| CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 14-Mar-10 18:56 |  | | Views : 974 | | Here's about the best picture of the finished (except landing gear - we may never get to that) aircraft. The model is extensively thinned out on the inside with alot of extra wood taken out. The camoflage is Model Master Acrylic RLM 74,75,76 airbrushed on. The red for the band and spinner is Testors flat red enamel. The prop and cowling is Testors flat black. The underside of the cowl is Testors flat yellow. The cowl is painted with Design Master white floral spray and the black stripes are vinyl striping cut to shape. The model is covered in silkspan applied with a purple glue stick and the whole darn thing is oversprayed with a thin misting of Testors Dullcote. The Guillows decals had to go the way of the white buffalo, being to bright and sharp for my eye. I peeled them off and then photoopied them onto tissue paper glue sticked onto printer paper. I then cut the "tissuecals" out with and Exacto knife and attached them with a 30/70 white glue / water mix. The numeral "3" is cut out black domestic tissue as is the exhaust area aft of the cowl. |

The plan is to fly the ship but we'll see... I'm too afraid right now. You can also see that I attached the blisters too far back on the cowl. I think the only way to correct all these mistakes is to build another one. |
