| Another masterpiece. Museum quality. How about a little face in a window? |

| Those cannot be Guillows wheels....or are they? Nice, very nice! |

| Thanks. Again, job well done. |

| In this case all the letters and numbers are decals from various Guillows kits. The ones on the fuselage came from kit #902 Bird Dog, those on the wings are from kit #905 Mustang, and the small rescue under the cockpit window is from kit #904 Skyraider. The other red stripes and the white one on the wings came from the Italieri A 20 plastic kit which gave me the nosewheels for the B 29 and the tailwheel for the Typhoon. The two black circles on the wing are from the Guillows Corsair and the red dot was made from an extra British roundel and a hole punch. The black stripe above the windows is 1/8" striping tape made by Great Planes. Other black striping is done with Chartpak 1/64" and 1/32" tape. All decals were sprayed with clear acrylic " satin" spray. Oh, and yes the wing does just glue on. |

| If I recall correctly, David does all his "marking" by hand, making stencils and painting them on.

| Really like the detailing. Are the letter markings dry rub off or stenciled or what? Wing attachments, straight glue ups? Com'on give it up......... |

| This is 1/8" PACTRA masking tape, sorta pricey but good. |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 2766 | 22 Apr 07 20:50 |
| Is that ordinary masking tape on the windows? |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 2781 | 22 Apr 07 14:30 |
| This is paper from the kit. It's also a hint on how to cover curving tapered surfaces. |

| Nice detail. What did you use for the exhaust gills? On the Zero I used very thin styrene. |

Rudder & elevators painted silver and detailed with 1/32" and 1/64" tape. |

The tape above the windows is temporary. |

A pencil line first then glue each small section at a time |

| Suoer job! I can almost hear the props a hummin! |

| Actually, now that you have some time off, I'm really looking forward to seeing some photos of your first encounter with SGM Grade silkspan. I know what this looks like and the progress from here on will be small increments at a time and not nearly as interesting as what you're doing with that BUFF 24, ( BUFF is what the crews called them, Big Ugly Fat F...... ) Fellows. |
