Re: Tamiya (Italeria) F-100D
Hi there. How ya'll doin?
I just about have the construction finished. And it is mostly all polished up and ready for my first layer of white before I do the bare metal layers. And seeing as to this point I believe it is a total of 14 parts, the build part went pretty fast



I put a set of home made seat belts that will be more than good enough when seen through the thick murkey canopy piece.

And a very basic instrument panel and gunsight that also will be more than enough for me through a closed canopy.

And just to give myself something to do, I decided to put about a bazillion rivets all over the thing. Thinking it will show up with the eventual shiney metal finish it will get


That is it for now. Next I will put the landing gear , wheels, and landing gear bay covers together and get them painted. Then do the paint job and after that, put the landing gear on. Then it is just the decals and I will be done. Hopefully I can do all that in about a week and a half or two weeks.
Gary

Looking good Gary.
How long did it take to do all the rivets? What paint are you using for the metal finish?

Re: Tamiya (Italeria) F-100D
Hi everyone:
John, I wasn't really to concerned with perfectly straight or anything like that, so it took me two nights with a new X-acto blade and the Led Zeppelin two disc set and it was done. And I am going to be using the Testors Model Master buffing aluminum plate and their burnt metal for the engine area.
And now I have it ready to put the metalizers on, then it will be a real quick buff out before a clear top coat and the decals. Then a real quick and dirty wash to pop all those rivets and it will be done.


I will be putting the metal colors on later this evening, and I hope to be able to put up some piccys to show if it worked or not
. We will see if it works, or if it is a total mess.

Re: Tamiya (Italeria) F-100D
Hi again everybody:
It is I think one of the very few things that is nice about living in south west Arizona. I can paint something and the paint goes from wet, to dry, to hard in about an hour and a half



And then after a first very preliminary buffing so I can handle it without having everything else I touch end up with a coat of silver fingerprints all over it



Tomorrow I should be able to seal this coat in and then mask for the burnt metal layer around the back end of the thing

OK, that only sounds fair. Specially seein as how this airomaplane flys faster than the speed of sound, and you wouldn't even hear it coming till it was already gone

That's looking very good Gary
You've inspired me to build some more wingy thingies with this.

Thank you everyone

I am going to put in about 3 or 4 hours on it and finish it tonight, just before midnight and the deadline

Re: Tamiya (Italeria) F-100D
Well it is after 12:00 midnight. But that is only because photobucket was being photobucket

I have actually finished it, and here it is.

This is the part that always worrys me. The bit where I have to start the weathering with a wash to highlight the seams and all those thousands of rivets that I did.

I should sometime clean up that white and black whatever it is on the end. Other than that, I am happy with it.


It looks nice being all finished


Gary
