My latest completion: The B-58 Hustler! This was my first model build in years, and my first attempt with an airbrush. I got this kit as a gift sort of randomly from my brother for Christmas. I bought a Paasche VL and a Testors compressor the following week.   Painting the supports on the cockpit windshield was difficult. I had trouble getting the left wing USAF roundel to slide off, and it noticeably tore a little:  Once I got the feel for the airbrush, outlining and streaking panel lines became easier. I'm pretty satisfied with the results  :  I did end up losing one half of the smaller rear bombs that was supposed to go on the bomb rack.  With escape pod in foreground:  Any tips or constructive criticism would be helpful. I was thinking about heading out to the Strategic Air and Space Museum near where I live to take pictures of the real B-58 "Greased Lightning" for a comparison to the real thing. Here is my next project. I wanted to try something with a camo pattern I could get creative with, and I plan on painting this in Afrika Korps livery.

Nebakenezzer posted:Constructive criticism: You clearly know your way around paint. With this He-111, I'd make it a priority to work on sanding and filling cracks/erasing lines. Maybe you did this a bit already, but I can see where the engine pods go together, and where the upper and lower fuselage bits join. With some putty and some sanding, all of that stuff vanishes when the paint is applied. Thanks. I will keep this in mind for the Heinkel. Morgenthau posted:Whoa that's one nice Hustler. Is that the 1/48 one? If so, you have my jealousies. I've been looking for that one for quite a while with no luck. I believe hobbylinc.com has the exact same kit. http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/mon/mon855713.htm Good luck with yours!
