Lucas Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hy guys, This is my just finished job, The kit is few simple, with some simple steps it is ready to stand, but I like a lot the Avenger with the wings folded, so I must to make some scratch an build the "little bird" like this, I use a PE saw to cut away the wings and elevator, on interior I make some resin copies to some cockpit interior. Just some interior details Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMan Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 WOW, that is some tiny scratchbuilding! Fantastic work! That would look awesome on a 1/144 scale aircraft carrier. That is if they make one that scale! Great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Your Avenger turned out great. Painting the canopy must have cost you some nerves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Your Avenger turned out great. Painting the canopy must have cost you some nerves. :lol: Thanks :D To paint the canopy was quite simple: The frames are so tinny, so its almost impossible to mask and paint then (maybe a Tibetan Monk could make this :D ) So I decided to make some decals to the frame Started with a plain decal sheet, Aplied a coat of clear varnish, and after the interior green, to make the interior color frames After that dries (about 24h) I aplied the navy blue , the exterior color of the frames With a help of a Gillette blades (that cut much better than a bistouri blade) I make some small strips, with MicroSol, by Microescale I aplied it to the canopy frames Here is possible to se the color difference between the exterior/interior Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChristopherC Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Excellent work on your Avenger! I like your method for the canopy. What was the detail and fit of the kit like? Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Excellent work on your Avenger! I like your method for the canopy. What was the detail and fit of the kit like?Chris Thanks, The kit is too much poor on details, the engine and the interior cockpit, are all made by scratch, with te seats and engine made by coping some other models from sweet. If you build it rifgt out of the box, the detais are not too much good. (take a look at the sprues on first pic) cheers, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
