Naval aircraft were painted. Aluminium paint over the usual corrosion protection and primers. Sometimes with a clear top coat. Grant

A jumble o' kits from The Shelf o' Doooom
Vanroon replied to AlexN's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Alex, I am fortunate enough to possess one of John Aeros fuselage corrections for that weirdly mismanaged kit. Yes, that is the Pay Air Services hangar. Visiting a distant inlaw at his workshop Nov 2011. It was a stormy day with nothing flying and was given a Cook's tour. -

I have seen this accomplished recently on a build started long ago. Here's to yours being as successful. Grant -
Singer/Sunbeam Rapier. Airfix did a 1/32 kit about 1963ish. Grant

May I offer another alternative for picture hosting? http://www.picturetrail.com have been a solid host for my collection of postable images in my decade or so of membership. Grant

A piece of history resurrected. I think it deserves a decent stage. Grant

That's really good update Bandsaw Steve. I love our new drill stand. 😎 How fast is that drill spinning, is the speed variable? When drilling hard timber such as dry jarrah I keep a cup of water nearby to dip the drill at intervals. Perhaps a sponge in your case? Good work there Bandii G

1/48 Arii P-40E Kittyhawk - "a desert relic"
Vanroon replied to cambridge's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Lovely work. I recall when the photos first came online. The pilot perished there but this will make a suitable memory to him. The battery from the last compartment was made in Australia. Grant -

I have a spitfire mask plan in lots of scales. Can send via, I don't know. Once I emailed them, do message apps carry PDFs? Is there a place they may be loaded for download? I use rubber backed curtain material. Grant

A lot of great advice here on techniques and execution to get the look. One piece of advice I found worth taking; "When you think it needs a bit more, stop." Grant

Voted no in the poll, but some of my favourite kits are Tamiya. Swordfish, Seiran, Beaufighter for a start. Mosquito. Then there's 1/48th and 1/32nd scales which leads to Eduard and Wingnut Wings. Phew. Grant
