Thank you both. The next issue was the addition of dayglo markings. I didn't put enough white under coat on before adding Vallejo Fluorescent Red so the finish isn't great. As I'm starting to run out of time I think I'll put on one more dayglo coat and then varnish and decal so I can make the finishing line. Don't let the photo fool you, the coverage on the wings is nowhere near as good in reality, the problem can probably be seen better on the booms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avereda Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Dayglo done. Well, as much as it's going to be done. I thought I might push on a bit further this weekend but the weather has ended up slowing me down. A few scratches and a bit of bleed to sort out and then I can press on, it looks like a undignified scramble for the finishing line now. Not too dissatisfied with the dayglo but the nose ring doesn't bear too close an inspection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 That's looking pretty fine! Well done on recovering it. I am looking forward to you finishing, it's going to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avereda Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Running close to the wire, might just make it though. Main markings are on and some of the stencils, I had a slight decal meets water spillage incident (see below) which threatened to knock things off course. Gig tonight but not a late one thankfully, so tomorrow - coat or two of Humbrol Clear, undercarriage on, limited weathering, two coats of matt varnish and it's done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallery shots will go up after some food and a stiff drink. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Very well done for finishing and for a great looking model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I just caught up with this. A really nice colour scheme. You've made a great looking model here. Very smart and the dayglo looks very good.. TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amblypygid Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nice Vamp, that scheme is very fetching (I was tempted by the decal sheet for that finish alone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avereda Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks for all the kind comments, I was quite pleased until I looked at the other entries and realised I'd forgotten to put the undercarriage doors on. Never mind, once they're on I'll have something for the 2017 yearbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
