Trust me you've not wasted your time at all. I've been following another build elsewhere and the decals don't fit well and don't cover the paint either. Far better by hand. What Lightning scheme do you need fin flashes for? I have several sheets so could easily send you roundels and fin flashes, that way they'll match. Just PM me if you want them. 1
corsaircorp Posted April 17, 2018 Author Posted April 17, 2018 Thank you for the kind words My Lightning will be a F.6 from the 5th Sqdn at Akrotiri with the smiling (??) sharkmouth. So they are low viz fin flash, but I already have ordered a decal sheet for a Trainer... Then I read your post, order sealed once again Whatever I thank you for the offer, and I keep it in mind Will buy another Lightning now Thank you again Sincerely. CC 2

Norman Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 This is a very entertaining thread, please keep up the great work! 1
The Spadgent Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Gah! The curse of the striped wing. I’ve painted them and used decals too, both worked well to be fair. I’ve found if you paint white circles before adding the roundels all is good. A little late I know but I’m sure you can mask the blighter. oh and if you need any lighting decals, I have some too just ask away dude. If I can help out just let me know. All coming along rather well however, it wouldn’t be as much fun if everything just worked now would it. Johnny. 1
corsaircorp Posted April 20, 2018 Author Posted April 20, 2018 Hello Dears, I re-painted the roundel and now it's decal or transfer time... For both the Ladies But the Frightening seem to have a myriad of decals... Have a good modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 1
The Spadgent Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 Looking good. You’re not wrong about the Lightning decals. Not as bad as a typhoon mind. Jont. 1

corsaircorp Posted April 30, 2018 Author Posted April 30, 2018 Hello dears, That old airfix kit, no tank filler cap, decals are partly missing but I get through ! Filler cap made from a sprue ! A bit graving and paint. Don't know what's happening these days, Many homework for SWMBO and I start to model at 2100 I'm not really efficient at least ! Sincerely. CC 2
corsaircorp Posted April 30, 2018 Author Posted April 30, 2018 hello Dears, another one that promise to be fun ! That's the corrected propeller for the Mk .24 .... Have a good modelling time Gentlemen ! Sincerely. CC 4
corsaircorp Posted May 1, 2018 Author Posted May 1, 2018 Hello dears, The lady is on her legs now I'm now on the rockets and some other bits ! Take care and hope that you've both had a good labor day ! Sincerely. CC 4
Biggles87 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 The wash worked well, especially on the cowling fasteners. John 1

Then the 190D-9 and the F-94C, alas my pace has already been slowed by IRL and SWMBO😣 But the Seafires .17 are well on their way too ! Can't wait to make my poll about these 2, t'will be funny ! Have a great modelling time. Sincerely. CC 2

Since @The Spadgent has induced me in Flory product, I became an addict ! It work fairly well, I tried the Tamiya washes before but it did'nt work with the X-tracrylics paints. Unless you wanted to have the paints out.... So I use Flory grime or Sand, if you are not satisfied, you clean up with water and that's all ! Great stuff indeed ! Sincerely CC 1
The Spadgent Posted May 3, 2018 Posted May 3, 2018 Indeed CC, she’s looking quite smashing. 🐳 Johnny. 1
corsaircorp Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 Hello Dears, Some news of the front, Load of work with it Also worked on flaps and rockets ! The Lady will be RFIed soon ! Have a nice modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 8
Azgaron Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Interesting thread about food and beverage, or was it model building? Nice work so far on all the kits involved! Håkan 1
corsaircorp Posted May 17, 2018 Author Posted May 17, 2018 Hello dears ! Aaand another first for CC ! As there is some issue with the Seafire 47 canopy, I'll use a Squadron one ! First cutting of a vacformed canopy ! It has been cleaned since, will paint it tomorrow ! I would I have finished the Lady before my trip in Germany, but No, If I rush now, I know that I'll mess Something ! So here's a preview of the nearly finished Dame ! Have a great and productive modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 6
corsaircorp Posted May 18, 2018 Author Posted May 18, 2018 Hello Dears, I'm really sad since once again, I've been hit by the varnish curse. 💩 Look, she look far less snazzy now 🤬🤬🤬 Now, I Wonder what to do instead of throwing the whole thing against the wall ! 3 times over a tenth of kits enough, will never use the Tamiya matt varnish ! Have a good modelling time. Sincerely. CC 4
Teuchter Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Careful sanding with very fine abrasives? What a shame that happened st the end of a fine build. Don 1
Azgaron Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Not fun when such things happens! I hope you can sort it out! Håkan 1
