Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
I must remember this for future reference. Excellent day in the JKim classroom today
Re: Eduard 1/48 Hawker Tempest II
Thanks guys!
A flat coat has been applied. Actually, a satin finish... 50/50 mix of Model Master Acryl Flat and Alclad Aqua Gloss.
The discoloration on the fuselage is still discernable but knocked down enough where I can pass it off as weathering.
I've started some post-shading on the bottom. A watery mix of black/brown along the panel lines and aft of the exhausts.

A little bit more post-shading done including exhaust stains.

The subtle shading is great

Thanks Johnny!
Now it is just a matter of gluing on the last bits and pieces. First, the landing gear...
The wheels are added next. The brass tube axle lets the tail wheel turn freely so flat spot is aligned easily. The Barracuda resin main wheels are attached using JB Weld Kwikweld 2-part epoxy. This starts to harden in minutes so it gives me time to align the flat spots properly when resting the model on a sheet of glass.
After the wheels are set, the landing gear covers are attached.
The Eduard resin flaps are glued in next. Unfortunately, the port flap cracked during the placement process.
She's almost finished. Just a few more bits to add including the rockets. The next update will feature the completed model.

Man that looks fantastic!
