Bodmin Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Well a painstaking few days getting the decals on. A mixture of those in the box, xtradecal and kits-world. The boxed decals were incredibally thin, a little too thin for my liking and not too forgiving when needing to adjust them, particularly the larger ones, hence the slightly misplaced no-step warnings on the wings. . I'm beginning to regret leaving the nose off. Am I right in thinking it should just blend into the rest of the fuselage? If this is the case I'll need to fill in and repaint the front end. Anyway, some good progress as far as I am concerned Edited May 19, 2017 by Bodmin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to move down the "paint set" route instead of individual pots. They seem a reasonable price those HATAKA sets, and I might treat myself to their RAF set for my next build. If they're rubbish I'll be banging on your door 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked a little light at first but seems to have darkened a little over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Looking rather Jaguarish is that. I like it. Are the large No Walk decals on the wings and top of the intakes from Xtradecal? Any silvering issues at all? Ive heard of some people struggling a bit with them. Looking forward to seeing this one finished, I need some Jag KUTA impetus here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were incredibly thin and needed plenty of fluid to stop them crumpling. They went on better than the ones on the wings, mainly because I'd learnt a lesson or two. No silvering issues though.

Bodmin Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Close to finishing now. Got the nose, plugged the gaps and painted. Seat in, just the undercarriage, payloads and bits and bobs to go 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Nice work. Tanks and stores are looking great to. The Airfix trench panel lines dont half hold some wash! Is it worth toning that down a bit before a final sealing coat if you havent already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodmin Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Well it was my first shot at wash so I thought I'd leave it. Maybe I'll use a grey next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodmin Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Well I'm calling this done. Just the canopy masking to remove. Bit of a frustrating build in places especially the undercarriage. But a few new techniques tried and something to take on to the next build. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
