Alcad 2 Exhaust Manifold ( a rusty red brown) and maybe some Alcad 2 Duraluminium in a 30/70Might add a drop of pale gold too. Not sure yet. Simon.

I forgot that our friends in the East love their TEA. As for the fags, I wish that I did not start back 50 years ago. Simon.

Spookytooth Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 OK folks, a quick update. Decided to paint the exhausts . My mix was... To spray this lot. And after a few light coats, this.. Leave to dry for a few hours and then de-mask and see what`s happened? Coffee break now. All comments welcome.

Spookytooth Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks @giemme, @mdauben and @Adam Poultney, yeah we will see. Well it had to happen, off with the tape. And her she is. I`m happy with that, he metallic hue wasn`t what I expected but it will do. She is off to the hangar for now to cure, before gloss varnishing for decals (Lots of the buggers). Coffee time. All comments welcome. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks @giemme, @bbudde, @Nikolay Polyakov, and @stevehnz for the kind comments, they mean a lot. Right, did a little bit more last night. The nav lights on the wing tips got a touch of X11 before a drop of clear red/green put on the appropriate lights. Also, I forgot to take a pic of the exhaust clams. They look better in real view. Hope to get some varnish on her today. All comments welcome.

Spookytooth Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 OK folks, gloss varnish on the upper sides done, allow to dry now. Just the other side to do later. All comments welcome. Simon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the tardiness but life... Update. Although I have been busy in life, I got this lot ready for priming. Hopefully I will be able to post some more on the weekend. All comments welcome.

Spookytooth Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thank you @SaminCam and @Vaastav, hope all is well. Well, things dry here quickly (Central Heating does the trick) Other side done. Now, I have to be patient and let her dry completely overnight, before the dreaded decals. All comments welcome.
