started the cockpit war very poor so i had to scrat it all just didnt did the lever and the center console:) the rest it was all changed

Looking good so far. What would have been in the crate?

supplies i guess in sweden where this plane was used too, they had Skiing Equipment 2 in the luggage.

made some upgrades to the instruments with mike decals i m now satisfied with them.

Your work looks very good! Great work!

A word of caution for this kit: You might want to sand off the engine mounting lug on the front bulkhead. It is not on center. If you glue the engine to it, the engine will be located noticeably to the port side of the aircraft. I found this out the hard way!

thank you mark i'll be aware of that when i go to the engine part.

Hi Ricardo

It's looking superb! You should definitely submit this as a Feature when it's completed!

All the best

hi rowan sorry but i dont know what you mean by submit it as a Feature, i'm a little bit noob and english its not my language, so if you could explain i would be glad.

ty all

Hi Ricardo

Don't worry, it's just our way of saying we should add you build to our Content section to show up on the Features page: https://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index

Submitting an article would highlight your build on the front page of Aeroscale and be more readily accessible in future, plus it stores the photos used in the article permanently and allows you to clear your gallery space (any pics in your forum thread would still disappear if you delete them though).

I do need to start a general drive to encourage more authors writing Features and Reviews, because we've got a lot of highly talented newcomers like yourself who aren't used to the system. I'll try to work on that, but if you've finished the build before I post a "How To..." please nag me with Private Message (PM) to talk you through submitting a Feature.

All the best

Rowan

after 3 months of not doing anything to it because of my work i decided to work on it a bit so i sanded all the putty and tried my new rosies so i made the rivets on the plane, it looks better but in the photos its hard to notice because they where took with the cell phone.

The rivets came out great . Your phone takes good pics good luck with the build Bob

Very nice!

made new improvements with dymo tape i hope you like it i do.

Metal finish what an headache



















next step tail paint job and then oil wash

You think your Metal finish was hard How long do you think it took to polish up this baby.
The P-35 trainer version at PoF Chino, CA

well if saw that first i would do it in chrome...lol, great polish

I really like what you got so far, especially the engine work, it really look's sweet.

I think you should try using aluminum powder for the natural metal finnish, you'd be amazed at how shiny it can be, and how it it reflect's light, wow! Unless you already know about it.
I just started using it and it really is awsome, I've never been able to get as close to real metal as this before. I think it would do that airplane justice to have it in the high polished look.

how do you apply it to the plane???
where can i buy it?

About halfway down the page, it's the SNJ polishing powder. What I do do is spray the the with white gloss enamel, black gloss enamel can also be used but I think it's too shiny, after the paint has dried to the touch, dip a cotton swab into the powder and rub it into the paint lightly, then buff it off! I dont have any pictures of my airplanes done with it yet but this does.

This is where I found about it, it is a bit of reading but worth it for the most part, and there pics in there. There are a few differant ways people are working with the powder, if you can get it, try it and see what works best for you........Check out the P-51B on page 3.
