[peterairfix]

This will the last update for a bit as I want to take my time on this one.


The cockpit assembly is now finished. A bit of a fiddly affair but worth the trouble 

 

[Snowman]

Very nice kit!

 

[peterairfix]

I had a whole day free yesterday so I did nothing but kit bashing.


And as I will have all panels off i will also have the engine on show.


And here's the result of yesterday's work.


And everything seems to be going well at the moment with no problems to report

This looks like it's coming along very nicely. I've just noticed this thread but I'll stick around and watch this come together  :D

 

[peterairfix]

Time for a return for more work mainly around the engine mostly all pipes and the front radiator I am about a third of the way through this build but still looks nothing like a plane

I don't know, if you squint a bit..................But seriously, It's nice to see this one on the bench again.

As I seem to have a lot time on my hands I have decided to try and catch up so today i have finished the fix part of the lower wing and the gun bays and I will be having all the the panels off hence all the detail.

Hi Peter, looking very nice, I still need to build up the courage to start my Tiffy.
Just as a matter of interest, have you tried a black pin wash on the ammo belts? It really makes them pop and give some feel to the indevidual rounds

[T. van Vuuren]

Something like this. The pnwash also gives an "aged" look to the brass and copper of the ammo.My pix are of a 1/32 Mustprang, in 1/24 on those big 20mm's it will really pop

[peterairfix]

Thanks I will give it a go

To give you an update the body work is together and now looks like a aircraft I had problems with the cowling around the front radiator and has needed a ton of filler and I have add some wash to ammo belts
