    Airbrushed Humbrol 157 PRU blue topsides. I've found photos of Miss Anne, showing no black on those underfins - so that's my plan.
  2. theplasticsurgeon
    That's the instructions sequence, but I can't see anything to prevent me installing the gear later. This build is my 800th aircraft since serious building began in about 1978, they're all recorded.
  3. theplasticsurgeon
    Parts, removed from bags earlier this morning.
  4. theplasticsurgeon
    Canopy fitted and masked. That sprue in the nosebay - my painting handle.
  5. theplasticsurgeon
    Assembled airframe like a Lightning. And it will balance!
  6. theplasticsurgeon
    Compontents being prepared, and a lot of lead in the nose. And about to be assembled like a P-38.
  7. theplasticsurgeon
    Nicely done Pat.

    Novo 1/72 Bristol Beaufighter XXI 31 Squadron RAAF, South Pacific.
  9. theplasticsurgeon
    Inked on nav lights, brings this build to completion. Edited in later for colour comparison - this RAAF Beaufighter under restoration at Duxford.
  10. theplasticsurgeon
    Weapons, another RP armed Beaufighter, and painted on cannons.

    Undercarriage. And onto the wheels.
  12. theplasticsurgeon
    Decal registers corrected, and a kote of matt to normalise it down. And a closer view of canopy framing. Meanwhile undercarriage bits have been painted and are drying.

    Hi Tom, I've just found this thread, so following with interest. I used the Paragon set to convert a Revell kit in 2013, for The Battle for the Third Reich Group Build A lot of the photos have been lost by PhotoBucket, but I recovered some.
  14. theplasticsurgeon
    No choice really by now, Humbrol 30 green. not much utility until now, but how close to Foliage Green? Decals, rescued by several coats of Klear. Joining 31Squadron RAAF. Slight register issues for correction, but well 'appy with that.
  15. theplasticsurgeon
    Success! Klear is holding my decals together. Engines and canopies fitted. Then masked ready for airbrushing. . . . . . but which colour???
  16. theplasticsurgeon
    Thanks for that offer Peter. I've already got decals from that sheet, well some remnants from it. Looks like its for a flat tail Beau - rather than dihedral tail. My Novo decals now have 4 coats of Klear over them, so my experiment will be repeated tomorrow.
  17. theplasticsurgeon
    Just the one kit in my stash, which dates back to the 1970s - so count me in.

    Heller F-84G Thunderjet, built 1994. Italeri F-84F Thunderjet, built 1995. Italeri RF-84F Thunderflash, built 2006.

    Joining you with this kit. Having cost me £1.89 in 2010, it's sat in my stash ever since. Bought on Ebay from a schoolboy more into rugby than models. Lived about a mile from me - so I drove round and collected it. Decals Options I'll be going for the boxart option.
  20. theplasticsurgeon
    Cockpit. This kit looks a beaut.
  21. theplasticsurgeon
    Whilst completing the Havoc, the decals heve received another 2 coats of Klear. Then today. some work to scratch cockpit consoles, pilot figure from the Havoc. Then airframe wrapped around it. There are a few gaps and sink marks to attend to. and selotate to clamp it together.
  22. theplasticsurgeon
    Matchbox 1/72 Douglas A-20G Havoc 675 BS, 417 BG, 5 AF USAAF South Pacific.
  23. theplasticsurgeon
    Completed.
  24. theplasticsurgeon
    Undercarriage. Sadly, lack of positive location, has resulted in a toe-in configuration.
