Great start on these, will tag along too, looking good so far. Crikey didn't know that, thanks John, might have to bin my current bottle as hit and miss whether it works🙄 Chris -
Hi all Some further progress Underside painted Some Seafire bits added, the lifting sling spigots are plasticard and plastic rod First coat of DSG brushed on Beaufighter Mk.II undercarriage doors extended and widened a bit as these are the CMK conversion ones, yhe Alleycat ones are just plain inside Doors in place Barracuda Early Beaufighter wheels in place, a couple of underside FAA use aerials added, one under the cockpit is brass rod and under the rear fuselage is invisible thread Nearly all matt coated A bit more on the distraction build too, lots of tiny fiddly parts, really enjoying this one though Thanks for looking in Chris

It is a beauty and goes very well too. I have been getting the bits together to build it, using spares from other VW kits and two Revell kits and had the wheels cast too. Chris

Looking good and great to see some paint on . Cracking work. Chris -
A few from me, went to the Pilot in Retros meet for a darn good breakfast and to see some cars of course. Rain put a lot off unfortunately Lovely Mercury Montclare, massive Immaculate 340, apart from some stretching to the front seat material, it is like it has just left the factory Bad boy looking Dodge Challenger, looked awesome and should really be in my garage😉 Nice Dolomite Sprint Zephyr Farnham conversion Lovely Bus, this is my mate's 57 Splitty, an awesome bus and I will build a model of this one, one day. Thanks for looking Chris

Great idea for the two schemes, like it. Great work on the model too. Cracking weathering too. Got a couple of these in the stash to do one day. Chris -
Azur Fleet 16 Finch, now with added Northrop Nomad
bigbadbadge replied to bigbadbadge's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Thanks Alistair, pleased I got the wing stripes sorted as the spacing is set by the serial numbers under the wings. Thanks Adrian, the framing took quite a while and does have a pleasing look. Yes it looks very similar to the Chesapeak and the floatplane looks lovely. I wanted tohave a go at the Fleet due to the scheme and the large canopy, but I know what you mean about the look. I have the Sea Gladiator next in line on my FAA thread and an Applecore is very close too, both lovely looking aircraft. Thanks guys Chris -

Fantastic details Chris, the windows are excellent and the belts look fab was the texture added or is it just the paper? Looking forward to seeing what you do with the tail fold. Great work Chris

Thanks David, that's very kind, I am still learning every day. Thanks Roger, I had to start with the wing stripes as the underwing serials are black with yellow sections for the stripes. Pleased with them so far. Thanks Derek, they are slightly thinned hence why so many coats, I don't sand between each coat but will sand after 3 and then if I see bits of dust etc. Thanks guys Chris -

bigbadbadge replied to Derek_B's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Great to see some paint going on Derek, looking good, good luck rescribing. Chris -
Great paint job , looks fantastic. Love the Humbrol Metalcote colours they work very well and if going for a really polished coat I add some Klear after it has dried and been buffed. The AK True Metal pastes are brilliant too, brush on and smooth out and buff and you can get a great metal finish with those. Chris
