    I really have to get a move on with this one...The GB is almost over. I'll crack on when I com home on Thursday.
  2. John Masters
    I'm not seeing your images Bob. I think it's just me as others are able to see and comment...
  3. John Masters
    Does it move or blink or something? That's quite the kit...very fun indeed. 🎅
  4. John Masters
    Wow! Any other images on the base construction? That looks very realistic, very much to scale.

    I mixed the violet with a little grey. It's still very bright. I used it anyway. It was, after all, relatively experimental at that stage. --John

    I used the Light Green for the top coat after masking what I needed. I will probably mix a little grey into the Blue Violet to get the right shade for the rest. And then white for the rudder. Once that is all done I'll take a hairy brush to the motor, Spandau, etc...then I will attach the exhaust. I hope to have that all done by this evening so when I come back on Thursday I will only have the decals and any touch-ups to do. --John

    I agree. I'll add a little bit more in the final stages, but not much. It'll be mostly dust and dirt, some fuel stains on the petrol cans. I have attached one of the water tanks to the side, as it helps to fit the large Blackdog resin piece. Note that there is still a significant gap. I will resort to the old school method of a camo net--sterile gauze. I think it will work! I won't need to use all of the gauze. About a third of the piece will suffice. The new test fit is approved! I will also smooth out the bits on the end of the resin where it was attached to the moulding lug. I made the jerry can rack from plastic strip... --John

    I almost forgot... He's coming along. I need to attach his arms. --John

    Thank you... I have attached most of the little bits and the wheels. I'll slide on the decals this weekend. The wheels are actually straight. My camera on the phone has distorted it a bit. --John

    Ok...I went with the blue underside as well. I'm contemplating adding the green and violet up top and the white rudder before Monday. I'll be off-island for a couple of days and this GB wraps up soon! I'll add the markings next week when I return home. Now I have to see if I have a suitable violet without having to mix something up! --John

    Thanks. I think I'll go with that. And skip the blue underside. And 'cream' is what I'll use too. Pale blue feels oh so 1920s and 30s...

    I've been lackadaisical on the bench, but I'm back at it. The previous Pegasus kit I built had a little scale that told me how long to cut the undercarriage legs. This does not so I had to use the box art as a reference and reply the Eyeball 2025 for precision. I used a pice of plastic rod to measure first so as not to waste the precious Contrail strip. *** And then I carefully, and with very few adult phrases, assembled the bits. I also primed the wheels with metal primer. Tomorrow I will prime the aircraft and get ready for painting. As I recall, this aircraft was not painted violet and green, but rather green and light brown camo with a light blue underside. Am I correct? The box tells me so... --John *** It would be grand if someone were to start that fine company back up, i.e. Contrail...
  13. John Masters
    No...that's usually where I forget my glasses. 🤣

    Sorry mate...I didn't have the time. Too busy working. Thank you. I used USAF Light Gull Grey for the underside. I already had it in the gun...waste not, want not. --John
  15. John Masters
    Well, time to paint. USAF Light Gull Grey seemed like good choice for the underside and the fuel pods. I also painted the Sidewinders. While I had it in the airbrush, I chose to use it on another, earlier RAF build (Hurricane). --John
