Started building the cockpit. The molded in detail that will be replaced with PE was removed using a chisel and then sanded smooth. All the parts where primered in Ultimate black.
I then painted the cockpit in aluminium, followed by a couple of coats of chipping fluid.
The cockpit was painted green and then using a damp brush some of the paint where chipped off.
Finally I started to add all the PE.
I also managed to make a small mistake by throwing a cellulose thinner soaked piece of paper on the fuselage. Of coarse the kitchen roll melted into the plastic and removing panel lines and rivet details.
So instead of sanding it down and adding all the details I decided to cut the rear part off the second fuselage to use as a plug to cast a new rear part in resin. I used an oil based clay to cover the inside of the part, placed it in a box of Lego and poured in some silicone.
When the silicone had set I flipped it over, removed the clay, added a coat of clear and poured the second half of the mold.
Then it was just a matter of casting a new rear. The new part is one section longer then it needs to be so I could cut it off and make sure the joint was straight and with out any gaps. I added a sheet of plastic to the inside of the fuselage to strengthen the joint.
That is an unbelievable repair job - very impressive stuff
