I don't understand these apologetic posts from modellers who have just become parents. My wife's well aware I'll be back at the bench in no time once we have a little one! :P

 

I'm sorry to see your return is accompanied by yellow and flaky decals, JB. Hopefully you can find a simple, easy solution as I've really enjoyed your build.

Hehe... oh you shall see my friend!

Congratulations!

 

Bummer about the decals.  I tried some yellowed decals once.  Put them in the sun to bleach out the yellow.  But they were still too old to use.

Thank you :)

 

I've hidden most of it with a nice grimey/rusty wash and oil treatment... photo's to follow shortly.

Good evening BM's! I've managed to get a little more bench time and have been quite successful in moving the Griffon forward.

 

First off, she's on her legs! I managed to get all four (five with the tail) touching along with looking almost even. I added some extra details to the landing struts and coloured these dark yellow as per some war paint schemes seen online. This may not be accurate but it makes them stand out and just looks pretty cool in my opinion so I ignored the dark grau as her the instructions.

 

Secondly I added some chipping around the access panels and obvious areas on the airframe such as the leading edges and where moving parts many have not had a decent coat of primer. I then applied my usual oil paint based wash and oil drips, stains etc and as a seafaring bomber added some rust streaks.

 

I may be able to get the matt coat and some finer details such as undercarriage covers and gun turrets added at the weekend :)

 

Hope you enjoy, JB

Hello, I just came across this build. Hard to tell it's not the Revell kit. Excellent paintjob. Congratulations!

Thanks both! I finished her at Christmas last year - here are the final shots:
