Kyriakos VafiadisThank you my friends, one more orange Bell X-1. It is a quite easy model with nice details, pe and resin parts.

Ogre-TromboneI found some time to work on these kits, so here are some new photos. Thanks for following!

NicolasThe instruction isn't mentioning the stand at all. As the torpedo is under the COG I would try to fix it to the torpedo.
Very nice progres so far. 👍
22 September, 07:39
Ogre-TromboneLeaning that way, Nicolas. I don't like it, but that's probably what I'll need to do.

Mr DNice model 👌
Was the Devastator similar to the Dauntless??
Like the subject....will be watching 😃👍

Ogre-Trombone@Mr D, the Devastator was a pre-War torpedo bomber that was one of the most advanced aircraft of its time. Unfortunately. it was already obsolete at the start of the war. It was slow and underpowered, and early-War tactics left its crews extremely vulnerable.

SkyhikerThe Douglas TBD Devastator, was the U.S. Navy's main torpedo bomber. It was introduced in 1935, but was obsolete by 1939. They were replaced with the Grumman TBF Avenger.

Mr DThanks for the info
Ogre & Skyhiker 👍👍
I didn't know much about them, the pre-war yellow wings are smart scheme 👌
24 September, 19:20
Mr DBoth coming along really nicely now, the flap lines look a lot better now.
Looking like all the build updates.
Good luck with next steps 👌😁👍👍

Ogre-TromboneThanks, Mr D. I'm trying not to let the asymmetry bother me on the black-primed model. I wish I'd made a template or measured them instead of trying to follow the old panel lines. Still, I'm glad I made the effort.
Pure improvisation, Casey! It seems to be holding up so far. I want to do open or partially-opened canopies, so it didn't make sense to glue them in place, which is what I usually would have done.

Ogre-TromboneIt's very hot and dry where I am right now, and the paint isn't responding the way I'd like. I'll have to come back when conditions are better.
3 October, 03:32
Mr DLooks good 👌
Nice colours, the wing surface doesn't look to easy to mask.
Coming along nicely 👍👍

SkyhikerI'm impressed on how well you work even with those raised elements. They look fantastic.

Ogre-TromboneI've been using Microsol, Tamiya Mark Fit and Mark Fit strong in a makeshift rotation to get the roundels to settle in. My patience is generally being rewarded, but every time I reapply the old bubbles settle down but new ones seem to appear. Does anyone know if this is caused by a chemical reaction? They are settling in, eventually, but I suspect the solutions are both working and making more work for me at the same time.

Ogre-TromboneAside from a few finishing touches, like adding antenna wires and mounting them on their stands, these builds are finished. When I came back to the hobby a few years ago, these Devastator kits were among the first I bought. I have very fond memories of building the classic 1/48 Monogram kit, and I've always loved this airplane. I'm very happy with how they've turned out. I'll post some better photos later this week. Thanks for following!

Haro RotlWhat works for me with stubborn decals is a mixture of softener and decal glue. I apply softener on a piece of decal cutting (usually thrown away, but the water-soluble glue is on the entire sheet), stir the brush a bit, and then apply the mixture to the stubborn spots of the decal, having cut the bubble with a sharp blade before. Doesn't always work the first time, but work it does. (Decal glue is also separately available from Tamiya, I use that now.)

Haro RotlThis is a fascinating album, and a great result to your efforts!
I built the Airfix Devastator as one of my very first kits (i.e. some 50 years ago), but haven't had the heart to start another one since. Great to watch these grow, and the result!
30 October, 06:23
Ogre-TromboneThanks, Haro. That's a good tip. I tried Micro Set decal fixing solution, but I honestly think it's just a more dilluted version of Micro Sol and not really an adhesive. I'll try that next time.
30 October, 13:39
Mr DThey turned out great 👌 l like the peace time yellow colored one, they are both great, canopy's are done well.
Enjoy watching build 😁👍
30 October, 21:54
Casey BeckettGreat work! That old airfix CAN be brought to a nice build. You've inspired me to do another.
