bbudde Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Looking nice Simon. I don't know, why you think the undercarriage wouldn't be visible that much. I think it does on that, so good to see you treated it well. I once bought a Tamiya one for a low budget on a flew market (2 € or so ) which was started on the interieur and I thought about that then. Some little parts were missing, I guess and it still stays in the attic since that around about for 15 years till now.

Spookytooth Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Thanks @giemme, @CedB, @bbudde @825. Things are moving. Update. Decals started. Still the small ones to do on the uppers plus a few on the underside. Hopefully tonight. All comments welcome. Simon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Well folks, I didn`t get them done last night but... Update. I did today, almost. Some reacted well to the setting solution (Revell`s). Only 4 on the underside. Including these little buggers. And these on the wheels, just done. That just leaves the prop to do later, I have just painted the tips so once dry that will be done. All comments welcome. Simon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Thanks @giemme, @CedB, and @The Baron, I am trying my best, and for once I got all the decal;s on, even in the right places too!! Sorry for a slow reply , but I ended up in hospital for a couple of nights. Picked up some bug which had me glued to the toilet seat for 24 hrs, I could not trust a f***. But anyhow, I am out again and done a bit more. Gloss varnish over the decals, I used Tamiya X 22 this time. Then after drying the "black wash" attack. Starboard wing done here to show comparison. Uppers done. Lowers done. And a bit of dirt around the exhaust for now. I am going to let that lot dry for a while before a little more messing . Time for tea soon. All comments welcome. Simon.

Cookenbacher Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The Martlet is looking grand Simon, and glad you are no longer tethered to one spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Good to hear your feeling better than you were! Decals look great, and a really impressive finish on the paint. How much weathering are you thinking of doing? Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Excellent progress, Simon And I am glad to know you are feeling better Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks @giemme, @Courageous, and @Bugle07. I have decided to limit the weathering to just that wash as I did not want to spoil anything. Update. Flat varnish applied top and bottom. Also the main U/C doors, which went on quite easily. But when I unmasked the windscreen..... OH Bum, never mind. Just the wheels, prop, aerial and pitot to add and she will be ready for RFI.

Courageous Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Looking very nice Simon, nearly at finish line. Besides the obvious gremlin that got to your glazing, an observation if I may. You have weathered your model, but did you weather the undercarriage doors as they look rather clean.... Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Well spotted Stuart, I still have the pitot to paint as well, but I will give a dusting of weathering on the doors. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
