Mr B Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Updated - Thanks for the encouragement guys..... Cockpit ready to be closed up.....done whiles the white glue is still wet....on the clear part........ Decided on NMF .......used Humrol Enamel for the undercoat...........took over night to dry......... Trying to paint on the markings for the tiger sqn......not too sure ....... Silver and panel work done ......still some clean up and fine tunning..... This fellow is hard to paint.......lucky I purchased a new compressor.....my old compressor would have died............for sure.......... Still a fair bit to go......

Mr B Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Ok got an update........ Managed to pop over to my mates place today, and after checking his enormus supply of decals ....we were unable to find the tiger head I required..........so I had to scale down the oversized ones I have and printed on clear decal paper i had so hopefully it will look ok on the aircraft...........and transfer well By employing this I also had to prep the tail with a white backing paint...........so that it will not be transucant........managed to get all that done .....but Photobucket will not let me upload pictures........so when it premits me, I will do so...........for now its pictureless........ Anyways the airframe is also done .......and glossed for the decals.............so if all goes well.........I plan to do the decals tommorow..........and complete the build soon........ Thanks and Regards Mr B Pak Shiek- It is always a pleasure visiting your home.............with the wonderful stuff you have .................Thanks Rgds MrB Edited September 15, 2012 by Mr B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightning770 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi Mr B you are realy cracking on with this build are'nt you. I take it you have used Alcad II paint for the natural metal finish? Is it polished alluminium you have used over gloss black.? Ive just finished my 1/32 F4E so i'm now putting some attention to the Trumpeter F6 that i'm doing . Keep up the good work Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
