promethuem5 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hey all This guy has been lying around in it's box half built for ages with some beastly mold lines and my not knowing what paint to use for the base... well, I finally boned up and filled and filed everything (not to mention hours of sanding) and it's finally completed.

armentage Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Great wire mount! where do you get those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 I made it. It's real thick like, tempered wire that doesn't bend easily and a wooden base I picked up at Micheal's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Nice weathering effects! She looks like a tough, battle-tested bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Nice, I like it a lot. Some day I'll have to take mine beyond the "removed from sprue and sanded the intake halves" stage. Is that the first one we've actually seen built as a 2-seater here at MW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Wow, That is a great looking YF-19. Is the aircraft held on the wire by friction or pins? Have you tried acrylic rods softened in the oven for the same effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 F4V, I haven't... this was my first flight display. Actually, this was pretty much my first real aircraft model. The rod sticks straight out and slides into the gap between the leg and fuselage. It's completely removable with no modifications to the model needed.

Fly4victory Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 First flight display! You have the master touch. F4V, I haven't... this was my first flight display.

Jagull Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 does the kit have the option to build it with or without the landing gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Awesome work! This is totally how you could imagine it looking after Isamu and Yang got past the Global Defense Systems. Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-19 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 does the kit have the option to build it with or without the landing gear? It's a technical "yes". You'll need to do some very simple modifications to the gear doors themselves, and not installing the landing gear themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardann Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Very cool. What color did you use for the off-white? It looks great to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promethuem5 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 The base color of the fighter is two different Testors Model Master rattle cans... dark yellow and somehting like euro tan.... basically dark yellow base coat highlihgted with Afrika-Korps tan... a little darker than some interpretations, but I like how it came out.
