nimrod54 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have made some more progress on this since the last update. I have added a set of Eduard's Brassin exhausts, just a bit of a trim at the back to get the fit right and then some satin black as a base for Vallejo's Exhaust Manifold Metal Color and that was it. The undercarriage has been assembled and fixed in place, and this afternoon I added the poppy decals to the starboard side of the fuselage. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr Before I started this afternoons decaling session I had a go at touching in some of the poppies on the port side as planned. I used some thinned red paint and, with a two-hairs and a freckle paint brush, carefully painted in the larger petal of those on the roundel. It looks OK, so that will be the POA for this build. by John L, on Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try and push on with my builds now because I have a Tiger to build and the FROG GB starts in June. I hope to wrap this up by weekend.

I thought I was in for a quiet year I thought the same thing, but most of the GB's I signed up for are happening in the latter half of the year, and with SWMBO's decision to retire from teaching this year, I can foresee less modelling time. Perhaps she could follow Little H's example and start model making... NNOOO she might be better at it than I am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The touched up poppies look great. Good luck with the rest! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Thanks Adrian. I had planned to wrap this one up over the past week, but it was decided (well someone decided ) that I should take advantage of the drier weather to plant up the troughs and pots. And so domestic harmony was maintained, we will see what this week brings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Some more progress made on this one over the last couple of days. I added the yellow to the leading edges and then sealed everything in with two coats of Klear before painting the wing walkway areas with Revell Anthracite. I have put the final job off for long enough, time to get on with touching in those poppies. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Having touched in the poppies this morning (Revell Aqua 330 was a good match) I finished things off by adding the last few bits tonight. Here are a couple photos of the end result and I will sort out some gallery shots tomorrow. by John L, on Flickr by John L, on Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
