Douglas C-124 Globemaster

[Balsabasher]

The Globemaster was completed today,the orange wingtips were masked and painted by hand plus the cockpit areas and passenger windows painted freehand after marking the spots with a tip of a marker pen,this model was made from a plan from our archives,cannot remember the name of the original kit that the plan came from ? its 1=96th scale and I enjoyed building this vintage four engined beauty from yesteryear.

Wow Barry your making up for lost time! How do you do paint for the windows and cockpit? I assume your mixing light blue and silver?

[Ken Pugh]

Love it, Barry.  This is another subject I want to build some day.

Yes thats it cerulean blue and silver mixed together makes for convincing windows,if you look at the 1950's Dinky toy aircraft then thats where I got the original idea from Peter.

Peter buy a roll of narrow 'Chart tape' from the stationers,mask the framework first using the narrow tape where the framework goes,paint on your silver/blue mix,let it dry,pull off tape and hey presto instant framework and a geat looking cockpit.
