corsaircorp Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello Dears, Today, I spend some time in Namur, My daughter has to do some road acting for her school The one on the left, She's smiling just like me There was a lot of brits that wezre attending, but this one is un missable !! I get in an old pub and found these old adds !! And this one too, but I did'nt enjoy this beer too much !! I prefered the dark one named Tembo !! Now back at the Spit !! The stripes looked good !! Why looked ?? See !! the one on the wings were to be overpainted, so I decide to coat the fuselage ones !! And the varnish curse strike again !! Paint was dried, 3 days to cure and now this !! So I repaired it !! More to come soon !! Sincerely. CC 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hello Dears, Fixed ! Now I hope that the brush strokes will disappear a bit when drying !! I can't wait to paint her pink !! It will be a first for me !! Sincerely. CC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hello Dears ! I'm proud of my son, he searched and resurected an old concerto from a belgian composer !! Now this forgotten concerto can live at least !! Played and recorded !! The final point of years of reseaches !! Pretty funny for a metalhead ! That's an achievement and he's just starting his carrer as a musicologist !! Wow !! Back now at this one !! Sanding is almost done, sanding in listening to this album !! This is not a concerto for violin… Not at all but I like it !! Now, I saw the green tentacled one, surely some experiment about some spatial keel hauling !! Good night everyone !! see you tomorrow !! Sincerely. CC 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hello Dears in the meantime, I turn back on my .24 Whotsaid ?? Flashes ?? What flashes ?? Aaaaaand sink mark… I mean Big sink marks !! No ! This one is not an ICM one, It's an airfix ! Then what left to do ?? With this 🤬Rudder in 2 parts Putty and sanding tomorrow !! Maybe !! Have a great modelling time ! Sincerely.

Christer A Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Wow! Thos sink marks are nothing to sneeze at! Great works with all the stripes and also the entire CC-family. Time to hit play on the same album as above methinks! Edited June 4, 2019 by Christer A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Whoa! You do know that bottom section is fixed to the fuselage, not part of the rudder, right? (This is a Seafire 47, but if you mentally delete the hook itself, then it's the same as a Spitfire 22/24) Edited to add this link to add a pic of a 24 that shows it clearly, if at a longer distance. https://flypast.keypublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/10/1.-Spitfire-F-24-VN485-HKAAF-Seak-Kong-Oct-54.jpg Edited June 3, 2019 by Work In Progress 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a mess ! Thank again !! This morning, I was about to spray some pink on my Mk IX Aaaaaand !! Holy Moly, I no longer have thinner for glycero paint, since the last time I used these paints was in '90s So I get to the LHS to buy this ! Thinner for Pinkie and varnishes for my -2 Corsair ! But I see this on the counter !! will be really usefull for my choppers !! Then In listened to some sobbing, I looked around me and saw this in a corner !! You both know that with my big hearth, I cannot let a Sea.. something stranded !! So !! ther will be some Sea hurries when I'll finish my Mk I ....🤪 Well back to the Mk 24 It's oftenly a problem for me with Airfix kits ! One put the part right in place and Dang !! The part sank into the hole and you got a step !! It has marred my Lightning build ! So I tested this on my Safire 47, and it has worked fine ! I put a bit of patafix or blue tack in the hole ! And the, I adjust the part at the right height and glyed it !! Achtung !! Think that there will be a bit of retraction due to the glueing !! But one can obtain this !! More to come soon my Dears ! Hope that I did'nt disturb too much with these tips ! Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello Dears, The PRU pink for the Mk IX is really pink ! There has been some squabbling about it, some saying that it was almost White As usual, the truth is somewhere in between, so I decide to have some light grey for toning dfown the pink... But it's a bit too dark !! So, pinkie is stalled while I order some Xtracolor... Don't you worry you Spitophiles !! Still there is some Spitification in progress !! Thanks for watching. Have a great modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I added white 50/50 to it when I did mine, which left it almost white with a hint of pink. Have you seen the colour photos of PRSpitfires sitting outside a hangar ( here on BM somewhere ) which look very pale? John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will surely became a keyboard player in a black metal band... in some years... I was in Dinant this Morning 30' mins from my home !! And I found a deathtrap for you if you pay a visit to CC castle !! Not really a LHS BUT !! Sure that our Dear @Martian Hale will enjoy... The beer monsters must be kept on leash !! unless they have a good credit card to show up !! With a special note for our Dear @The Spadgent Surprise !! You will have more stuff for your buck !!

Biggles87 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi CC These are the only two pictures of my pink spitfire I can find. It was built about 4 years ago but I cannot find either the WIP or RFI on BM. As you can see it's not very pink! I dirtied it using mostly pastel powders and this is where the pink shows through most. Hope this is of interest. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
