Spookytooth Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Thanks @HAMP man , you cannot beat a butty sir. Update. Paint the U/C, what a pita. I still missed a bit. And the Bulkhead, although most of it won`t be seen as such. A bit rough I know. All comments welcome . Simon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMP man Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 A rivet counter with an endoscope might, but this is tucked up in the nether regions, difficult to pick out with a mk1 eyeball, it's your build, change it if it bugs you Box on Strickers 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still missed a bit. That's why I prefer to paint the U/C pieces on their sprue and then scrap the paint before gluing. Can't wait to see your Martlet done and on its wheels.

Spookytooth Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Thanks @CedB, @giemme, and @Sturmovik, yes I could of painted then glued but it was a pita fitting it together so went this way instead. Update. Glued the U/C to bulkhead. After several dry fits, sanding here and there, came to these pics. Last shot of the inners. Before applying glue and buttoning up. And head on. Use of the cowling ring plus tail plane was handy to. Leave to set for a while before next op. All comments welcome . Simon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Chubby little thing but it's coming together nicely. Just one observation, is one of those legs longer than the other in the last pic? Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Smart internals, the pit looks great! Almost ready for paint outside, wings should be straightforward with virtually no filler, hopefully! Are you going to go for a worn look or a fairly new paint job on her?

giemme Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Nice job closing up the fuselage, Simon Those seams don't look too bad, especially the top one Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Don`t panic @Courageous, I had a pair of locking tweezers holding the back end together. Thanks @Bugle07, not sure on the finish yet, but poss cleanish... Cheers @giemme, the seams are not to bad , may get away with a heavy coat of Primer filler. Update. Tail feathers on. And the wings too. Going to let those set tonight, then any remedial work tomorrow. All comments welcome. Simon. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks @giemme, and @CedB, full speed, well nearly, and seamless, nearly. A couple of bits to address there. Update. Engine done and fitted. Cowling on. And there she is. Just the exhausts, canopy and other small bits to fit. Next up, a little remedial work on the underside, then ready for priming, I think.

Spookytooth Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 OK folks. Update. Seam gone, I think? Windscreen fitted, a little Revell Contacta plus TET.

Bugle07 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Strange, where did they come from? I had issues with the underside but thought it was just my ham tiredness. PPP and gentle sanding will see you right. Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Great work Simon. This looks great. The kit detail looks great so a thumbs up to Airfix too. I am going to have to get one of these myself. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think most of the new tool Airfix come with a pilot, Martlet and the Tiffy do. Great engine by the way Simon, forgot to say earlier!

J Sherratt Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This looks really good - I've one of these kits "in the queue" waiting to be built, this will be helpful - thanks. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
