Lee, of course I'm interested! I think you're right .. unless I got mixed up too, we need 2 parts from the M3. I'm sure someone will confirm!

Bigturc · 01-23-2011, 10:37 PM

While we're at it, I need a confirmation ..

1. Is the 20mm Flak38 MIT DS.AH.52 also valid (instead of the ds.ah.51)?

2. The 4 red lights behind the Bomber, I think I've read they were leds, are they the commonly known T1 3mm? Anything special about them before I just go and order them?

You will need the 52.

A, now you can ! But do it quickly because I havent done too much space lol My box could be full very soon !

Bigturc · 01-31-2011, 09:48 PM

Stu's AWESOME starter kit arrived today .. and boy am I glad I bought one of these .. the parts, the tight fitting, what a great time saver!!!

Awaiting 2 more packages and then, I'm ordering the rest of the material. After that, it's build time!!!

Thanks Stu and everyone who contributed directly or indirectly to this thread .. you guys rock!!!

Bigturc · 02-08-2011, 07:49 PM

Hey guys,

Wihle I'm waiting for my parts, I was wondering what was the official paint used on this? I thought Tamiya Haze grey spray was it, but for the life of me, I can't find it in any Bomber threads.

Hints?

Aurora · 02-08-2011, 08:40 PM

When i was researching it seamed like there was no know paint i think the general consensus was a 50 50 mix of two colors

Moska · 02-09-2011, 05:34 AM

I painted my Bomber using a mixture of Tamiya White, Black and Blue XF-8.
It looks closer to studio model.

Rafa

Bigturc · 02-09-2011, 05:47 PM

Love the color Moska!
But I hate mixing .. always comes wrong!

Hopefully, someone will chime in with a close enough spray can!

Bigturc · 02-17-2011, 08:37 AM

More update .. parts are begining to arrive!

Got my plastruct order along with my Vader Tie!

Bigturc · 02-17-2011, 09:18 AM

Guys,
The only parts missing are the following .. anyone could help?

Tamiya 20mm Flak 38 -- J8 (Right pic in blue) -- I can always buy this kit too
Tamiya Yamato -- (Right pic in red)
Tamiya Shinano -- (Left pic in red)

I'm sorry, I can't help you because I did all these pieces from scratch.

Just a warning: the piece from the Yamato corresponds to the old model. In subsequent reissues this part has changed.

Bigturc · 02-17-2011, 02:39 PM

Thanks Moska,
You're right about the Yamato and Shinano issues about the urr .. reissues! That's why they're harder to find! Who knows, maybe someone have a spare or cast of it!

Hammer3246 · 02-17-2011, 08:39 PM

Al,

I see you have the acrylic plastruct. I'll send my extra hemispehere and dome, they're abs rather than acrylic. You can give it a try, I hear its easier to scribe.

Cheers

Bigturc · 02-18-2011, 12:21 AM

Ron, thanks again for everything!!! I'll finish this thing just for the help you gave me on this!

On another note .. GUYS, I'm doing an order for the missing kits I need .. and as weird as it will sound, I'm missing around 50$ of kits .. so I'm wondering, what kits good be good to have around as one offs beside the kits from the Bomber? I tried the 8Rad but my sellers didn't have them .. so .. I'm waiting on suggestions!

Hey Al great job!!

Tamiya Haze Gray TS 32 only comes in a spray can, with and few coats of dull coat since it has a satin finish, color is a very close match to original my local hobbyshop has some.

Bigturc · 02-18-2011, 10:25 AM

I've never worked with Tamiya spray can before .. is one can enough for this model?

timeslip · 02-18-2011, 11:23 AM

Wow, looking great. Just started on mine. One thing, the body to wing mounts on yours is wrong. The final ring is too big. It should be slightly bigger than the Leopold part. Also, only the smallest tube is tappered.
George

Bigturc · 02-18-2011, 12:29 PM

Thanks George ..
Although everything you see right now are parts, material and the Bomber itself is Stu's starter kit. I'd be inclined to say that it is bang on in terms of the 3 rings .. but I'll let the exports chime in! Lee? Julien? Stu?
