side of the wing because I got it in the wrong position , masking tape saved me .
Title: Re: What I have been up too
Post by: Alexis on April 26, 2019, 12:53:13 PM: Second round of decaling done . Now comes all the tiny little stencils which will take a few sessions .
