Hallo Bernhard, das Projekt steht bei mir auch noch in Zukunft an - allerdings für die USS Enterprise und ich habe noch die Wolfpack folding wings. Ich bin mit dabei und lerne gerne wieder mit 😉

Dann aber Achtung Oliver. Iech wolte für meine F/A-18C auch ein Set Wolfpack Folding Wings nutzen, aber das Resin das die Koreaner nutzen schlinkt aber sehr. Es könnte so sein das die Flügel ziemlich klein ausfallen.

In the time I try to find my modeling desk again, you already built up and paited the whole cockpit and four seats and managed to close that dreadful combination of fuselage halfs and belly insert! Amazing! What's the trick with the small plastic pieces? Do you glue them on before glueing the fuselage parts or afterwards?
21 November 2017, 14:45
Bernhard Schrock
Thank you Patrick. Don't worry: In my opinion in comparison with my past modeling years and other mates I have very few time for modeling. This is the reason for different new und unusual methods and tricks.
The small plastic pieces (0,13mm thick) help to avoid "offset" between the fuselage halves and accelerating the drying time of the CA. Hold the part with the tip of a scalpel, put the underside in CA and place them on the seam. After few seconds it's strong and you have no offset. AFTER placing of all plastic pieces fill the remaining gap with CA: ready.
Yesterday evening I spent only 1 hour for sanding & cleaning the entire fuselage and restoring of the main panel lines.
I will post pics today evening.

Adam Gudynowski
Great job 👍
21 November 2017, 17:08
Oliver Zwiener
fill the remaining gap with CA: ready - what is the meaning of " CA " ?
22 November 2017, 05:12
Bart Goesaert
Cyano Acrylate glue, Nice work by the way, and not only with the seams...

Aren't you afraid that the hull will split open when you much pressure is applied?
22 November 2017, 05:29
Patrick Hagelstein
Looks good Bernhard!
22 November 2017, 05:49
Holger Kranich
Na da kommt ja jetzt wieder etwas, ganz nach meinem Geschmack!😉
22 November 2017, 11:07
Martin Oostrom
Thanks for the ca tip. But how do you remove the small pieces without too much trouble?
22 November 2017, 11:15
Bernhard Schrock
Bart:
no problem. On the inside I have plastic stripes as reinforcement too. The rear bulkhead of the cockpit tube I glued with a "fatt" blob of CA and microbaloons.
Martin:
with sharp scalpel (no11), 400 sandpaper and Tamiyas 1000 sanding pad. You can additionally bend the tip of the scalpel for better handling.

Is that ridge in picture 31 that noticable??? I can't remember that.
26 November 2017, 16:22
Patrick Hagelstein
There's a EA-6B gatekeeper at Tinker AFB. Let me know if you need any specific reference pictures!
26 November 2017, 16:23
Bernhard Schrock
Patric, thank you for the proposal. I have several books and publications from Squadron Signal and D&S.
The step (ridge) in very noticeable. The correction was no real complicated: I spend only a half of hour or so.
26 November 2017, 17:00
Patrick Hagelstein
Aha! Good! Do you have some before and after pictures so I can get a better understanding what to look out for?
26 November 2017, 17:54
Bernhard Schrock
🙁 I'm sorry: forgotten to shot a picture before correction🙁
26 November 2017, 20:51
Patrick Hagelstein
Can't you undo it then? 😉
26 November 2017, 20:59
Bernhard Schrock
Patrick: no problem. So I had to load the routine A6/125r into my 3D-printer. But at the moment the routines A6/146 (main gear bays) and A6/147 (nose hat) are processed. 🙂
27 November 2017, 08:04
Patrick Hagelstein
Are you seriously 3D printing your parts? 😉

Lovely stuff Bernhard

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you Mates.
Each ECM-pod needs a lot of power. Because of that each pod has an own wind driven generator. Kit parts for the propellers are designed very well and are so tiny that it is nearly impossible to hold them during cleanup. Because of that I first glued the propellers on the pods and cleaned them later.

Bernhard Schrock
3 of about 10 airbrush sessions completed: bottom side and topside of fuselage airbrushed.
5 December 2017, 20:13
Patrick Hagelstein
Man! Just not checking Scalemates for only one day and the Prowler is already primed and ready to be painted! 🙂 Amazing! It looks very good Bernhard!
5 December 2017, 20:54
Patrick Hagelstein
Correction: it IS painted!😉
5 December 2017, 20:55
Hanno Kleinecke
Oho, Do I spot some preshading ? 🙂
5 December 2017, 21:04
Bernhard Schrock
Jou: paint is "on". Tomorrow the rest of the upper side will be airbrushed. Hanno: you have good eyes. As usual with me it is post shading.

I love the coroguard color!

Oliver Zwiener
Unfassbar effizient - ich hätte jeweils vielmehr abmaskiert. Mit wieviel Bar wird hier denn lackiert ?
10 December 2017, 14:32
Bernhard Schrock
Moin Oliver. Danke für die Vorschusslorbeeren. Auf dem Bild ist der Zwischenschritt zu sehen: so habe ich nur die Rumpf Streifen lackiert. Anschließend habe ich die Papier/tapemasken abgemacht und die Umgebung für die Tragflächen-Walkways geschützt. War wohl zu faul, noch mehr Papier/Tapemasken zu basteln🙂
10 December 2017, 15:53
Bernhard Schrock
The biggest hurdle is taken: the windscreen is in place without CA fogging and remains clean and without blemishes after airbrushing.
10 December 2017, 20:28
Cuajete
Very nice, well done
13 December 2017, 20:42
Patrick Hagelstein
In picture 56 you mentioned the pilots windscreen deicing system & red light but what about the iconic refueling probe???
13 December 2017, 23:14
Bernhard Schrock
Patrick: you are right. "Where is the refuelling probe?" I have not forgotten them. I know myself well and know that the part would break off 5 times during the airbrushing and decaling.🙂 I will glue it at the end of the end assembly.
14 December 2017, 08:47
Spanjaard
Good policy! 🙂

Legs are looking great ! 0,4 mm Litze ? 🙂
19 December 2017, 20:13
Bernhard Schrock
🙂. You have good eyes Hanno: 0,5 Litze. Just in time received off white.
19 December 2017, 21:04
Oliver Zwiener
Litze hatte ich noch nie von gehört - meine Lernkurve steigt wieder an - danke dafür 🙂
20 December 2017, 05:32
Bernhard Schrock
Moin Oliver, Litze lässt sich besser an filigranen Bauteilen formen und ist nicht so widerspenstig wie Draht. Manchmal verwende ich 0,35 mm starken Lötdraht aber dieser ist empfindlich gegenüber zufälligen Biegen: 3 mal hin und hergebogen und ab ist er. Somit ist die Litze die beste Wahl. Gibt's z.B. für Eisenbahnbedarf.

Bernhard : lieben Dank für die links. Bis heute habe ich in der Tat dünnen Draht benutzt oder noch schlimmer Stecknadeln oder Büroklammern. Ich wünsche Dir noch gutes Gelingen auf der Zielgeraden 😉

Beautiful Bernhard, well done.

At first I thought the off white landing gear was very dark but once installed it looks fantastic!
22 December 2017, 12:45
Bernhard Schrock
Björn, Clifford and Patrick: thank you. Today I intend install the main gear. Pictures coming soon.
22 December 2017, 14:51
Bernhard Schrock
Patrick. You are right: it is not pure white but in fact very light grey (5% grey, off white). Many years ago I had a chance to learn a lot about colors, design and layout from the former editor of the German modeling magazine MF. One of his theories was that neither pure black nor pure white exist and look good in a model. Because of that the tires are painted with 80% gray. So you have a chance to dry brushing them AND washing with black (100% gray).

Murad ÖZER
Bernhard paint finish is spectacular, what brand are you using - don't tell me revell aqua? 😄 Merry xmas and a happy new year. 👍
22 December 2017, 14:59
Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks Bernard! I knew about the black/grey but the white is new to me.
22 December 2017, 15:06
Bernhard Schrock
Murad: im very glad to see you praise. From beginning I'm using only the Humbrol enamels. Sometimes I must use the blue paints of Revell because Humbrol offer no cobalt blue or similar blue shades. Lower side: H127, post shading with H127+33% H128.
Upper side H128, postshading with H128 + a bit of H126. Mottling with H129 (gull grey). Washing on entire surfaces with slightly toned up basic colors.
22 December 2017, 15:16
Murad ÖZER
ah that figures. for me enamels always have a special place in terms of surface finish, i only wish somebody could come up with an odorless version alas i guess the stink is what makes those paints act like this along with true cellulosic/lacquer paints afterall.

Even when you're done with that plane, keep the WIP going - it's just great! 🙂

Ich seh was Du meintest, wat für'n Fummelkram ! 🙂 Und auch noch von innen maskiert, super, hab ich so noch nie gesehen. 👍
29 December 2017, 11:18
Bernhard Schrock
Hmmmm, genau. Dazu hat Hasegawa, für mich "ohne Grund" das vordere Teil (jeweils rechts im Bild) zweigeteilt. M.E. Ist es kaum möglich, die zwei Teile zusammenzufügen ohne quer zu verschleifen und zu polieren (habe ich gemacht/ musste ich machen🙁 ) da war der Rest (Fummelkram) schon fast harmlos.
29 December 2017, 11:23

Just in time in the "old" year completed without hitch. 🙂🙂 "Better" pictures today.

What a great bird! But I guess you made a mistake and put it into the wrong category, since this model is for sure 1/32 !!! There are so many very nice and small and clean build details, this is not possible in 1/72 😮 UNGLAUBLICH!
