Peter B Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Skii, As a newbie I have been following the progress of this project with great interest. It really is tremendous stuff - the scratch building, the immaculate build, and above all your patience and persistence in search of perfection. As for taking the Dremel and saw to the painted and almost finished model - that takes some bottle. I found the whole project inspirational - thank you. Could you give away some secrets on how you achieved the final (really final?) stunning finish please? Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skii Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thankyou guys, and Peter - welcome to Britmodeller, glad you are enjoying my build , albeit a bit stop-start, sorry about that ! The painting was done by mixing a slightly lighter shade of Xtracrylix gunship grey with a little barley grey, and applying a smooth top coat, then the different shapes cut from tamiya tape and applied, spraying the original normal shade of gunship grey over them, albeit not completely over the model as this makes the paintjob look uniform and bland. I actually did this in 3 stages as there are 4 shades of grey on there! cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fro Wikipedia:Theoretically the flying wing is the most efficient aircraft configuration from the point of view of aerodynamics and structural weight. It is argued that the absence of any aircraft components other than the wing should naturally provide these benefits.You can go there and look up flying wing - even if it is wiki, it might still be true Edited August 17, 2009 by hatchet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
