| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:32 |  | | Views : 1010 | | One final experiment, was the matching of olive drab color of the Solartex with spray paint from a can. Since I live in a small apartment, I don't have the room (Read that, luxury) of having an air gun with compressor. I was very happy to note that between Model Masters and Tamiya, Tamiya # TS-28 olive drab matches the Solartex beautifully. This means that I can add metal paneling around the engine area using plastic sheets (or glossy paper) and simply spray Tamiya's olive drab for a perfect match. That's it for now. It'll be a couple of days for me to work on the model. |

Among several prominent features of the S.E. 5, besides the radiator and top wing-mounted machine gun, was the fuselage stitching. Instead of simply adding cross stitching to the model, I thought it might be kind of cool to actually simulate the upper and lower halves of the fuselage and link the two with stitching, as you can see from the drawing of the real aircraft in the background. |
