Thanks Johnny - the Rioja helped, thanks, but for some reason my eyes are a bit fuzzy this morning. Could be the Rioja, or my weekly weep at 'This Is Us'. That's going to divide opinion I know, but I really like the schmultz (yes, I had to look that up... not to be confused with Schmaltz which is, apparently, goose fat). I like to 'keep in touch with my feminine side' but only at the weekends (joke, no it's a joke, honestly). 6 hours ago, Stew Dapple said: Nice job Ced, it's reached that point where it suddenly goes all Mosquito Thanks Stew I'm still using yours as a reference (they're both beautiful) but bottling out at drilling out the lights... too lazy, even if it would mean I could finally use those Tamiya clears I bought ages ago.

Missed that bit, sorry Ced - I didn't bother with it, but it is supposed to represent the internally-framed part of the canopy toward the rear, the front part was conventionally framed on the outside. 2 hours ago, giemme said: Transfers on transparents?

CedB Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks Patrice and Stix Stew thanks for the tips - I've left off the 'internal transfers' as I'm with Giorgio; weird and a bit scary. I might have a go at silvered and painted ident lights though... The prop tips have been painted: Untitled by Ced Bufton, on Flickr You can see I did the PR's at the same time. Nice to note that there are little lines where the tip should be painted to hopefully I'll get a nice clean line. Canopy masking complete and glued on with Gator's Grip; It's a really good fit. You can see in that shot the tiny amount of filler required in one wing root (Vallejo, I like the nozzle) probably because I glued them on late at night and let the model rest on its nacelles. Hmmm. I think I'll let that canopy dry overnight and prime tomorrow. Maybe. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Very good fit, as you say. Looks like a joy to build Looking forward to the primer Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks Giorgio - wait no longer; I couldn't! Note that the prop blades haven't been sprayed - yet. My plan is to spray them Vallejo Air NATO black and see what the tonal difference is and then maybe do some variation of the black with black and maybe a bit of brushed black. The Stynylrez is sooooo nice though: 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks Benedikt, Giorgio and Keith I've put, er, Gunmetal on the guns: and tried Stew's idea of silvering the ident lights - I'll put some colour on last: The slightly different coloured mount rings are Sharpie to cover up the oops applying the AK True Metal but I'll call them 'detailing'. It'll tone down under the matt coat. Prop blades and possible variation, then transfers next... dare I try them without a gloss coat? Spray with Klear first? Puddle them with Klear? Thoughts? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Looking nice Ced I would use whatever method you usually use for transfers; I know it would save time to just apply them straight onto the paint, but I used the puddle of Klear method and still got a bit of silvering aft of the portside tail flash and round the edge of one of those 'trestle here' stencils under the fuselage - incidentally, while it is of course completely up to you, the red stencils effectively dissapear once applied on the black paint and I gave up on them about half-way through...
