    I can feel my boat floating, ME ;). Seriously, it is great to see her moving along.

    Very nice

    Nice one, Pete!

    I imagined so, Bill. She is looking great by the way! I love a Thud, as you know.

    They need brass rod to strengthen them, Andre

    Nice work, Bill. Are you planning to paint the putties canopy seals at some stage?
  7. RidgeRunner
    That sound perfect, Luke :). The Venezuela possibility is intriguing

    She’s looking fab, Martin

    Not long now! No hace muchos, todos! Não faz muito tempo! Il n'y a plus I’d still like to see more non-aviation subjects.....hint, hint

    Duraluminium on. Black on. Quarter lights on. The metals are very subtle!

    They arrived and so I'll be getting the decalling finished today ... I hope! Martin edit: and they are on

    So, how's she coming along, mate?
  15. RidgeRunner
    Hi Justin! Is that that gap being filled? Martin. It sounds too much of a good project not to see it through before the end

    Any news @vppelt68?
  17. RidgeRunner
    Is anything poking out of that box, Pat, says "build me!"
  18. RidgeRunner
    Its great to see you not giving up, mate!
  19. RidgeRunner
    Me too @Andrés S.. Very nice so far

    Think of the positives, Mark - sleek and elegant, fast .... very fast, many pilots loved her, ahead of its time, etc, etc, and, as you say, there are loads of marking options! . And what a sound (in its pre-F-104S versions, at least)!!!! Martin

    👍 I've ordered some

    Are those Art Scale masks okay?
  23. RidgeRunner
    My challenge, and maybe it is my old banana-like fingers, is the application of the masks on the quarter-lights. The tolerance is very small is terms of keeping the mask off of the putty line. The SH masks are designed to fit inside the putty line, as you will know, and then you need to paint the putty line and then mask over that before applying the metallics. My issue is getting the finely cut mask to fit within that. Right now I am contemplating custom masking with 2mm tape instead.

    You may be right @drake122.

    I had posted this within my build thread but thought it to be better placed here: “I’d be interested to hear the experience of those who have got through the painting of the canopy and quarter-light stage of the Special Hobby kit, particularly the latter as the seals moulded in are extremely fine. Thanks.” Martin
