Pete in Lincs Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I had to look twice at the Laser cannon for the backseater. Then realised it's a sighting device! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have one in my stash of these, however I plan to do mine as an A model. Do have the needed parts from the A, different engine parts and propeller plus decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lloyd Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Great work. This plane has such a cool shape (even if it wasn't all that aerodynamic). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawel Szczudlyk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Hello chaps this would be almost my last post.My plane is almost finished I just need to add exhaust do smoke marks etc and put a coat of varnish.a But I have a small problem.What kind of varnish should I use Matt or satin??Building this model was a pleasure. Here are pictures Edited March 6, 2014 by sdk_uk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganpete Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Cracking job there!!! matt would look lovely on that (matt will still have a very slight shine - due to natural refraction of light) - satin would be too 'showroom' I think (just my opinion).

Stew Dapple Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looking very nice Pawel All the pictures of the 240 that I have found on the internet look like it has a matt finish; but it's really up to you, I think a satin coat would look okay too Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Szczudlyk Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Hmm. Thanks guys I think I will put Matt coat and we will see what going to happen Cheers Edited March 6, 2014 by sdk_uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
