Hi every one.... an update..... tires decaling...... i decided to use the dacals that came with the kit.... so i startrd applaying two coats of Future Floor Finish as a primer and sealler..... decals works better on a shiny surfece.... and the Future seals the surfes......
then I used Micro Sol and a lot of patient to work the decals..... this is the final result..... now is to give some light coats of satin clear........
I will post more pics......
Up date......Wheels and chrome.....
I painted the wheels Scarlet Red from Vallejo paints......
this is almost done...... i added some valve stems,,,,,,
also i painted the brake drums......
i will post more pics........
Thanks everyone...... up date....... stripping chrome.....
then I rinced and let them dry on a paper towell.....
I prepared them for painting.......
I started with the wheels parts......
I will post more pics
this one's cam with the kit.....I know I saw on Google and company that makes some photoetch ones. I don't remember how make's them..... I will verify and get back to you......?
I don't mind this is the putty that I used.... is from Citadel.... is water base and is use for small gaps....
I applayed and with a damp coton swab i remouved the ecxes.......
I hope this will help.......
Hi everyone..... I noticed that in the instructions the seats have a barr that is for reinforcing the seatbelt.... so I made a set....
this is the idea......
I will post more pics.......
Thanks everyone.......update..... the seats..... so I painted the chairs using the interior color for the P-51 Green Zinc Chromate.... and painted the cushions like worn leather (the light didnt help).....
I got this seatbelts for the Ford....
I will post more pics.......
An update..... seat cushions.....
I cut it 4 pices of black styrine an glued in sets of two.... then sand it to shape......
Sanding is finish.......
also I'm going to use the leather technique...... so i used some Klenex and the water, glue an dishwashing soap mixture.......
this is half of the job..... now painting and detailing........
I will post more pics........
Thanks every one...... this is an update......
I tried to simulate a wooden aircraft joystick..... but I finished with a pistol handle.....
i sealed with this product..... is used to fix the aircrafts canopies....
looks like a glass coat........
One of the things that I love of this kit is that brings the bomber seats.... and the decals sheet have the markings like the ones used in WWII aircraft..... so my idea is paint the model like a fighter plain..... P-51 Mustang.... I got the color from the military modeling and some details.... I finish the shifter.... but I finished with a pistol handle.....so the pilots used to carry one...... this is the finish shifter...
I will post more pics..........
Thanks every one.... this are the picks for the doors. I needed to cut the doors panels to fit the doors.......
then i added some metal mesh to give some extra detail.......
I will post more pics........
