Sean_M Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 A step closer to finishing. Weathered and a coat of flat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_M Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I have: drilled out the exhausts Drilled out and put a drop of clear red and green in each nav light on the wing tips Weathered Put the undercarriage and exhausts and a few bits on All that us left is is the aerial canopy and gun sight I have opted for a heavy weathered effect as the aircraft were literally being R & R and going up six or seven times a day. I have tried to stay as close to accounts and pilot's log in "Gun Button to Fire" comments good and bad welcome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_M Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Well I am calling this done. I will take some decent photos tomorrow for the gallery. At that last minute I changed out the Landing light cover in the wings, I just was not happy. 3rd time lucky I finished this GB. It was a new kit and had its moments. Its not perfect but then no model ever is. I wish I could re-do it again. But for now Its as good as this build will get. I hoe I captured the essence of the BoB and the hectic days where the Few stood against the many. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That's a mighty fine weathering job. I'm not a big fan of extreme weathering but that looks just right for a well used operational aircraft. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of extreme weathering but that looks just right for a well used operational aircraft. John Thanks Biggles. I redid the paint job about seven times. Was getting a lot of bleeding under the masks which was then solved by increasing the border on the cutter and a touch of future on the inside edge of each letter. I poured over photos and kept going back to Tom Nell's book. It was with great intrepidation that attempted this degree of weathering I figured that by September, flying up to 6-7 sorties a day, the aircraft were basically being refused and re-armed and patched where necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
