Hutch Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Looking really good JB. I've got the same set of decals in the 'pending' pile as the history of the real airframe is an interest to me. My father was an RAF engineering officer at RAF Broadwell during 1944-45. The airframe was with 575sqn and he would have dealt with any issues it had as he was daily duty officer working with Daks. He missed out on D-day but was there for Arnhem, when he was awarded a MiD. I knew about the MiD but only found out about Broadwell 15 years after he passed away and whilst I was living 4 miles from the airfield. So, I'll be following this closely and hope to emulate it.

busnproplinerfan Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Did you used the glue to fill the gaps on the side windows? or make the whole window with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole window was created with the glue. The decal doesn't have window openings in, so I omitted plastic windows, which would have to be fitted before the fuselage halves are joined. I though is would be easier to place the the decal and when set cut the window opening out with a sharp knife. I have used Micro Kristal Klear to glaze before, but found Deluxe's Glue'n'Glaze easier, mainly due to the very fine nozzle applicator on the bottle which gave me more control.

busnproplinerfan Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Sounds like a good glue, I used Kristal clear and had a hard time getting it to defy gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 With the deadline looming, I am calling this one finished. Looks better when view from a distance! Just need to find somewhere to keep it as is doesn't fit in my display cabinets. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
