Monogram 1/48 Lockheed P-80

Post by Impisi »

OK, so I start this here also.

It started some weeks ago with sanding of all raised panel lines and scribe some new one

Image

Image

I panted the pit so far

Image

closing the fuselage, well she's a bit stubborn,
Image

and after a lot of filling and sanding it now is black


Image
Image

as I always say - everything looks good in black ... but there are still some areas I have to take care of

Thanks for looking in

Cheers
Martin

That is coming along nicely!

Very nice! Good to know that I'm not the only one who rescribes raised panel lines.
