Arniec Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Hi guys, Main decals are on and I hope to do the stencils today. I will try to put up some pictures later today. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 OK Guys, Here are the pictures after all the decals went on. It was done in two sesions. one on Monday (the big ones) and one today ( stencilling). I also placed the stabilisors. That is it for now. The next update will be after the weekend. I have a party in Liverpool this weekend, so no modelling. Cheers, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahunaminor Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Always good to see the markings as they sort of seal the deal. Nice work Arnold, enjoy the function on the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Looking good with the decals on, it's nice to see the undercarriage leg data plates ( MDC? ) which are often overlooked. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanxs Guys, Looking good with the decals on, it's nice to see the undercarriage leg data plates ( MDC? ) which are often overlooked.John Hi John, The data plates are from the Eaglecall decal sheet. They were there with the stencilling just like the ones on the propellor. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have given it today a Klear coat for the panel lines that still needs to be done. Hope to do that Thursday evening at a model evening. After that it can be given a dull clear coat and than all the small bits and bobs need to go on. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 The panel lines are done. Now it needs a dull clear coat after witch I can finish the model with all the small bits. The intention is to have this one finished next week. I don't have any pictures jet, but I will try to get some pictures up this weekend.

Arniec Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Here are the promised pictures after giving it a dull coat. Now it is to put all the last pieces on it and she will be ready. That is it for now. I hope to finish it this week. Cheers, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Not much done today, because of other activities, but here are some pictures from the undercarriage that has had it's detail painting. This will be placed tomorrow and then it needs to dry, before I put the wheels on. Cheers, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Lovely legs Arnold! Where have you attached the lower end of the brake line? I get conflicting thoughts about whether it should go in the rear of the brake drum on the wheel or into the rear of the MLG leg?

Arniec Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Lovely legs Arnold! Where have you attached the lower end of the brake line? I get conflicting thoughts about whether it should go in the rear of the brake drum on the wheel or into the rear of the MLG leg? Regards, If you go to page 3 there you will see how I have done it. I connected it where there is on the Original leg some sort of a connection that goes inside the leg?! But there does it stop on the outside. I have got this out of a book where there is one rebuild in Germany from different wrecks. Can't remember the name of the book. I have found it https://www.scalemates.com/books/book.php?id=105428 That is the source of most of my detailing. It is a great book. I have also done some work on the model and she is almost finished. I will try to put up some pictures tomorrow. Cheers, Edited August 31, 2016 by Arniec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Last update the model is finished. There are some pictures in the Galery. Here are some left over pictures. I just noticed that I have forgotten to put on the wing lights. I will correct that later. I liked this project. It was a nice kit to build. Thanks for looking and see you later with the D11 project and the two Macchi's in the MTO GB. Cheers, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
