Konrad -Very nice Chris!
The pit looks very nice with all that details 👍! Looking forward to your progress on this one🙂
Chris VandegriftThx Konrad! I'll post some updates as i go. Working to have it done for BlizzCon Feb 5th so I have to get moving for sure.
Chris VandegriftMany thanks guys! It does feel daunting. Seems like i still have tons to do but been working on it for 2 months now 🙂
Konrad -Take your time Mate! Still one month to go😉! So I don't wanna create some pressure😉!
ISAAC GERSHMANGreat work!!!
I don't see any mention about the decals-how were the kit's ones?
or did you paint all the stuff?
Chris VandegriftIsaac it's all paint! Decals on the aluminum foil make it nearly impossible to hide the carrier film unfortunately.
Album info
From Eduard I've got the self-adhesive placards, slats, air brake, undercarriage, and wheel well sets.
For cockpit choice I've got both the Verlinden and the Aires sets to work from. The Aires set I picked up at Nationals a few years ago. last day, last hour and they had the whole table 50% off. Couldn't pass it up. The aires set has canopy and wheel well upgrades in addition to the engine details. It looks pretty good. Honestly I don't know which cockpit tub I'll go with as they both look crisp. Will have to check accuracy for my bird and make a decision.
That's a master Pitot tube in there along with the Zacto nose enhancement for a facelift.
Then lastly I was looking at all the Eduard pieces and just didn't like the fuselage PE they had. It all sticks off the surface too much. That's when I remembered seeing an email about Archer Fine Transfers announcing a new sheet. I used their hatches, hinges, and other resin bits on my T-38A and now they have redone the sheet at 1/2 the thickness of the original.
