Rattler Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Some engine detail completed.....more to go, and this is only 1 of them!! I really like how the painting on the supercharger turned out. The instructions called for chrome silver, but all the pictures that I looked at showed an almost black colour. I looked around some more, and many museum engines have the silver/aluminum colour, so I painted it aluminum, then washed a coat of gunmetal over that several times until it was nice and dark.

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 27, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 ~S~ Pete, That engine looks great ! I've read that the Merlin in the Airfix 1/24th Hurricane is much improved from the one in the old 1/24th Spitfire. Do you know if the mossie's Merlins are taken from that kit or completely new ? Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 27, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 a bit "slap-dash" there Pete (thats a term we use here in the UK for a job thats done correctly). You have not picked out the "Rolls Royce" in chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 @Mick - the Mossie is entirely new moldings - no carry overs from any other kit. @Colin - I tried once to do them in red, but it didn't work out well. I'm going to dig out the old paint to freshen the indents of the words, then re-do them. It should look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
