Thank you guys! Especially for the photo-repair on this thread... greatly appreciated! Almost time for painting but I have another project in process and also... a fishing trip coming up on Wednesday! I haven't fished at all this year so I'm excited to finally get out again.

Good info on the cutters. Still haven't committed to buying a third pair... yet. The DSPIA ones look really nice.

Have fun fishing, John! It’s wonderful weather for fishing right now. Where are you headed?

Re small tools I am certain anything packaged so well is formidable when used. I will still take the Pepsi challenge with God Hands vs those pretty puppies any day.

Unfortunately with the vintage Hasegawa, most of the parts were already cut so I have not been able to showcase these cutters.

What happens next with G-6???

[jkim]

I have a date with my favorite lake... Barrett Lake in San Diego County.




The G-6 is just about ready for paint. I need to lay down a RLM 74/75/76 base camo down first.

Wowee! That’s a fishing spot. And what a great series of photos!!

I just bit the bullet and ordered a pair from Hobby Easy in HK. Also got a new DSPIAE drill set (0.3 to 1.2mm) for reasonable price.They are winging their way to us as we speak.

Please give us a close look when you get them. Curious minds want to know!

Incremental process on the G-6. The under surfaces of some of the wing parts were painted. First, I applied my customary black mottle preshading.



Then the Light Blue RLM 76 was applied. The blue is heavily thinned (about a 4:1 thinner to paint ratio) and slowly built up to allow a bit of the preshading to show through. This is a preview of how the airframe will be painted.

Thank you so much for your preview, John. This technique is one to explore and savor the great results under your modulated painting approach. Beautiful!

Yeah buddy! Great catch! Glad to see you had a nice time catching out there. That lake looks beautiful.

I do a little bass fishing myself. I also like fishing for reds. I fly fish for them, as well as using conventional gear. LOL I fool them any which way I can and when that doesn’t work, I feed them.
