Nev Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Another fine looking Hunter - and I like the underside, you've got it just the right shade of grey IMO. It may have been aluminium, but in photos it looks quite grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hi Mr. Mullen..... Well that looks bl**dy great..... Now have a beer and get started on the Harrier, c'mon, no slacking now ! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mullen Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Right, next up, the Wessex Scheme has been selected, and main assembly completed, grey-blue and yellow scheme painted and Kleared ready for decalling managed to knock the 4 main cabin windows into the fuselage during assembly, so I shall be trying PVA to fill them. This has worked for smaller windows not so sure on this size. Failing that maybe clear decal film. Edited December 22, 2007 by Andy Mullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Evenin' Andy I'd go with decal film for the repair, windows that big, the white-glue will end up 'pooling' in the four corners..... go-on ask me how I know Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx6667 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Regarding XV778 as she was in the Falklands, is the red 16 solid as per normal 1 Sqn HARs or outline? Is the yellow 16 on both outriggers? I take it the crew names were removed for operational purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the yellow 16 on both outriggers? I take it the crew names were removed for operational purposes? yes......(finished 2002 as per Nick Greenall's notes ) I used Modeldecal codes and overpainted them in Red and yellow -my initial attempts at printing my own were'nt successful - though i still have that decal sheet somewhere.......

Thats ok, must get "Red 16 " back off of Nick.....anyway any news on "early SHINY Harrier decal's?" My GR1 is progressing (slowly, but progressing nonetheless!!!)

Andy Mullen Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) Now my car has been fixed I can turn my attention back to all things plastic. Heres a somewhat late update on the results of last weekends decalling. I used the main marking for the Modeldecal sheet #99, the codes from other Modeldecal stencil sheets, and the exhuast and window warnings from the kit sheet. The roundels came from a sheet supplied free on one of the 2004 Finescale Modeller magazines. Should have this build completed by the end of the weekend.

Andy Mullen Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) Right, I have tried both the PVA Glue and clear decal film on the windows and neither looked right, so I have remove all traces and left them open for now. So, for now she is complete Edited December 22, 2007 by Andy Mullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 shame about the windows but she looks pretty good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx6667 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Wow, that's the old Frog kit? Fantastic stuff, really impressed with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mullen Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) shame about the windows but she looks pretty good to me Yeah the clear decal kept drying milky, and I couldn't get the PVA glue to fill the holes. Still there is about another 10 schemes left on the Modeldecal sheet, so I may have another go sometime in the future. Wow, that's the old Frog kit? Fantastic stuff, really impressed with that. From what I have gathered from the web I believe it to be the Frog kit. On to the last of my entries which will be the Harrier. I couldn't get hold of any of the correct serial numbers for the XV757 scheme, so I shall be attempting to create them this weekend. I just have to apply a Klear coat and I can start adding the decals. Edited December 22, 2007 by Andy Mullen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
