Nigel Heath Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks chaps, oh yes I will crack on with the Osprey tomorrow. When I reviewed my last post I realised I had forgotten to oil wash the bomb bay doors so before varnishing I got on with that: It was a bit awkward now they were attached but with a tissue and cotton bud I got it finished: I also brush painted some fine lead wire for the brake lines after applying clear metal primer: Then I got the varnishing done: There were a few white flecks which I had to scrape off with a scalpel but otherwise it went well. I then glued on the bombs using Gator glue which would dry invisible: I left the bombs off until after the varnish as I wanted to retain their satin finish: The brake lines were dry now so I could glue them on: I had to use superglue for those so I then had to retouch the varnish. The final parts to go on were the main wheels: I then had a right game unmasking the glazing: I might still have a fiddle with that. The last job on this build was to apply some pastel weathering around the guns and things and I used Mr colour smoke grey to add some oil streaks to the radial engine: I think this is finished now. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny so I will get to work on some RFI shots. Bye and thanks for watching, Nigel 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well done Nigel, love how it turned out. I'll have to PM you about these washes of yours as they look great but will need bravery on my part to use them for the first time me thinks !
