Radleigh Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'd love to build this in 1/72nd scale, maybe one day!? Looking great John, I can't wait to see it at Telford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd but I think this build has been easier than the 1/72 HP kit, but you should go for it Radleigh John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 The second coat of black went on early AM I've added the nose radome, when all is dried out tomorrow I can fit out the cockpit, then it's on the home straight I think John 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 That black underside looks truly wicked compared to the pale and interesting topsides! Definitely a Janus-like aircraft and beautifully turned out as ever John. Now, I wonder whereabouts at Telford a chap might get to see this?

canberra kid Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) A good days work on her today, I got a coat of satin varnish on, the undercart almost complete, she looks almost done but I still have a lot of small detail things to add.

I have to agree Paul, they were the first things to catch my eye, if only one was out it would stand out like the proverbial sore thumb. I did not realise John that you used a hairy stick to paint the black on the wings, it must have been as wide as your yard brush, I always thought that when using a brush it took several sweeps of very thin layers, you have got great results from just 2....how? She is an absolute beauty John and in those colours will look very catching. Gary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gary, the lines were very well behaved, which was a big relief!Although I chose to brush the black I did consider using Halfords but the masking put me off, although on the next one (there, I've said it now) I will use a can. THe paint was strait out of the tin and again on reflection I should have thind it and gone with more coats close up it is far from what I would have wished for, but I'm mindful of the time constraints of the ever looming Nationals! 18 hours ago, stevehnz said: Looking fantastic, another reason I'm sorry I live so far from Telford.
