Hi,
thank you for your words. The big paintwork ends finally not without difficulties....  weathering is begun with oil paint:   I make pochoirs by gluing together every piece of Scotch-tape between them with a point of glue before taking it away of the support to put it on the wing.   The small "1" is made with decal (which does not break in small pieces like other one). The red edge remains to pose over....

I was very happy of my head of Indian until I lean over the photographs of the plane (Windsock). It does not resembles emblem painted on the plane!
I therefore touched up the chin in the oil painting, and also painting the red and yellow on the nose and the forehead and the too dark blue forehead, the black plume missing at the end of the white feather, etc etc. The end of the blue feather is cut. before:  after:    It is not perfect but I cannot make better. The frontal ring is painted with the flexible scotch tape which they use in jobs electrical. It leaves tasks of glue alas. I read (but too late) here that they can make this with a ball of rubber skin: Master194 • Afficher le sujet - Yak-3 de Robert Iribarne 1/48 : la preuve par 7...  I would try this................ but another day  A+ |

Beautiful Louis!!! Do you know the story behind this plane and lt. Oscar (T. S.) Gude? Rickenbacker gave him the monicker T.S.
He used the 93rd Aero Commander's aircraft for a mission and decided to land behind German lines and surrender. Then he made up a wild story about a dogfight and one of the POWs he was with advised Gude that he saw him land and surrender. It seems in the units he served with (94th & 93rd) and even as a POW. Gude was found out to be a "blowhard" with "bad nerves".

Hi Stephen, hi Doug and thank you,
yes, I knew this story. This plane was usually flown by Major John. Huffer (WS N°32 p35). He would not have had to lend it...... It's not plane's "fault"... Last edited by huberlu; 22 September 2009 at 02:57 PM. |

You are generous:
High Stephen:
Some of our friends may not know what TS is, it is Tough Sh-t. Don't forget to dot the i. I would call him a coward and every patrol he flew he endangered the other pilots by bugging out. He was a blowhard, he grossly exaggerated his war time service. Blue skies Stephen, Dan-San |
