corsaircorp Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hello Dears, So, here we go... White primer for the stripes !! And there's another lady who receive a coat... Better take off your coat, No, not this time Gal, and leave your hat on if you want to !! Â She suit very well in black... And as say a Belgo British singer... Elle adore le noir pour sortir le soir !! Â I think that my surfaces are reasonably good given the orange skin of the KH plastic ! Still some tiny scratches, I will let the primer dure thoroughly !! Well, have a great modelling time !! Sincerely. CC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC Much better than my SH version CC, the canopy on mine was a bit narrow, I should have inserted pins to stretch it over but thought I could get away with it (I didn't).  TBH I should have found a much thinner after-market and replaced it with that.  Looking good now though...

corsaircorp Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hello Dears, As I post this pic, I Wonder myself... Why the hell showing That I painted some white… On white primer ??? This time, I'll let the white paint curing for some days before masking it Then I'll prime the beast in grey… And then Painting… Sky and EDSG !! And stripes It's not really often that I have 2 kits on the painting booth at the same time…. Have a great modelling time, enjoy the Sunday !! Aaaaand take care !! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hello Dears, again some maskings... The firefly is now primed in pale gray ! I will try Something with the Tamiya accent panel line. I will no longer use it since I encountered some 🤬🤬 with this stuff, at least on a painted model... And Oh;;; Some maskings again…. 😰 Funny enough… My dogs are really out of proportions Sirius is really towering over angel…. Now figuring out if he can have her as meal ??? Huh !! Have a great modelling time. Sincerely. CC 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Stuart Hello Stuart, I tried it (the tamiya stuff, not the dog) on a Life color painted kit and it ate the paint Then I tried it on a Xtracrylics painted Spitfire and once again the paint was ripped out.. After that, I tried Flory, Thanks to Johnny the Spad, And I put the tamiya stuff aside. I don't like wasting, so I'll try a preshading with it on the Firebox. A last thing, it's drying very quickly, and thus I found it hard to correct when needed. Sincerely. CC Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hello Dears !! Seemingly, it has worked well !! second attempt only at a kind of pre shading… Let's see !!  Nokya, my great dane, used to have HER car, our tiny Faithfull Starlet seem to be her private coach... But in fact, today, she has to share the already cramped room Her face is really saying "Mom !! what have you done…. Who bet ?? A great Dane AND an Irish Wolf Hound in a tiny Starlet !! Can be called done by Mrs CC Sincerely. CC   8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Hi CC Firefly looking good, great work. Crikey when I was scrolling down I thought you had photographed a Shetland pony next to your dog for a brief moment and to see both large dogs in a starlet is brilliant.  Keep up the good work All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hello Dears ! Now ! That's a great place for ejection pins ! As the part is flat and level, it's easier to correct !!

corsaircorp Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hello Dears, Almost a yearago, this thread started this way …. And here we are today !! Hooops, no sorry wrong pic !!

I've not been very Lucky when it's time to varnish différents brand of paint😰 Whatever, the stripes are Lifecolor Aaaand…. The rocket armour plates are painted in Revell... Well Finger crossed !!

corsaircorp Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hello Dears, another Brit classic car fixed by CC I think that my dear Colleague will appreciate On for new aventures !! However !! this cental Wheel nuts has Always sparked a bit of anxiety for me !! However, I'm sure that @perdu has fixed more of these classic cars since, when I cross the channel, there are far more of these on the roads !!  Months ago, I scratched my head for making a bottle of rum for my Walrus !! Now look, I've got 4 on behalf of the firebox !!  well, I let you appreciate the différences between the Barracuda and the AZ guns !!  for adding the Barra guns on the Firefly, you have to sand down the gun through very carefully, until the diameter are quite the same… moreover, the diameter of the kit parts is also irregular ! Here's the resulting job I put a peg in the gun Now, the guns are fitted Have a great modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
