Looking great!

Well, I wasn't able to get it in under the wire so let's try and finish it up here!
Started out last evening by masking the upper and lower wings so I can paint them silver.
Why, on the original wing had flat tubular water radiators smoothly faired into the wings, like all the other Italian racers at the time. You can see the colour difference in this original pic again.
so, I wanted to try and show that with the decals supplied
decal applied (these worked really well)!
close up
I also had to touch up a few areas on the fuselage with some sanding and then had to paint it red again
plus, painted the work horses and the exhaust outlets.
This is where i left off last night
and here is what she looks like at the moment
All that is left is the wind screen, a gloss coat, a few touch up points and a little bit of a wash to highlight a few panel lines.
Looking great!

thanks Christian!
I like how they look. I think the only way they could be improved would be if there was a little detail under the radiator tubes.

Didn't have much left to finish on this one.
One of my big issues was the glass. The kit gives a template and a small clear plastic sheet, trouble is the real machine had a tiny little window in front so it will need to be modified!
You can see it in these pictures, it rises up a bit from the overall profile of the plane.
I tried making a paper template first to give me an idea how much larger the new glass would need to be...
Then cut out a new one, while just scribing the bend areas with a new blade so that they can bend in shape.
Then I mixed a drop of Model Master semi gloss black in with some Guard"s Red, some thinner and a drop or two of dish soap for a slightly darker red wash for the panel lines. forgot to grab an image though.

That is so wickedly saucy! Great job Warren, she looks great. Post it up on the completed thread and I'll hook you up with the Checkered Flag.
