Workbench
time in the last few days has been divided between more paint prep and a bit of
cockpit construction.
I
finally finished up all the detail bits on the French civilian Me-163 and have
it ready for a sealer coat of semi-gloss clear. This one will stand out in the
Komet lineup.
Similarly,
I’ve got the decaling done for Valom’s Mark 7 Thor nuclear bomb. It won’t get its
completed display until the transport cart (included in Valom’s kit) catches
up. But it needs a sealer coat.
The
masking is complete for the NMF area of the F-101B’s exhaust. A first coat will
be in White Aluminum, followed by some detailing in Alclad Exhaust Manifold.
And I
will have my first experiment with MR Paints when I hit the nuclear bomb’s
transport cart with a coat of Olive Drab.
In terms
of construction, I’ve got all the bits ready for paint for the Eurofighter
cockpit. This is Revell’s newest-tool version. Can’t say as I’ve seen much
difference so far, not including the mold deterioration that the RV4317 kit has
experienced. Next job is to paint and detail the cockpit, then seal up the
fuselage.
No photo
today, since I’ve already taken everything down to the garage (ie, the subterranean
paint shop dungeon). But I will have a paint report soon.
