kev67 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi, just a quick update, the Goose is now at the stage where I have blocked out all the windows, doors etc and masked the cockpit glazing, which was a pain because of the curves of the windscreen, but got there in the end, it is now ready for its first primer coat using Tamiya surface primer from the rattle can, this will show any imperfections and also I can scribe some panel lines, the primer can then be rubbed down and a final primer coat applied. Once I am happy with everything the floats will be added, and then I can start to add some paint 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweener Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Have been trying on and off to build the rareplanes shrike with little luck. At the rate I am going it will end up as much, if not more putty than plastic. And because it isnt scribed, it will look nothing short of goofy even if I do manage to scrape it together. Guess thats part of the process! Ill be following this one closely. Edited September 13, 2018 by Tweener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not worry to much about scribing though, there is a lot of rivet and panel line detail on the Goose, but I have mostly sanded it back. there are a few Shrikes on this website https://rareplanes.jimdo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not much to show, although I have added the floats and tided some areas up that the primer revealed and rubbed the whole model down, I decided against scribing and will just add pencil lines to indicate panel lines in the end, hopefully soon I will give it one last coat of primer, and then start painting 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Very impressive so far Kev. It should look really good in the RAF camouflage, assuming that's still your preference. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yes it will be the RAF camo version, I have never done a camouflaged model before, all straight lines, so it should be a learning curve for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Coming along nicely. Is this the one I saw and chatted with you at Modelfest recently??

Light bulb moment, why didn't I think of that,?! I've been agonizing over re-scribing a Heller Bf109B/C and in 1/72. Some 2 H pencils would be perfect and you can make as many mistakes as you want and fix 'em, Geezer Kev, I owe thee a fair few glasses of Chardonnay... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
