AREA 88: "Rocky's Arrival" (DC-03)
First things first... drill out the windows.
Windows and door opened up. Time for a dry fit.
Interior painted black to add depth and the windows glued in place with white glue.
Fuselage all glued together. As always, some seams showing.
Still a few gaps at the seams, so it looks like it's back to the sanding board.
Hmm... the bottom still needs work too.
After lots of putty, sanding, repeating, painting and then polishing... we have a shiny plane!
Engines painted and washed.
Engines installed and first coat of future applied... and hairspray!
Green paint on... doesn’t look too bad from this angle...
Hmmm... we may have a masking problem... or three...
Whoah! Now that’s a face even a mother couldn’t love... at least not with corrective surgery!
Started chipping away at the hairspray layer... maybe too much.
Urm... perhaps a bit too much?
Crafting up some new “in flight” propellers.
At least the underside turned out the way I’d hoped...
Hmm... not quite happy with the propellers.. still need work.
Well, it’s starting to look like something.
I had an idea to use glue for the windows, but I want them to dry convex so it needs to dry upside down.
