HAMP man Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi Tony, having gone the other way with a 1/72 Spit,so to speak (Mk XIV to PR XIX), I'm very tempted to have a bash myself. You make it look so effortless...as we say in our drawing office..'now box on'. Regards, Strickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Still amazed at how great your brushed paintwork is! Watching with interest and awe as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Cheers lads,......here is another update, the decals are on; The code letter decals are not perfect and the stroke in the `A' is lower than it should be but they were the best that I could find. Following a coat of matt varnish the model will be weathered and then the smaller or more breakable items such as the undercarriage etc will be added,......nearly there now!! Cheers Tony O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Excellent stuff, Tony. Love Aviaeology decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Excellent stuff, Tony. Love Aviaeology decals. Cheers Paul and Bob, Just to clarify,..I`m not using Aviaeology decals as they don`t include this scheme (yet?) so I`ve had to rummage around in various decal files and boxes to find what I need, but I do agree that Aviaeology are absolutely top notch and probably the best researched RAF/RCAF decals available at the moment anywhere. Just waiting for the matt varnish to dry now so that I can `clart on' and get this one done! All the best Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 'Clart'? Never heard that one before! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) 'Clart'? Never heard that one before! bob It`s a Geordie term I believe Bob, I picked it up in the Army and from my mates who live up in that neck of the woods. I think it means to `carry on' , `mess about or to `put a bit of effort in',.....that's how I interpret it anyway? Cheers Tony O PS- Apparently `Clart' is old Middle English for- Dirty or Muddy.

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Tony - I've been lurking watching this. And WOW does it look good. Nice choice of scheme too ( and effortlessly finished as usual). Come on now chap - with a bit of "clartalization" you can have this finished by 11pm Jonners, impressed as ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony, It's still in use in the NE of Scotland today! Normally used along the lines of "...absolutely clarted in...", meaning something was completely covered in something. PS, nice Spit!
