Hockeyboy76 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I found the Bulldog, but it was missing the decals and instructions. I obviously stored them somewhere safe where I would remember, and now I have forgotten Anyway I did find this Any guesses which scheme I will be building Edited March 31, 2019 by Hockeyboy76 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Another colourful subject Best of luck finding the Bulldog instructions and decals as the two would look great together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Looks like a Tucano As you can see, a bit of filler was needed. I did a dry fit of the crew, they sit too high and stop the canopy sitting right, and that’s after they have been “adjusted “ by Airfix They fit now after some serious bottom surgery Edited February 24, 2019 by Hockeyboy76 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Ripple-ing continues, just very slowly, my Hum174 red takes ages to dry properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Looking good H. If you are having problems getting your paint to dry, it may be worth trying some Colourcoats Enamel Thinners from Sovereign Hobbies. They have a minimum order limit but you may find some of their paint colours useful on other projects - an alternative could be XtraColour thinners. I have had very few drying issues when using either of these products to thin paints for brushing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Lovely work H Another alternative to Johns suggestion is leave overnight in the airing cupboard or use Mrs H's hairdryer when she's not looking ! Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockeyboy76 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) @nimrod54, @JOCKNEY, Thanks guys. I did some “serious thinnin” (No G) to Steve Wright’s Serious Jockin (No G) on the BBC sounds app. Mrs H says I’m free to use the hairdryer, although the spiders in the shed where the boiler is have objected to the paint fumes.

Hockeyboy76 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Rippling has been completed. Varnish is the latest thing to fight me on this build. Went back to good old Klear on the underside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are only allowed to use the hairdryer if it matches your missing pink scalpel, and I want to see photos. Looking very good mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
