Toby's Heller Texan T6G "Finished"

[Sissel]

Sorry about the fogging and compressor. Hope you can get it working again before your new one arrives.
As for the fogging, you could pretend it's been through a rough winter storm.
T-6 coming along great.

Thanks. As its going to be in French markings I'll put it down to condensation from the garlic the pilots have eaten

Great build and paint, Is the fogging just misting up or is it from superglue?. If it's just misted up it should clear on it's own.

All the best.

It's definitely not misting up. The plastic is blemished from inside somehow. I've managed to clear some from the outside but I think I may have left the masking tape on too long.

The fogging or discoloration is clearer here. Engine on. Exhaust drilled out. I think it was Miss Stang who drew my attention to this detail so many thanks

[Stuart]

Looking good!

When I saw a yellow Harvard with a solid greyish canopy I though I clicked on my build! It looks good regardless of the foggy canopy. I would just go with it.

Hi Toby, so sorry to hear of your problems with your compressor and the fogging in your canopy (maybe you could put it down to the 'shading' that I mentioned in earlier post ).

As for the tip about drilling out the exhaust, (it was my other half that suggested it to me ) but glad to share it with you and anyone else that can make use of it on the forum I've learnt so many useful tips since 'lurking' and then joining the forum - thanks everyone!

But all in all, I think your plane's looking great and the yellow paint looks really good despite all the problems!

[TobyC]

Some decals go on.



Coat of varnish will take the shininess out of the cockpit walkways.

Looking good Toby!

Looks great, Toby.
Not long now till it's done.

I just hope I can resist the temptation of doing some work on it when I return from the pub in three hours time!

Simple solution. Just drink so much your buddies will have to carry you to bed when you get home. And you wake up refreshed with fully charged batteries to hit the bench.

I've found I've done some of my best work whilst under the influence...

I can't model without it! It's as important as paint and glue!

Not much more to do.
