Seems like a while since the last update and work has progressed and regressed and then progressed some!

I managed to get some paint on the wings but when I masked up to do the flight controls I managed to pull up the gloss coat when removing said masking. So I had to strip the wings and resand then. I have now got back to it and applied the black for the deicer boots and a metallic shade for the flight controls. This will be masked up in a couple of days and the next metallic shade added.

I was looking at some pictures of the tail area I decide reshaping it to something more like the aircraft would not be too difficult. I filed the fillet area flat and glued in a piece of card that will be reshaped to reflect the F-27-200 shape back there.

After adding some putty...

So this all sits under the masking waiting for the paint to dry and set up...

Stay tuned

Trying to work on 4 different kits at once slows you down a bit

Haven't heard from Dave yet, we have the club meeting tomorrow night and he supposed to be turning up. No doubt he will be a popular lad for a short while. I hope he managed to obtain a few goodies I asked for.

Ok, paint applied and masking removed...

Looking good. Brings back memories of a few bumpy Canberra/Sydney flights - nice aeroplanes.
