Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Time to put some chipping on the black walkways. I just use a stiff-bristled paint brush dipped in water and start gently rubbing the brush back and forth on the black area. As the water soaks through the paint, it dissolves the hairspray layer and causes small fragments of paint to lift off the mod...

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thank you! Painting continues with black ID markings on fuselage and wing tips. I've used a 50/50 mix of Tamiya Nato Black and Tamiya Black. https://i.postimg.cc/B6YsyXBk/IMG-5897.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rsDcLMhm/IMG-5898.jpg I'm not sure you can see it but here is a glimpse of some of the texture ...

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thanks guys! The painting continues. In the process of masking off panels to paint in a different metallic shade, I found that the adhesive from the Post-Its I was using reacted with the AK Extreme Metal White Aluminum in certain areas. So I sprayed on a layer of clear gloss (Tamiya LP-9) and them b...

Very nice work on the engine mods! Must be nice to able to print those needed parts. Scratching up those tear drop distributors would be a pain.

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thanks guys! Seam work is one of those thankless jobs that we modelers have to deal with. It's important enough,from a presentation perspective, to spend a little extra time to make those noticeable joints disappear as much as possible. The brass flap inserts have been glued into place using extra t...

Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Canopy parts have been dipped in Future. https://i.postimg.cc/zvMwXNwB/IMG-5854.jpg Wings are glued onto the fuselage. Fit is pretty good except for the rear bottom joint, which will need attention. https://i.postimg.cc/hvhbBvd6/IMG-5855.jpg But the fit along the wing roots is good. https://i.postim...

Thank you so much Lyle! I've glued the gun inserts and the ailerons onto the wings. https://i.postimg.cc/13Nfs6vG/IMG-5847.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/YqPh58z2/IMG-5848.jpg The interior sides of the resin flaps and landing gear covers have been painted and weathered. https://i.postimg.cc/D0ZwDbWb/IMG-5...
