zebra Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Nice work on the Ju-52 Ced. What's next? Do you have anything older than this or the Frog S-6B? Fingers crossed for the weather on Tuesday. About 15 years ago I set out to do a PPL in NW England, I had my share of weather cancellations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone as always for your help, support and company during this build. Next build started here: Come on over - it'll be great to see you! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Looks very good, Ced! You built a great looking model from an old kit Two finish models in five weeks is a bit too much for most of us Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm for the GB!

Ray S Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hello Ced, despite the age of the kit, you have done an excellent job on it! I picked up a few hints on improving these older kits, and as I like building 'legacy' kits, they will come in useful! It was a great save with the glazing, and good idea with the panzer putty. Until I got this month's Airfix magazine I had never heard of it, now I find you have been using it for some time! All the best, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thanks Benedikt Thanks Jaime for the kind comments and, of course, for running a great GB Two models in five weeks is likely to slow down as I find other things to do in retirement! Thanks Ray. The putty is very useful when tape won't work. Worth the investment IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Considering the age of the kit you've done a grand job on it. The use of the putty for masking was very clever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Cedulous work as ever on a tricky beast and a fine result sir. I tell you that Filmoplast looks dead handy! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Thanks Tony I think you'll find the Filmoplast handy for jobs where painted decal sheet just won't cut it. It comes in big rolls and should last for ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Good job Ced, a good result from your tenacity in the face of enough provocations to have made me bin that kit five times over, my hat is doffed Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I've just heard the UK weather forecast for tomorrow and they're going for some rain passing through in the morning followed,by a nice day, so hopefully it will be chock away for you.

The Spadgent Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Done and dusted and moved on already. honestly. great end result, she looks great in the gallery too. Not an easy kit but you made it look that way. Top job once again. (Right where's that new build of yours I'm late to start following.)
