BTW: I've been informed that Pactra is out of business and this tape is no longer made so I've stocked up. Tamiya masking tape is probably a good substitute but I haven't used it. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 09-Apr-15 04:47 Views : 524 The props were carved from hard 3/16" stock using the basic technique shown in the "how to" section under the main menu except that I used one piece instead of laminations. They were given one coat of dope, one coat of filler, and then two coats of dopw prior to painting. The tips were first painted pink, a color on hand so to speak, and then painted yellow. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 08-Apr-15 11:54 Views : 477 Trimmed to fit, it will now be glued inside the spinner and the blades should slide right into place. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 08-Apr-15 11:52 Views : 493 Strips of 3/16" stock frame a 3/16" opening. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 08-Apr-15 11:51 Views : 465 The spinner was cut from the Guillows P-40 400 kiit using scissors first and then a razor knife. Holes were punched using a standard 3/16" hole punch.

David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 06-Apr-15 06:23 Views : 497 A pattern of the fin flash is used to determine paint lines. Here the white and the red would show through. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 06-Apr-15 06:21 Views : 466 This is to insure that the color under the decal does not show through. Decals are thin and translucent so light colors do not cover dark colors. In this case the dark blue of the RAF roundel will cover the green but the red would not. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 04-Apr-15 04:02 Views : 498 These are quality peel and stick "decals" which I got for the Mosquito. The sheet has sizes for several scales. I'll use these RAF roundels on the fuselage. The test here is to see if the white is opaque enough to prevent the black from showing through.. It is. David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 03-Apr-15 02:52 Views : 470 I let the sheet dry for a couple of says and then did a test on foam board I've been using to paint on canvas with. Success!! The decals are now quite strong and can be handled with ease.That's comforting as I have three more Diels kits in the closet:-) David Duckett Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #29 Hawker Typhoon Mk 1B Build 03-Apr-15 02:46 Views : 450 Outside I sprayed on four coats of the clear gloss acrylic and allowed a drying time of at least 30 minutes between coats Page (7 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5   6   7  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
