This can't be missed! Great start RV! How was the resin fuselage fitting?

Thanks Elias. Fitting is not too bad, even if the resin tail is designed to the Tamiya kit. Had to thin a little bit the inner fuselage, and to dig inside the tail in order to plug the wheel bay. The horizontal stabilizers come from a Tamiya donor kit...

I'll join the show! The nice lady is a 3D print I guess?

@Thomas: yes, you're right, 3D print.

Oooh, this one I must follow! Why? Well for a starter it just happens to be my favourite Mustang of them all and I plan to do Passion Wagon in 1:32 later on. Is it your 3D print and if so would it be possible to print one for me as well scaled up to 1:32? I'll pay of course...

Many thanks Urban. I have bought the figure via Shapeways, and she is available on different scale. Here is a link :
shapeways.com/produc..8&li=marketplace
If 1/32 is not available, you can ask to the designer to up/downscale her...

Thanks mate! I need to think about it. I saw a lot of figures that have poses close to a lot of different nose arts.

Paintjob completed. Masking and painting the stripes was a challenging moment.

Thomas Bischoff
looks like you will mask the checkerboard? Very nice paint job 👍

Rv
@Thomas: thanks ! For the checkerboard, I'm going to play it on the easy way, using the beautiful decals provided by EagleCals...😉

Starting to apply the decals...

Decals look good! It's always nice to have an easy solution 🙂

Very nice work as always Rv... even if it is too big for my tastes... 🙂

nice job on those decals. the chequered one must not been easy....
10 May 2018, 07:58
Rv
Thanks mates !
@Spanjaard: yes, you're right,The cherckerboard decals had been quite a pain in the a.. to set. After several panic moments, (French) bad words, and minor adjustments made with a small brush,.. the result is correct.
10 May 2018, 11:41
Spanjaard
result is more than correct😉 pretty good indeed. i had similar fun with my P-51D, it had a very similar chequered decal... with a certain number of courses in maybe even different languages.... 😛

The good thing with being multilingual is having access to more words...

Continuing the decals stage... Using the EagleCals sheet, except for the pin-up, coming from the Kits-World sheet:

Working on the landing gear... preparing and detailing the SAC metal struts (I have broken one of the kit). The Brassin wheels are great, apart for a point: only 8 holes on the front face of the wheel flange, instead of 10 ! So, I have to cut, drill and sand the ones from Meng... PITA.
