stevej60 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi folks, here,s a bit more done two or three thinned coats of Tamiya white applied and quite happy with the coverage and sheen.I added on the lumps and bumps to the top of the fuselage that I had to remove due to the work needed on the poor join so going to leave for a day or two to dry thoroughly before more work,also slotted in the glazing and filled and sprayed over as I will use the decal,thanks for looking in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Good to see more progress Steve. The paint finish on those looks good from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Gosh, now I'm watching like a hawk. Except for the rear stabs, I have never done any decal work before assembly was totally complete. Just know I would bugger it up somehow. That fuselage is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi all,just a quick update: fuselage 99% done a few lumps and bumps to re-add,engines washed just the silver leading edge "ring" to add and decals. just clicked everything together for a photo,tail decal a disaster thankfully Revell supply separate yellow logo,s to enable the tail to be painted rather than the fully finished large decal which defeated me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Very tidy indeed and a novel build sequence. Thanks for posting Steve. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi folks, not touched this one for over a week so back on track with wheels added engines glued on and weathering done a little heavy I suspect for many but this is a test build to get the "feel" for airliner types and very enjoyable it has been.Just a few items to add and small items to re-add to the fuselage and I,ll be there.Thanks for looking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 That looks very good indeed Steve. The fin emblem will make a huge difference when you get round to adding it. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
