Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 This was started some time ago for a club blitz build earlier in the year (January?) and was stalled about 6 hours in when I realised that the windscreen was missing. I received a vac-form canopy for the kit a few months back and managed to install it and then put it away again I pulled it out of the holding pattern and installed the landing gear yesterday This is how it now stands, prop is being painted so I can finish off the front end and start masking the canopy ready for some paint. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 A couple of hours of masking and it is done. Did I mention how much I love masking aircraft with lots of canopy panels.... I thought not. Since these pictures were taken I have painted the upper wing and tail, waiting for them to dry to paint the silver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 That looks magic Ray, hells bells but those pre war USN paint jobs were bright. You look to have caught it very nicely. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Calling this one done... colours used were not an exact match and I got some over (under) spray in the rear canopy. I have built better.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
