:wall::wall::wall:, I spent a lot of time for havin' these stripes painted and they are furnished .... :angry:

Trust me you've not wasted your time at all. I've been following another build elsewhere and the decals don't fit well and don't cover the paint either. Far better by hand. 

 

What Lightning scheme do you need fin flashes for? I have several :rofl:sheets so could easily send you roundels and fin flashes, that way they'll match. Just PM me if you want them.

Thank you for the kind words

My Lightning will be a F.6 from the 5th Sqdn at Akrotiri with the smiling (??) sharkmouth.

So they are low viz fin flash, but I already have ordered a decal sheet for a Trainer...

Then I read your post, order sealed :wall:once again

Whatever I thank you for the offer, and I keep it in mind

Will buy another Lightning now :P

Thank you again:cheers:

Sincerely.

Gah! The curse of the striped wing. I’ve painted them and used decals too, both worked well to be fair. I’ve found if you paint white circles before adding the roundels all is good. A little late I know but I’m sure you can mask the blighter.  :penguin: oh and if you need any lighting decals, I have some too just ask away dude. If I can help out just let me know.

 

All coming along rather well however, it wouldn’t be as much fun if everything just worked now would it. :christmas:

Hello Dears,

I re-painted the roundel and now it's decal or transfer time...

Hello dears,

That old airfix kit, no tank filler cap, decals are partly missing but I get through !

Filler cap made from a sprue ! A bit graving and paint.

Don't know what's happening these days, Many homework for SWMBO and I start to model at 2100

I'm not really efficient at least !

Nice job corsaircorps I recently finished a my mk 47, I did a folded wings version. Looks great, as does your lightning!

Hello Blitz,

My next .47 will also have folded wings, but I will make a .46 before

Hopefully the .47 and the frightening will be on RFI this month.

Then the 190D-9 and the F-94C, alas my pace has already been slowed by IRL and SWMBO😣

But the Seafires .17 are well on their way too !

Can't wait to make my poll about these 2, t'will be funny !

Have a great modelling time.

Sincerely.

The wash worked well, especially on the cowling fasteners.

Hello John,

Thank you Sir !

Since @The Spadgent has induced me in Flory product, I became an addict !

It work fairly well, I tried the Tamiya washes before but it did'nt work with the X-tracrylics paints.

Unless you wanted to have the paints out....

So I use Flory grime or Sand, if you are not satisfied, you clean up with water and that's all !

Great stuff indeed !

Sincerely

Hello dears !

Hello Dears,

I'm really sad since once again, I've been hit by the varnish curse. 💩

Look,

WP_20180518_22_05_07_Pro

she look far less snazzy now 🤬🤬🤬

WP_20180518_22_04_50_Pro

Now, I Wonder what to do instead of throwing the whole thing against the wall !

3 times over a tenth of kits enough, will never use the Tamiya matt varnish !

Have a good modelling time.

Sincerely.
