robvulcan Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 That primer looks a little bit like Barley Grey to me 1
TheBaron Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Them last few pages are a model of determination and poise Ced - a colourful jamboree that gladdens the eye. Great notion about tracing things on the graphics tablet for masking too.... 2
Hamden Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Smashing result on the underside arrow marking. Roger 1
robvulcan Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 That come out rather well mate. Excellent maskign there 1
CedB Posted March 17, 2018 Author Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks Rob, Chris, Rob, Giorgio, Simon, Tony, Stuart, Keith, Johnny, John and Roger (phew, caught up!) Is it a good idea to apply stencils after a night at the pub? No. Nevertheless, has to be done: Glad that's over. Two Arrows ready for gloss coat later: Time for a lie down now. 12
bbudde Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Hello Ced. They both look very nice. Will they be put under your ceiling or on a clear stand in that position as above. Have a nice nap. Cheers Edited March 17, 2018 by bbudde 2 1
giemme Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Benedikt has a point, Ced: that last shot makes for an enticing pose.... Ciao 3
Spookytooth Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Mount them back to back and label the "The Young and the Old". Simon. 3
Tomoshenko Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Looking great Ced. Good work on the stripes. 1
Cookenbacher Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Wow Ced, you brush painted white onto a gloss surface and it came out perfect! Striking pair of Red Arrows there. 1
CedB Posted March 17, 2018 Author Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks Benedikt, Simon and Giorgio - they'll be on the ceiling but I will try to get an 'action' pose Thanks Tomo, Cookie and Roger, very kind Lights and pitots on after the Aqua Gloss, they'll be ready for some RFI shots on the morning: 11

robvulcan Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 They look god damn gorgeous and it's the first time I've seen the two together. The Gnat is still my fave 1

Judging by the red on this: ... it must have been in the Klear coat?

CedB Posted March 18, 2018 Author Posted March 18, 2018 Now in the RFI here. Thanks as usual for all your help, support and companionship during this build What's next? This April 5th is the 50th anniversary of Alan Pollock's flight through the span of Tower Bridge. I have an old Airfix Hunter FGA.9 and will happily ignore all the accuracy problems with the kit. I need to do some more research but I'll come back here and post a link when I start the WiP. 6
