Well, the twin engine bomber like Beaufort has A LOT of rivets. That means careful measuring, drawing measured lines with a pencil then driving the riveting wheel across all the lines and finally sanding it all down under water. If rivets still not clean, it may help to use Mr. Cement S glue and wipe the lines lightly with the brush moisten with the glue (not soaked just moisten or else you loose your hard earned rivets). Mistakes can be repaired with black CA glue.
Well, I decided to experiment with a little different style of my Scale models presentation: slide show of the photos in the form of 4K video. You can see the first vid here – my recently built Spitfire Mk. IIA. Please, let me know what do you think about this style of presentation? Would you like it or would you prefer static photos in my gallery?
Note: don’t forget to set the resolution of the vid to 4K (the default resolution of the attached vid is much lower)
I have just bought excellent engines from EDUARD and I am going to display at least one of them fully open:
… and some other stuff as well:
The kit looks very promising with crisp moulding, sharp lines but a lot of riveting is expected… Stay tuned, hopefully I will share my riveting work very soon.
P.S. I decided not to buy flaps nor wheel wells PE sheets from EDUARD because these areas are sufficiently presented in the kit and after all they are not very visible…
And as for the chosen colours, the early RAF desert camo with Sky underneath is my goal. Expect heavily weathered machine from Malta. One problem though – I have to get sprue F2 with tropical filters from the other ICM Beaufort kit…. Hope for support from ICM or some fellow modellers. Hey, if you have the ICM kit with trop filters and you are not going to use them, please let me know…. THX
