What on earth are we all going to do when the GB ends? 1. Cry 2. Look at the stash of unbuilt kits and cry some more 3. Look at the stash and realise that this GB has made you buy more kits, and cry even more! 4. Stop searching those nasty websites for words like 'classic' & 'vintage' Airfix 5. Join the ATF I suppose!

Grandboof Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi All , A little closer to the end . The first coat of Emerald Green is on but looks like 1 or 2 more coats will be needed . I eventually opted to use the kit decals as a template for masking . Hope to have more time to paint tomorrow.

Grandboof Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi All More paint on this week .

Grandboof Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi All Started decals . As expected for 50 yr old sheets they are giving some problems . A coat of Testors decal bonder has helped .I am going to continue with this sheet even if the result isn't the best as I really want this livery . Time will tell . Still aiming for the deadline though . Thanks for looking in Martin H 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventora3300 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 You are getting there, Martin, scheme looking excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 This is looking really good Martin, love that classic Shamrock and Stripe tail. I always thought that this along with the green cheatline was the best Aer Lingus scheme. Keep going mate one last big push and you will make it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Looking great Martin. Looking forward to seeing it in the gallery. My F27 arrived yesterday - much too late for the GB, but I think I'll get cracking on it sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Well done Martin, that is a fine looking model. I have enjoyed tagging along with this one, it brought back memories of my attempt to build it many years ago. I built quite a few of the airliner kits that Airfix produced, and it was these kits that led me into painting my models, my F.27 didn't turn out as well as this though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Well done Martin. This GB would not be right without the classic F-27 being built, so I'm glad it's finished and wonderfully on display. I've never had this kit before, however might just consider hunting one down and adding it to the growing collection of Airfix Classics that have managed to recently add to my growing stash / mound! Cheers and thanks for being part of this very well subscribed GB.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to pick this one up at a swap meet. You could try Scalemates. Hope this helps Martin H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
