Thanks for the heads up Keith .......I think I will be leaving them off . Two more PE parts to add to the landing gear and it's painting time !

Primer is on !

Hi Terri – great to hear you're moving forward with this one – looking forward to see the result of your hard work

Best Regards

Mikael

Nicely done, Terri- looking great from the get-go! My, but this thing had a lot of instruments for the day! Wingnut kits are amazing- I may just have to order that Albatros!

Cheers-

Decals are on ! , dull coating and weathering to follow with final assembly and rigging !

Pic's up this weekend ...........

Chuck , you would not be disappointed .

Well done Terri.

I am rigging at the moment but have come to a halt with the wires between the small struts between the fuselage and upper wing. Any one got a clear diagram?

Warren

Tried here, it might cast a little light on the rigging

Thanks Keith.

It is another piece in the puzzle. I think I am letting AMS get to me and should just rig it how I think it should be rigged..

Sorry for hijacking your log Terri...

Cheers

No worries Warren It's all good !

Hi Guy's

Okay here is where the project stands . Dull cote is on and will start the weathering now .

I was able to remove the top cowl very carefully , I really wanted to have the engine displayed . How ever I did make a mess of the rsd to fuselage and could have done a much better job on her . Some of the decals did silver do to my own fault of not enough future layed down . For the PC shade I tried three different times to get it looking right , but I think it is to dark and should have lighten it with a little buff . Tamiya paints were used following WNW instructions excpt for the CDL which I used Guz sail colour ..........more to come in few days














Looks like i will get her done on time

I think it looks excellent. I am anxious to see how you rig it.

You certainly have given me inspiration to press on with my non-WNW build.

Ah – Terri, this is looking really nice, that wooden prop is superb. Really looking forward to the continuation of this project – glad you'll be able to finish too

All the best

Mikael

Sweet

Hi Terri:

This is coming along nicely. I am looking forward to seeing more photos and how you elect to rig it as well. Keep those photo's coming!

Best

Mark

Thanks Guy's for the encouragement .

Mikael , the prop is my favorite part of the build , turned out really well . I started with sparying Tamiya Desret yellow with a dry brushing of red brown . This was then giving a cote of Vallejo wookgrain ( trasnsp ) # 182 ( 70828 ) fellowed buy two cotes of Tamiya clear orange and sealed with one cote of future .

Well the rigging I will have to use with what I have on hand . I have some line which is braided but this is more suited for German aircraft in this scale . Only other stuff on hand is what I use for rigging my 72 / 48 scale kit's . I do have brass wire , but I think that over time this will sag for the tension and I don't want to go there . So we will see here on which way I will go ................

Go Terri Go.
You making a Gem out off this kit, really liked your Pc 12 style. Whats the mix?

Larsa

Thanks Lars , really can't give a mix for it . I tried what WNW suggested for the mix and that didn't turn out to well , not to good with ratio's you know . The second try ending up being to dark . Third try is what you see on the aircraft now . I just kept adding a little of xf-10 to the xf62 until I was happy with it . Still think it's to brown , but I happy with it .

Here is an up-date . Top wing is ready to be mounted , rigging lines in place

Sorry about the pic's . Not a good for me in this department .

Hoping to have this wrapped up by wednesday night .......

HI Terri:

I like your weathering, a nice touch and not overdone. Your PC-10 is about the same shade as mine, a little brown, but one can't be too dogmatic about PC-10! You're going to have a real barn burner there and a show stopper for sure.
Only Two days to go before the deadline! As Stephen would write: "Model On Please".

Mark

Go Terri, youre on the last lap now!!! This will be a stunner once its finished

Mikael

Thanks Mark and Mikael for the kind words towards the build .

excellent knews Terri, I'm looking forward to seeing this wrapped up...just in time for WNW to release the Pfalz

Okay the rigging is done and final touch up's . She is safely drying away for the cat and my hands .

Pic's up tomorrow night when I get home from work !
