brodiebear Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Last night I joined the upper and lower body parts and this only needed a 'smidge' of Mr liquid filler then got the brushes out and painted up his scarf and the fur collar, Not as shiny as it looks, but everything needs a good coat of AK's ultra matt varnish; Needs a bit of 'tidying' up where everything meets 🙂 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Steve, just a thought, don't go to heavy with the ultra matt, the scarf would have been silk, which has a natural sheen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 More superb sculpting and casting on the parachute. I spent far to long (again) on something that will never be seen once the cockpit is completed, but an enjoyable hour or so anyway. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Got his leather gauntlets painted up last night, they need a very translucent coat of Tamiya smoke then a semi gloss coat to give them some shine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Control column painted; its another piece of finely detailed sculpting and moulding,its a shame but wont be seen once installed into the cockpit; Boots painted and lightly weathered, just a bit of mud from running to his Spitfire. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Nearly there , just got t to fit his arms into the sockets, may need a bit of push/pull trimming / filling and into the cockpit he can go. Will spray the cockpit side with brown to complete the camouflage this weekend, Green is already down and that will complete the whole project, so hopefully be finished this weekend/ early next week. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
