SPA Modeler

Summer arrived and it's hard to seat into workbench (or in the kitchen) and paint/glue something

Heres few updates

Finished to repaint tail



Gears almost finished







Started to highlight the dark green







That's all for now, at the next

Too hot, too hot!!

the second main gear glued today , the first two days ago i glued. The main wheels weighted because only the rear gears touch the ground during cargo operations







Now left to paint silver parts to complete these gears

At the next

But you're making good progress Those landing gear really look great.

Looks great bur weaks.. Just studying with other modeller friends (into Italian forum, the only other where I put the gigant wip ) how to turn the gears stronger to be capable to tollerate the gigant weight for more than few minutes
It's clear that these gears can't support the weight with an oob build, pins and gluing surfaces are too weak

Summer hotness Is (i hope so..) gone.. so i can go back into suspended more impegnative projects.. suspect tha the gigant is one of them

So, in two session two layers of glossy coat on the upper wings and tail surfaces , flaps and front nose doors , and the first one in lots of other pieces











next strike tomorrow!!

PS i fear that he need tree layers of glossy to win with decals

What size brush do you use for such a large plane? I like the motteling.

Giant Gigant!
