stevej60 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi folk's filler worked a treat so nearly time for primer very little cleaning up of the seams required. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Beema Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Not sure if this is of interest to you but I built the SH 1/48 Fulmar. On the forward section of the observers cockpit there are (I think) Instrument repeaters of the pilots instruments. You would be able to see them trough the rear canopy.. See right Edited April 5, 2018 by Grey Beema 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Cheer's GB,I'll add a representation as this is one kit I will paint with the canopy fitted, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi folk's Think it's nearly time to mask up and fix the canopy in place just the pipework and a decal to add as per GB's photo and through the glass it look's busy enough for this scale. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Time for a push on with this one,I always add my canopies till last and brush paint them but because ogf the size and nature ofthe Fulmar's I've fixed in place and masked the larger areas so tommorow should get a dark gray coat on. And Gray on the masking worked well. Edited April 20, 2018 by stevej60 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Looks great. I decided that buying a canopy mask set was worthwhile as it preserved my sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Morning all,just an update on the Fulmar,I've been painting the remaining framing and while washing a few other kit's sludged a wash into the panel lines on this one left overnight to dry took off the excess with a just moist kitchen towel today the lower surface shows the beautiful panel lines better,what a shame Vista seem to have gone AWOL they really produced a beauty with this kit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
