Beard Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Too plump cannon fairings removed and skinny ones fitted. Better? Opinions welcome. Thanks for looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Better yes. As are the new codes over what was offered on the kit decal sheet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the kit's codes were a rather lurid green. 11 hours ago, stevehnz said: Those look much more betterer Simon. Steve. Thanks Steve and thanks for the tip (although I wish I'd clarified what bit you used). 9 hours ago, CedB said: How have I missed this one? (Oh, hiding in a GB, right...)

Beard Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Nearly there: undercarriage on and the exhausts have had a basecoat of Humbrol 33. Thanks for looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Matt coat done, then realised that I hadn't added the walkway transfers first; the decals didn't work, they wouldn't move on the matt surface (I couldn't be bothered to apply another coat of gloss varnish), so I masked and painted them. A bit of tidying-up to do then she's done. Thanks for looking. Edited April 29, 2018 by Beard 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Nice result Simon, I like this a lot, it sure catches those handsome if slightly thuggish lines well to my eye. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm calling this one done. Photographs are in the gallery. Thanks to everyone who commented, especially @stevehnz for the tip about using rockets for the Hispano II barrels, and to @Col. for hosting this Group Build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
