stevej60 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Hi folk's laying a marker for number six,I've never built this kit so makes sense to add it as an entry,my LMS has just re-introduced their 40% off Revell kit's this time restricting it to those retailing under £12 so it was around £6 which appealled to the miser in me.Sadly they were out of stock of the Fury and Gladiator so gone "Armour" for number 7&8! It was the content's that suprised me beautiful crisp molding nicely done panel lines and the usual excellent decal's which these Revell re-boxing's have.

Franz75 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Good decals, it is good about this Revell re-box kits, some old matchbox decals are beyond point of recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Nice choice Steve,....and good luck! I want to build a Norwegian one in the light grey and green scheme but I`m still waiting for some suitable decals to be released,...... that Candian one does look nice though and for £6 you are laughing!

Bill Bunting Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Good one Steve. I will watch this build as I have one in the stash and it is my Canuck duyy to build at least one. Any chance you're for the floats? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I have 3 of these in the stash, looking forward to seeing your adventure with the kit Steve, if I have time I might attempt one of mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yes you got a good price on it. I have two not built. Built one years ago. I can say it needs interior and glass help. Also the prop blades should be feathered when parked. I got to go into this particular aircraft and an airshow in '88. Just a couple of simple things. Oh ya, it does need nose weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Bill,I'm going with the wheeled version a Canadian military aircraft is sadly lacking in my collection since my EH 101 failed completion! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi folk's with the Hurricane finished and Swordfish going well Before calling it a day I cut of the wing's and glued them also built the base cockpit item's and cleaned up the fuselage halves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi folk's,sprayed the interior and cockpit and added the "thing's" that support the wheel and wing strut's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those are simply fairings if the stuuctures pass through them to the fuselage which I believe is the case on the real 'Twotter'. If they are the anchor point for struts and gear like a Noordyun Norseman they are called 'sponsons'. But the way the model is constructed they are sponsons not fairings... But 'things' works!

stevej60 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi folk's,not forgotten this one,I'm not used to building many kits with windows so my approach is unusual,I'm brush painting this one old style not sure the Humbrol yellow is not a bit lemon in shade I'll see how the next coat look's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi folk's we're moving again with this one.I replaced the windows with clear plastic strips from some packaging so only the windshield will be original,I also got a deeper Humbroll yellow for the final coat,now I'm here in the build I should be at the primer stage by the end of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Morning folk's,last night I sanded the fuselage joint's and added the wing's leaving them overnight to dry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
