Massimo Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Hi fellas! Another small update: One of the last arrivals was this decals sheet . So I could finally add the serial... ...and the Royal Navy marking at the sides of the cockpit. Not much of an update, but another step toward the project's completion. This sheet is very useful , with loads of numbersand letters of various sizes. A "must have" item!!! that's it for now!

Massimo Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Good evening mates, Today it rained allday, ideal weather for modelling! I started by adding some details to the Phantom's nose gear's doors. I painted them white and the rocket launchers silver first, then I painted the front black and the rear gun metal. Then I concentrated on the tractor. In my previous pictures, partly due to the artificial light, I had realized the shade of yellow I had used was a bit too light, so I oversprayed some areas with yellow and a touch of orange, to give it warmer look. To give the tractor a bit of life, I decided to add a tarpaulin. To make it , I used cooking foil. Then I added rome rust marks. This is how it looks now. Ths is the result of my modelling day. On the right the Canberra's pedals. This is it for now. Thanks for watching! Ciao Massimo 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Careful with that tarpaulin; it wouldn’t be lying around loose on a tractor on deck. Lovely job, as ever!... though someone needs to rebrief Xtradecal; “Royal Air Force...letters, numerals and titles”, eh? So half the sheet says ROYAL NAVY? Pah! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
