Fritag Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Nah - it's me that didn't make myself clear. Must remember not to post late at night when I should be asleep....... I understood that you wanted to mask around the decal - but I was thinking about the carrier film and the danger of it lifting on unmasking if you used (say) the Tamiya masking sheets like this stuff: http://www.air-craft.net/acatalog/Tamiya-Masking-Sheet.html This is what I was ineptly trying to describe with the post it notes Should do the job for just misting on some thinned white?

philp Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ever since I read Torpedo Bomber by Ralph Barker I have wanted to do a Beaufort based out of Malta. Wish someone would release a decent kit in 72nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Wow looks fantastic. Great work. Re the masking, Have you tried Frisket Film, it is a fairly clear low tack film and comes on a roll, there is enough on a roll to last a lifetime of modelling. I used most of mine doing the chequers on my car roof (1:1 scale) in a sort of Mini style with a twist, it was great, it was done over quite fresh paint and did not harm the surface at all. Great stuff, can be found on Ebay. All the bestChris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Wow. That is incredible. You have an infinite well of patience to turn the raw material into that Lovely Looking Thing. I got so fed up with my Frogspawn version that in the end it was finished wheels up dangling on some string. Respect Trevor PS a million pages ago you were talking about 'soup'. If I remember rightly Sid Horton referred to it in that Airfix series as Carbon Tet and was *very* wary about its stability/flammability . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I always thought it was the same stuff! Now I know it isn't I may have a go myself at 'soup'. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Ekedahl Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Ever since I read Torpedo Bomber by Ralph Barker I have wanted to do a Beaufort based out of Malta. Wish someone would release a decent kit in 72nd. Another very good book on Beauforts is "Torpedo Leader" by Wing Commander Patric Gibbs, Wrens Park Publishing, ISBN 0-905778-72-3. Highly recommended.

FZ6 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Great looking build. I have the Frog MK.21 and can see how you've improved it. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHead23 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Really impressed with what you have done here and you have inspired me to think that there may still be life in the old Frog and Matchbox versions in my collection. Utterly superb! Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Nice canopy! I use blutack to pack canopies out when I'm working on them or using them for moulds. The weathering is looking good too, especially the roundel fading. (I never think my Milliput is going to set but it always does - so far!)
