Revell Constellation redux

[Wurger]

Looking good.

[Trebor]

thanks, Wojtek! the thing that irritates me about this kit, tho is that 1: the fuselage halves don't go together too well, so I'd have to fight with it, and 2....there are no cockpit window decals, so I'd have to individually paint each window. it's a PITA @_@

[Wurger]

There isn't a kit of that all pieces fit perfectly, Rob. But you have done a nice work so far.

Concerning the Lufthansa "uniform" Do you mean the one?

[Trebor]

yup, that's the very one, Wojtek. she's gonna be one sexy girl when she's finished!

[Wurger]

So it shouldn't be a problem to make a such painting around cockpit windows etc... if you don't have decals for that.

[Wurger]

Here you are two shots of the German Connie that can be useful for making masking.

[Trebor]

thanks, buddy. but the instruction sheet has the same info you provided

[Wurger]

You'r welcome Rob. But what is the problem with these cockpit windows? I might have understood you incorrectly, I'm afraid.

[Airframes]

Isn't there a transparent part for the cockpit?

[javlin]

Oh boy... just dip a toothpick into the stuff and then apply it inside the "window" (hole). Touch it to all four sides while swirling it around and pull out the toothpick.

just stick a GD toothpic in the dam window it's nice to laugh early in the morning Thks Wotjek and Rob

[Wurger]

It seems you are alone at home Kevin. An interesting interpretation of words.

[Trebor]

the cockpit part is already clear. but I choose to paint over it, because to me, it's better than trying to cut teeny bits of masking tape to fit over the windows.

[Wurger]

I see now.

pic 1: top of the fuselage and wing tanks masked off, gloss black undercoat applied for a coat of polished aluminum

pic 2: the two other tails re-attached....she looks like a constellation again!
