[MarkG]

Top stuff so far mate! Have I missed something or are the wings moulded in one piece??!

[Flyingmonster]

Cheers guys! I must admit I am rather enjoying this build so far...

BeerMonster the wings are all one piece. I will be moving onto them tomorrow night at some point. I will get a shot up for you to see them before hand mate

[MarkG]

Cheers bud,look forward to it but thought so..just unusual !!

[viper3111]

That is a really nice kit, I made one of these a couple of years ago. Will it be SOTB or will you bung in a few after markets?

[markmarples]

ok main paint on, the bottom went on well but the top did starange things and went marbley so ive re sprayed with a new bottle of the same paint and its come out well





so next is a clear (Klear) coat for some decals

i better start the canopy and under cart aswell!

[markmarples]

well ive had a go at the canopy

[GreenBat]

Ok, just a small update at this time as I am awaiting delivery of some fresh paints
I am building this model with the Flaps down, so I ordered some Paragon resin flaps from Hannats (very swift delivery )



Fitting of the resin flaps involved cutting away the original flap area and then simply glue in the new resin ones




That's all for now folks,
Cheers
Stuart

[garyscott]

Those flaps look pukka mate! watching this build with interest!

[Flyingmonster]

Evening all!!

I have done a wee bit more on my 160. I have installed the pit in to the bottom half of the Airframe and gor the rest of it all painted up. I am now at the stage where I am painting up the engines. I am also stuggling to find any ideas on the bomb paint scheme Any ideas would be greatfull!!

Here is a Few shots!





Beer Monster here is a shot of the wing. As you can see it is a one piece mould



The wings on the real Blackjack are variable swept... on the model you get no such luxury You have 3 pre set angles in which you can choose! Which do you think will look better...

Not Swept...



Part Way Swpet...



Fully Swept...



Answers on a postcard please Please let me knoe what you all think.

I will get some more done tomorrow. Im going to the pub tonight

[benyboy]

Looking good mate

I like the non swept look but I guess it depends on how much space you have

[Jonay]

Well this is going to be contribution to the competition, first build for about 36months and I'll be trying to incorporate various techniques that I've read about on here and over @ Britmodeller.

On with the pics:

[Flyingmonster]

Looks like a fiarly smart kit that mate!! Good luck and welcome to the Comp!

[Jonay]

Quite some detail on the inside Walls of the pit, now to try paint this and pick out detail!

Any tips?

[Flyingmonster]

I try and use 'Dry Brushing' with a wee bit of silver. It is really good for picking out the detail. You can always try and paint some of the switches or dials. When Dry brushing just be carefull that you dont over load the brush or it will just paint streaks... I always check out pictures of the tub to get an idea of what has been reproduced in the model and go from there. Hope that helps any other problems just ask and Im sure me and the other Modellers can help mate

[Jonay]

Quite some detail (to me!) on the inside of these cockpit walls, I'm going to try pic out as much details as possible, anyone got tips?
