I would like to apologize for my absence and lack of comments on all your posts. I have loosely followed but have been bogged down with work and family. Little time for modeling the last six months with only one competition to speak of.
With that said, here is my next endeavor. I have wanted to build this kit for some years now. This is quite complicated with intricate strut and engine mounts.
Seven bags of resin goodies to fret over. All the parts are beautifully cast and detailed. The parts fit is excellent as expected from Choroszy.
One small imperfection is the two fuselage halves are slightly warped at the tail
A quick bath in very hot water softened the resin enough to bend into shape.
The fit is good enough now. I think the CA glue will hold it sufficiently.
The interior is nicely designed but I added a few more framing touches with Evergreen strip.
Next, after priming with Tamiya white, I sprayed the base wood color (Tamiya dark yellow acrylic).
Next , after it dried, I added a liberal covering of Windsor Newton burnt umber artist oil paint.
I?ll let it dry for an hour or two before I start removing the oil paint with a dry soft bristle brush.
Thanks for looking in!
Tim
