HI ,its one to my next model. Fantastic Plastic Colonial One. This model a about 10" long when done,and is roto cast so i could be lit if one wanted to do that , which would be bad doing the main body but the head piece would be difficult to do so that's why I'm skipping lighting this one. How ever any ideas on what to do with the windows as far as making them look lit would be appreciated.
BTW :the 1st thing I noticed about this kit is that the windows along the front edges are round and not square so that's the 1st thing that I'm fixing.
Here's some pictures of what you get.

The next thing that i fixed was the cockpit windows on the front nose, it was to small and the wrong shape so i fixed it. I also scribed some more panel lines in it.

OK got some progress today. I glued the bridge onto the body And the engines to the back and scribed some panel lines. Had to use quite a bit of filler seeing that the bridge don't fit like i wanted it to but i think when I'm done it will look pretty good.

Well I got the main body done and ready for prime & paint. Trying to put as much detail in as possible seeing that the cast wasn't the best ,I also scribed in the panel lines as well.

Well today i got the solid pug in the bottom so i have to drill in to seeing that its hollow cast and i also worked on the external engines and the engine flaps which is a 2 piece assembly that i thought was pretty cool.

Here's some more progress shots from yesterday. Had to strip off the primer off the main body it cracked ,been redone and a couple coats of primer and a couple of color and taped up for the blue.
Also got painted the lower external engines painted and I'm starting on the rest today.

Did a lot of painting on this today,don't know if I'm really happy with it, not looking as good as i had hoped for well see what it looks like when I'm finish. Kind of struggle with painting the gold pin strip (on such a small model), And the window color but i think what i have is what its going to end up being my with a little clean up.

[cylon75]

Painted the engine flaps today, Lot of detail painting on these.
Here's a shot of the front and back of them.

[cylon75]

Well its all in one piece and the paint is 98% done. A little touch up and a little weathering and it will be good to go.

Looks fantastic.don't know how you put so much into something so small.I would be at wits end....great job man.....

[cylon75]

I did the touch up painting and decals today so that part 100% done. I'm letting it dry good over night and i will do a light weathering to it and a coat of clear and it will be done.
