    The engines are on. They are on the plane and it is looking good. I need to use a bit of filler and sand down the join lines, then re scribe the markings. But she has engines.


    This is what it would look like when the engine covers are off and on. Maybe put one on and one off.

    I did not do anything today just letting the putty harden, then i will sand her down and start re scribbling the panel lines. That's is going to be a tedious job, but it is worth it as it can make the model look better.

    So, the sanding went reasonably well. I have some before and after photos of the engine coverings.
    They filler was squadron a very good brand.


    This is before


    And after


    I started off with 400 grit sand paper and they i used 800 grit and finally 1000 grit to make the scratches less noticeable. I now have to re scribe.

    re scribing is a process by witch you use a sharp object to put back in the detail lines of the plane after you have sanded them off. This is a before shot of the top fuselage as you can see, the lines are practically gone.

    I managed to scribe the lines on my plane okayish. You need steady hands and a sharp blade.

    First off you need to mark the lines out where you are going to scribe, so you dont miss the mark.

    You also need a sharp scribbling knife.


    Before.


    After.

    And now for the canopy. I start by masking her off.


    Then with a sharp knife and steady hand i cut out the edges that i want to paint leaving the frames covered.

    The front nose of the plane is mostly glass and had to be masked off as well as the cockpit. Very tedious work, but it is done and ready for primer.
