Well, it's been rather a productive day. First of all a light wash. Followed by some oil work. The undercarriage got a oil wash then the Prop, wheels, pitot and aerial were fitted and it's time for a matt coat. I'll get some dust and dirt on her tomorrow along with a final tinted flat coat and then unmasking and aerial wires rigged. That should just about do it. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Chris. Mr. Mark Setter did the trick and they've all settled nicely. Thanks Mark and Roger, That is extremely kind of both of you. You both have encouraged and helped me to try to improve my stuff but it's the usual story, I'm my own worst critic and I know where the flaws are. Still keep pushing me though as it's so much fun doing this. Cheers, Alistair

An absolute belter Mark. To repeat what Roger said. Your good is something the rest of us can only aspire to. That leaves me trailing about 4 laps back but I'll try to get there soon. Cheers, Alistair

Now you're talking. What a result. That looks amazing. I do hope you've managed to get enough weight in the tanks to get het level. Cheers, Alistair- 299 replies

Stickers applied. The numbers on the wing leading edge are going to require some work but I've hit them all with Mr. Mark Softer and should manage to get another application on before work. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Andy, Yes it was XF-16. It certainly caught me by surprise but there is always the possibility that it was something I did. The chipping was just done with some Vallejo Model Air Steel on a bit of torn sponge packing. That was dabbed off on a bit of kitchen roll until it's nearly clean then lightly applied held in a pair of locking tweezers. I just wanted something light and subtle which will show up against the oil filter when that goes on. Hope that helps, Cheers, Alistair

Thanks Mark, It may take a little longer than I planned to get the stickers on. I had dropped the Infinity yesterday during a white spray but thought i'd gotten away with it. However, I was cleaning it afterwards and found that there was a small chunk out of the nozzle tip and a slight bend on the needle tip. The needle is now fixed thanks to my Sharpen Air tool but I'm awaiting a new nozzle winging it's way from Martin at Air-Craft.net. I've just received the despatch email and based on previous orders this will arrive tomorrow. Meanwhile a little light chipping. And I decided it was time to get this on it's feet. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

The Reign in Spain of Messerschmitt's Plane

Ooh bring it on, Looking forward to this one. Cheers, Alistair -
Thanks Adrian, I can only think that it's the aluminium underneath that's causing the issue as I've never had Tamiya lift so much before and very rarely since I've started using Mr. Rapid Thinner. The tape was well de-tacked before placement. Thanks very much John. It was a bit frustrating as i'd think I'd sorted it only for more to appear. Still, it's done now and I've just finished the touch ups. I'll get a clear coat on as soon as I can to protect it all, but might just do a little chipping first. Cheers, Alistair

A frustrating few hours spent pondering this. More spraying more paint lift. I've come to the conclusion that Tamiya Paints don't like sitting on top of their Flat Aluminium. Anyway this is what we have now. There are still one or two touch ups required but I'll deal with them tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair

As I'm on a shift change today I thought I'd get a little done before the Night Shift. I was just going to use all the stickers but as i had a bit of time decided to mask off and paint the tail band and wing walkways. Then a bit of paint. Out to Tesco's and on my return it was unmasked. Well, I appear to have had some paint lift. I'll need to let that settle and have a thunk aboot it. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair
