Snake PlisskenRight, the Bluesmobile is as you say and easily verified in mere seconds. Thanks. The '74 is a better looking car in my opinion with a more pleasing horizontal layout of the headlights making a big difference.

MrblisterThanks for the kiind comments. Didn't photograph the build progress. The bomb rack was a problem. I didn't follow the airfix instructions as the loadout doesn't fit if you do. The wings were assembled and painted prior to fitting, but the spars needed a fair bit of sanding to get a good fit, maybe it was me. Shall add more photos later

FridayAgainThank you, I always have trouble with pictures on here, hard to get the teasers to fit into frame and they always end up doing some weird placement, I suppose I could try editing it.

Ingmar StöhrNice progress so far! Overall nice paintjob, but maybe try to use a little less paint on the railings. I see a lot of small paint balls forming there.
11 November 2024, 19:49
ChrissweThanks for your interest and comments. I did something wrong with the primer when painting the railings which caused the paint balls. Also I'm not great at working with PE yet and the glue residue is often visible even if try to paint over it. All in all I still think I'm making some improvements compared to my last build. Rigging will be my greatest challenge for this build.
11 November 2024, 20:41
Ingmar StöhrAh, ok! Well yes, your glue is visible here an there, but otherwise I find your application of PE is not bad at all! What works for me with railings is to hold them in place with one hand (and tweezers) and with the other hand apply a tiny amount of very thin super glue from a piece of thin copper wire fixed to a toothpick as handle. This will instantly wick into the gap and also instantly fix the railing in place. After that I paint over the seam with the appropriate colour and mostly end up with very nice glue joints.
12 November 2024, 05:43
ChrissweThat is probably the correct way to do it Ingmar. I find it difficult to only use the thin super glue as it has zero adhesive effect until it bonds. I use super glue gel to fix one end of the railing and then use your method for the rest.
12 November 2024, 08:55
ChrissweI'm testing a grey-brown panel liner instead of the black one I used for all of my last ship. It looks good closeup but might be to subtle when you look at the whole ship. Is it a bad idea to use anything else than black panel liner even on lighter colours when doing 1:350 scale?
12 November 2024, 09:24
Ingmar StöhrActually super glue should set / cure / stick faster the thinner it is. A gel does lengthen the setting time. I start at one side, place the railing, put a tiny bit of thin super glue at the joint and it will typically set withing 2-3 seconds. Then I move a bit further down, align the PE, put glue there and so on. What also increases the setting time is a larger gap. If the gap ist very small and the glue very thin it will usually literally set instantly.
I like my wash with a lot of contrast. On my modern US Navy builds (kind of a medium gray) I will use blue-black panel line wash from AMIG. On a lighter gray, as with the superstructure on DKM units, that might be a bit to much contrast though.
12 November 2024, 09:47
ChrissweI will try to master the thin super glue but I think the sticky property of the gel before it cures is very helpful. I can still use gel when gluing where it will not be visible at all.
Another thing I have done differently with this build is to just base paint the details and railings before I attach them to the superstructure and hulI. I will gloss coat, weather, matt coat and oil highlight the superstructure mostly built together but excluding the masts and funnels. I will do the same thing with the hull with everything added except main guns.
I noticed the super glue attacks the paint much more than when everything was already gloss and matt coated before gluing but maybe the end result will be better.
12 November 2024, 16:28
Ingmar StöhrStrange. I never have noticed my glue attacking or damaging the painted surfaces. Usually, I build my ships in sections which get painted separately before final assembly. Also, I always airbrush my railing before gluing it to the model. There will be scratches from tweezers, but for me it is much easier to make some touch-ups than to brush paint the whole railing on the ship.
12 November 2024, 18:39
ChrissweCould the glue react differently because I use Mr Hobby Lacquer paint this time and Tamiya Acrylic paint for my last build?
13 November 2024, 17:33
Ingmar StöhrHm, I don't know. I basically never use lacquer paint. I only work with acrylic colors - for the normal painting stage. The only 'reaction' I see is that the glue makes a matte surface glossy and therefore changes the shade of the color a bit.
13 November 2024, 20:11
ChrissweShip is done except rigging. I don't know if I have the skill to do rigging but I will try. Is it really safe to spray super glue acellerator/activator over the model when doing rigging?

Jean-Baptiste XEMYes, stripes are realized with kit decals, decal quality is very good and they take easily fuselage shape (Use of softener is limited). The only recommendation for decal application is maybe to cut the upper fuselage decal in two or three parts.
Compare to painting scheme of the kit, I painted the vertical stabilizer in very light gray and I tried to darken the top of the fuselage

VicenteThank you all! Yes, it's based on a real story. As you can see in the description, Luis Puga was shot down by a harrier and survived 8+ hours and some days in the ground with freezing temperatures until he was found. I was able to meet Puga, a real knight of the air!
