Learstang Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Fabulous? I would say that it's spectabulous! It's amazing, Neil, what can be done when one actually works on a model, instead of just contemplating it from afar (as I normally do).

Fritag Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Big fan of your work Neil, not only does it look realistic but you nail it every time... very consistent! Couldn't agree more. And I also agree with the specific comments on how good the weathering is. Definitely a Woody signature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Question. Generally l thought the inside flap colours was the same as the underside. Hi Dave, That is a good question. I can't find any conclusive evidence about the early airframes. I went for green to add some variation to the black, but certainly open to debate on this one.

Mancunian airman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Apart from the fact the colour scheme, weathering looks great, I would like to ask a question . . . How do you accurately cut the windows out from the decal(s) ???? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Colin, PM replied, glad you're OK, good to hear from you It seems in general they sat with flaps up so the interior colour is anyone's guess until someone here comes up with evidence . Having done that l have nothing against what you used, it was just more to satisfy my curiosity. Over all a job well done and l like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you accurately cut the windows out from the decal(s) ???? many thanks I give the decals a good dose of Kleer, as much as anything to reduce silvering, but I also finds that it makes them more resilient to flaking away. I then run a sharp knife around the window before removing the masking and they generally come away nicely. There's usually a bit of touching up, which I usually do with the relevant colour. It seems in general they sat with flaps up so the interior colour is anyone's guess until someone here comes up with evidence . Having done that l have nothing against what you used, it was just more to satisfy my curiosity. Over all a job well done and l like it I've come across several photo's with their flaps down, although not as low as I've done with the kit, but they're all in B&W and none are clear enough to make a correct judgement. This would be useful if anyone can shed any light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Well Neil it's taken me a couple goes to read through this thread but it was worth the time. You're well on the way to producing another Woody's Workbench Wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Cheers Col, the Christmas holiday has speeded things up, although the new painting technique is something I want to use more often, its yet another thing I've learned to slow the build rate down! Got some of the fiddly bits on today. Only the turrets to do. The rear turret that comes with the conversion is quite narrow, so I'm going to have a go at crash forming a replacement. I made a former of the right size, so I'll see how that goes tomorrow. I'll get some pics tomorrow of these bits to show you what I mean. In the mean time, she's now sat on her own boots with the wings glued on... Â Â Â Â 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Woody, that is a real beauty! I wish I could do half as good as you do. I'm not really a kit builder, more of a styrene butcher. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Beautiful as always, Neil! You know, with that ungainly engine installation and the triple tail, the Manchester almost looks like something Blackburn would have designed.

Col. Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Must say the paintwork in particular has caught my attention Neil. That's a highly effective technique you've employed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 That is looking stunningly good. Now if I could only find me one with a Kiwi crew...... Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybee Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Neil the thing about your modelling is it's so good I prefer to see your kits on the BC able, so hurry up and make one of everything BC had and we'll all be a lot happier. Lovely build Regards Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
