Hewy Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Mocked up the work so far ,i have to repaint the black on the undersides,when i demasked it the isopropyl that i used to strip the paint after the mini disaster has made a bit of a mess ,but barring some minor assembly I'm not far off Cheers Glynn 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) Glynn, stick that on a proper base and a little weathering, it will look real! Sorry if I missed it, but will you be sticking some bombs on this? (Really wish I did this GB too now) Edited May 15, 2017 by mirageiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz I am muzz ,cheers I've been doing the hardly seen time consuming bits along with completly repainting the black on the undersides and the nose, I've fitted the landing gear and built up the pylons and the bombs, only the rear wings to fit,and whtever else I've missed Cheers Glynn 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks rich ,got a bit of a job on though, after having to repaint the undersides due to isopropyl leeching under the masking it got in the intakes as well, as you may have noticed no white, I'm in two minds ,attempt it with the hairy stick (not confident it'll turn out right) or a masking job ,more time consuming, slightly edging toward the masking up at the minute 1 hour ago, trickyrich said: gosh she looks nice!!!

Hewy Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 The trial continues, I've applied some stencils, and the decals, and I've given the top and sides a spray with halfords satin laquer to seal the decals in ill let that dry and attach the hardware, i know the eagle eyed amongst you will notice most of them are from "A" but thats what i had and there wasn't many on the aftermarket sheet i had, not far away now , Cheers Glynn 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
