I found some time to get some paint on the interior. It's just a start, as I noticed some parts need some work.
I made my own interpretation of "Mitsubishi Interior Green" and tried some shading techniques. I slightly weathered the parts with some aquarell paint (water solveble)
The chipping was achieved by scratching the paint of the household alumium foil I used for the walkways. This was a first for me, though I like the achieved result.
I'll have to work a bit more precise and spent some extra time on sanding the scratch build parts.
Just a look of the fuselage;
And the actual parts. Mind I still have to build a lot of smaller parts. I just could not resist painting what I already had, due to the fantastic weather we had here yesterday. The highest temperatures ever recorded for a 7th of March... 19°C, is quiet unusual for this time of year
Sunshine all day long!!!
You will notice that it looks as if the right Pilots seat sits closer to the edge of the cockpit. I'll still need to clean the sidewall a bit. But I guess this is also a deffect in the actual Sanger part, which will be hard to correct. My scratchbuild floor and placement of these seat is pretty symetric, though, once inserted, the right side looks off...
I guess this comes with the terretory of building these kind of kits. The fuselage halves are not identical. Thus leaving the modeller with choiches to make on how to aproach this...
I already made the right seat a tad less wide then the left seat, but still...
I also visited the largest Plastic Model event held here in Belgium yesterday. A load of vendors and individuals selling their collections of unbuild kits.
One vendor was having a huge sale as he is retireing. So he's complete stock came with a 70% reduction...needles to say I spent some cash at his booth...
He had about the complete Quick Boost catalogue, though a lot was already gone, I still found some usefull things. Some WW2 radio faces in 1/48 from True Details, CMK cockpit stuff, etc...I had a full bag for € 22,- So, Yeah...I was pretty pleased.
I also bought a 2nd hand Italeri Re 2002 for € 10,- and a 1/72nd scale Ju 287 which I need for a 1/48th scratch build (which I will reveal in good time)
