Convair XF-92

 

Wing gaps by far the worst I have ever had to fill in a life time!  

Yes, both sides needed plastic card scraps, milia putt, and Mr surfacer just to get them to look ok! 

primed with Alclad black micro fill. Want to try a black based white paint job. Needed some micro fill because all of scratches from sanding down all of the raised details on both the top and bottom on the wings.  

Alclad Aluminum, exhaust, and MRP-002 Insignia Red in the intake. Scribed panel lines on the wings and twin lines around the exhaust area. 

MRP-083 FINE SURFACE PRIMER 'WHITE' and MRP-004 White over black base worked I though. But some repaired areas while using Ammo Blue glue are still showing(bottom spots only). I guess I should have reprimed 🙁  

Testor's decals went down good. only had to use a little Tamiya mark softer on the stars and bars at the front  

 

PSA Black based vs Gray Based with White don't match  

Blue TAC canopy mask fail... Well I need to strip all the paint anyway. Then re-mask with tape black base then white 

I still need to refit the canopy after I repaint it, then apply the last decal(anti glare). going scratch build and fit the intake splitter and the pitot tube. Maybe some weathering before the 21 sept SLC IMPS show. 

 

 

Silly me, I sanded the intake smooth inside and out. Well this is the solution I can up with. I had added a black blanking plate inside the body about 15mm deep from the intake lip. 

I cut it to short the first go around and had to add that small section of tube to the bottom base plate. 

look's good to me with the master F-16XL pitot tube in dryfit. 

Well still couldn't get the canopy paint to match he body 🙁 The master F-16XL pitot tube was a great fit for this kit. 

Look's ok from this view. I wish the pitot tube was more centered. I think I over did it with the paint chips. 

Off the SLC IPMS show! update this XF-92 was given to Shawn Earl at the show! I think I want to try to find another one. So I could take another shot at it...
