A nice clean looking start on the engine. What paints are you using? Will you be weathering it too?

Cheers,

Chris

I sprayed on Tamiya Aluminium to begin with, and the cylinders
are Tamiya Semi gloss black, sprayed also. Then all the small
parts wil be brushed. I will be weathering it a bit with the usual
oil streaks and bits of grime, but subtly, as if the engine was
reasonably new.

Cheers

The weekends work . . . Getting there.

cowlings on. Dont know yet

I just bought the CMR Resin DH9a in 1:72 which includes these pics. It's a lovely kit and I'm looking forward to getting started....

This is how the Liberty will be displayed.
Beside the aircraft, with its cowling on.

Cheers Bud
I thought about cutting away all the cowlings, but even then
you would'nt really see much of the engine, so I saw a pic
of some guy standing next to one on a wooden trolley (circe 1917 ish)
So I can do the Ninack in all its glory with everything fitted.

Cheers

Dave

Great idea Dave, did you scratch the trolley together?

Hi

The trolley is made from wooden lolly sticks, and then painted.
Seemed easier than plastic. Bit fiddly though.

Small update


Cheers

It's very effective Dave and well worth the fiddle!

Are the castor's scratched as well?
