cobraman Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Airplane is perhaps better known by the name STORMOVIC. It is 1/48 scale and I do plan on building it in the winter scheme and with the skis. Will have a grey underside and a white top. I will put it on a snow covered base. Wanting to build something other than a car . Edited April 8, 2015 by cobraman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 ...Wanting to build something other than a car . I can relate to that. And a side effect is that it may renew your passion for car models in the process. Not to mention learning a TON of valuable techniques that you may not pick up doing cars. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hey guys, made a little progress on this kit. I have the cockpit interior pretty much done just some touch ups to do. I took some liberties with the colors that were called for as I did not have the exact ones. Hopefully they are close. No pinks or purples ! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Turnin' out good Ray! Man these Accurate Miniatures kits are da bomb for detail aint they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Detail is pretty good. I should be done in a couple days. Planes have never been an easy build for me and this one is no exception. I had trouble getting the wings to fit right and tight. Also painting the canopy is well, lets just say leaves a lot to be desired. I had considered not even showing pics when I am done but I will. It could be a good example of what not to do. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even dream of doing things the old fashioned way any more. http://www.bnamodelworld.com/montex/mon-k48149 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I tried BMF but that didn't really work all that well. I'll take the blame for sloppy work. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Make no mistake buddy Ray, what you're doin' looks good! I wasn't tryin' to make you feel bad, just trying to help out for next time. Edited April 7, 2015 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 No worries. Nothing make me feel bad. I have no illusions about the limits of my building abilities. A mans got to know his limitations. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ok, here it is for good or bad. (mostly bad ) Had not built a plane in awhile and had some problems as you can see. Did the best that I could and it is what it is as they say. I don't believe I will be building another plane anytime soon. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
