AdrianMF Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 It all looks good. All that filling and sanding looks like hard work! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 The painting has been a nightmare so I have stopped and walked away for a while I mentioned in the Gannet thread that my wife drove me to the club yesterday so I didnt feel left out didnt I? When I arrived my mate Gareth handed me a pack of Bare Metal Foil that Tomo had entrusted him with during the Duxford trip I missed This was primarily so I could test it out on the double curvatures on the Palouste in flight mode I had used Solartrim on Solartrim doesnt like double curves much and gets creases where there is too much bend to cope with so Tom suggested BMF might do it better It does This is what was in the packet, dammit Tom that is proper generous mate I decided that I wouldnt take the Mickey so I have just cut orf the right hand wedge looking piece, Tom gets the rest back (In July unless he sends me a postal address, sorry mate. I'm off to Le Mans during next month's meet) Here is a second casting with the new BMF panels in place Some resizing to do and a little bitty 'adding some more' but that is the deal for me I'm still not sure whether to bother remoulding this with the skinny panels on, but frankly I don't think so adios amigos 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 OK as I said painting has been... Interesting to say the least, which is the least I'll say bout it but anyway having found some blemishes I am going to try to lose some of em Humbrol Putty in action, I'll rub that nicely later Those are the folding wings for this as you'll remember Actually fewer bad bits to fix than I expected This too of course has bits to fix but mostly paint runs to slow down and area ripples and unflattened holes to stop up I'd say were getting somewhere at last 😕 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massimo Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Nice to see some progress Bill!!! Both frames look great an the recce pod reallylooks the real thing in terms of shape and size!!! they just look a bit...upside down, but if you want to see them from the top , it might be enough to turn them!!! I see Palouste everywhere in your threads... That's ok unless you start seeing them in your dreamss...that'll mean you need to concentrate on something else!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian 👽 I am sure there were times when both you and I thought that was an unlikely result Martian Somebody really should make a decent proper job of this conversion kit, mini intakes alongside the fuselage and decent pen nib fairings for a start I think I would start with a centre fuselage panel instead of only intakes, joining part-way along the fuselage sides and covering the cockpit side panels for the intake zones If it happens it will NOT be because I decided to make it happen Maybe folks should just buy CMR... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Glad to see progress on the 'brick', looking every inch a Buccaneer...even with all the filler. Just be careful with pitot during sanding, forgotten how many times I broke mine. Nice to see @massimo back, his Bucc sits in a hanger somewhere, as does mine but I've just to clear one build subject and I'm back in the seat. Carry on Mr Perdu.

perdu Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Funny how odd things happen whilst waiting hold ups and bottlenecks to clear Can you see what happened here? I believe we should keep promises And I really do want to get off Naval Affaires soon so I began Buccs and Gannet are awaiting time and permission to get more paint down so Cue "What's that evil smell?" as I mistakenly thought the Tamiya Extra Thin would vaporise quickly enough to remain undetectable Oh well, back in the cellar for me wings will be folded EVERYTHING else O O B 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yes of course, Im not even going to evacuate the shallow wheel wells I looked at Andrew's Airwaves etch wingfold stuff, didnt like it and resolved to open the recesses inside the wings to enable something like this, to happen Fear not, this is not to be like the Palouste build I will make a thread for my little Foxy babe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the packaging to a tube of Holts Knifing stopper putty in the muddle room today & got a very similar question! I didn't even open the flippin tube!

perdu Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi, just a word These are back in mainstream I'm frantically removing bad paint at present and getting ready for another go, paintwise I've added some minor detail into the folded wing, pipes and control rods and given the operating bits a drop of paint but for now, sadly no pictures I hope to get on that mistake this afternoon but we have an appointment in the Capital of Mercia this morning, I might stretch that visit to cover a rare foray into Hobbycraft for paints... Laters chaps and chapesses ☕☕☕☕ Coffee first 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
