stevej60 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Hi all,started the decaling thankfully all bar the codes and Indian head are Revell,s(when did you ever think you'd say that) as suspected the Academy ones are awful I know a couple of these are being built here so be very careful with the decals they are brittle and less flexible than an iron bar! Anyway as I said Revell decals going on beautifully the fuselage star and bar is a three piece affair and in the second photo you can see the drastic cutting to get the decal on,no major problem as I will hand paint the white area as it should be.Thank's for popping in. Oop's sorry folk's forgot to mention I did gloss the airframe for decalling and if anyone does this scheme cut the head in two where the cowl ends it need,s to be done.

stevej60 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Finished and about to put in the gallery,thank's for all the support and interest it,s been a great start to the GB year,I,m off over to the Hurricane and Corsair GB and a step up to 1/48 scale now but will be following your builds here too one last shot of the trio(and I,m not ruling another 1/72 build out)if I come across a cheap Razorback I definitely will!

Cookenbacher Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I don't know how you can build so nice and so fast. Great trio Steve! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeELL Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Steve, Next time I shall send my models to you for NMF, my attempt went sadly wrong! You have the quality of finish I was expecting to achieve. I shall live with it as, at one point, I came close to binning the model and ordering a replacement. However, it isn't a critical model for me so I shall put it down to experience. I followed the Alclad videos but I guess I need to pay more attention.

There are some superb builds out there with Alclad which does give a much more realistic finish keep at it I,m sure it will come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 well Steve they are a trio of fine looking models you've done, I especially like the NMF one! It was a real pleasure to have you along one this GB and don't forget there is still plenty of time to build a few more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
