cobraman Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Not normally a plane guy . Have not built one in a pretty long time ( not counting the 1/72 Gee Bee I built a couple months ago ). I got a renewed interest in planes since I visited an air and space museum around Christmas . This one I bought to try out some finishes before I tackle the 1:32 Tamiya P 51 Mustang . I know I may not do the best job with this but will give it a try . Lots of decals to do the Thunderbird version but it is a very sharp plane so..here we go ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Never was much into planes but after a visit to an air and space museum I got interested and bought a couple . This one is close to being finished . Decals have been a pain and they do not like Solveset . The two hardest will be the ones on the nose . Just doing the best I can . It was primed with Duplicolor and painted with Tamiya Gloss Aluminum . Tamiya clear before decals . Put some pellets in the nose so it would not be tail heavy . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbdolfans Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Hi, what did you use to mask the cockpit? How did you do it? I have a F-84C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Actually Mark I did not mask. I did it with a Chrome pen. It's really only so so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
