Carved and sanded, ready for filling and assembly.
Now to figure out how to split it up for pouring . . .
Oh yes. VERY nice!
You are a fast worker David. Looking good.
See you on the Dark Side......
First 5, ran out of resin! Rats!
Looking good, David;
Maybe you need to buy an industrial sized can of resin compound

They are nice - as a matter of interest how much damage will they cause if/when flown into an aircraft carrier?
Depends very much on the weight of the resin Chris.

And a foam-core carrier has a certain amount of elasticity, too, that would have to be factored into the equation...

Flighty Leader........you're barred!
See you on the Dark Side......
Oh! Come on now Squadron Leader, it is Easter after all?
Could you not just.............. maybe not then!

The first Emily goes through the Zoe Japanese paint paces . . . first the undercoat of bright silver
A light wiping with a bit of fine sandpaper . . . then a few coats of thinned green and gray
A few insignias and windows
Then a few more details
Now for the others . . .
This big gal turned out really well, Dave...although that meatball on the side is an awfully big target!
Your work is always amazing...thanks for the inspiration!
All the best,
Matt
Looks a real treat Dave, if you're into Jap aircraft.
Eh! Squadron Leader Skafloc.
Kyte.

Did I see a card for the Emily and Mavis in the files of days past? Can't seem to find them . . .

No Mavis in Max's sorry.

Thanks! I had all of his files on my old hard drive . . .
While I"m not a particular fan of the Pacific theater of operations, I really DO like your version of this plane, and Zoe's painting 'scheme' works really well to show some wear and tear...
All the best,
Matt
Re-worked the cockpit windows a bit . . .
Never fails, lol (unlike torpedo's which I have been led to believe sometimes miss)
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Bit of a barbed comment there Flight Leader.
Has anyone actually ever been double barred?
Kyte.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Would twice at the same time be "parallel barred"?
1 of each on order WingCo.
Looks a real treat Dave, if you're into Jap aircraft.
Eh! Squadron Leader Skafloc.
Kyte.
See you on the Dark Side......
Try saying that when you're squiffy.
See you on the Dark Side......
Good man, Squadron Leader.
Kyte.

Cool pics, Zoe! Clipper's version captures these nicely, and that target on the side really IS huge
And Dave, the new cockpit glass work looks lovely
All the best,
Matt
That new cockpit glass was so good I didn't even notice it.
Rob.

My daughter (Emily) just might take an interest if she knew this was possible. She's 7. My son looked over my shoulder and said, "oh cool! We need that."
Can't leave the Emily's out
Last seen heading into the paint shop too!
Zoe protocols, silver first
Then we go green, thinly . . .
Gotta make a lot of red circles next . . .
Ready for action . . . where did I put those carriers?
A custom Emily in Blue just left the hanger . . .
Yet another immaculate rendition from the master.
Rob.

That blue one is going to make someone very happy. I heard a lot of squeals last night when she saw it.A custom Emily in Blue just left the hanger . . .
In looking at this, I'm not sure that the firing arcs are quite right...I think the turret might rotate more than that.
Here are the gunnery arcs per Whistling Death (Fighting Wings):
Front gun 1: front arc, C/B
Front gun 2: 1:00 to 2:00, A/A
Front gun 3: 10:00 to 11:00, A/A
Dorsal gun: rear arc, high only, A/A
Dorsal turret: 360, level to high, C/B
Left gun: 6:00 to 9:00, level to low, C/B
Right gun: 3:00 to 6:00, level to low, C/B
Ventral gun: rear arc, low, A/A
Tail gun: rear arc, C/B
This beastie had a crew of 12, and except for the 2 pilots and the relief pilot, all manned a gun!
Note: the earlier H8K1 (MAR-42 to JUN-43) has the front gun 1, and the left and right guns as A/A and no dorsal gun (turret is still there).
Card makers have at it.

If someone was revising the card in the albums: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/alb...chmentid=52179
Looks like our first item for V2 of the unofficial planes.
I went with this: http://www.historyofwar.org/articles...nishi_H8K.html (10 guns, 1 dorsal low & 2 rear fuselage (having them fire just a small arc from the rear)). I made a card, and scanned it in, but it's a PDF and I don't know hot to get it to show here.
Why is it sideways, it's not on our computer.
Yea! Now to rule the sky!
Trust me; the V2 waiting list is already long

I did really crude card (but she likes it), and got a base ready, copied her a flight deck, so she should be ready to rock and roll.
