Dave_R Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi All, I need to pause for after 3 hours ish to wait for the paint to dry a bit. WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB! Dave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Good start there. I agree a natural break place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Great choice of model. Airfix have done a nice job on this. Canopy already masked up and the main 'fiddly' painting done. Great forward planning Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's it building? err... well, I really I haven't built much of it yet - I'll let you know. So the paint is still not dry - very sticky to touch, but I must press on.

Dave_R Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm getting hungry now so a traditional London meal of Pie and Mash, no Liqour though -YUK! - and a pint. (actually the pie tastes better than it looks - it's yesterdays left-overs). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Now that's a proper lunch. I'm on the coffee to keep me going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Hi All, Now it's starting to come together. It's an easy build, a little bit filler required in the places you'd expect - but nothing major. I thought I'd be at this stage by about 11 -12 o'clock - dang paint! so the superhero option is off the table, but otherwise so far so good. Dave.

Dave_R Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Hi All, Well that's it for today. I've rubbed down the seams, applied a little filler, added the aerials and pitot and given the tyres some more NATO Black. On the to do list next is:- Re-paint the Ejection Seat handles On with the canopy Rub down the filler Wipe off the dust with isopropyl alcohol prime mask off the glare panel airbrush with Lt Aircraft Grey gloss coat decals on undercarriage on semi-gloss coat weather ......and relax.

SleeperService Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It's a Law of Modelling that the to-do list will at least double in size by the end. Good work today. That looks a very nice build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yep, once you make a list you are doomed. Let's hope that the countervailing builders laws* take over! Regards, Adrian * we want to get paid, so let's call it done! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 GRRRR! This took far too long. It was hard work to get the paint on - airbrushing blues. Still got there in the end. 8 hours to get the decals on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) It's now got wheels too. The Gloss coat is drying now - so time for lunch. Dave. Edited August 27, 2017 by Dave_R 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
