PhantomBigStu Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Put it together, and done the main sanding and sprayed the first coat of silver over brushed sliver, still got marks to sand out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Spraying been delayed by the poor weather in the uk but done now and painted a few areas ready for the canopy to go on, should also paint the nose blue, but best to do it and the decal once it’s in situ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 And decal ready, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Decals on, now to try and match the blue nose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 And it has failed, closest match isn’t close enough, looks like a careful paint job around the decal will be needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Carefully painted it and the black and silver nose tip, of course seems the correct shade should be much lighter than the dark blue airfix printed the decals in so will have to repaint it a lighter shade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Great work on your F-80. As I'm in the process of getting one of these Airfix kits. Is there anything i should know or look out for ? I know theres a minor shape issue with the cockpit opening ? Other than that anything like fit issues ? Dennis Happy Birthday 🍾🎂🥳 sorry it is a bit late. Edited June 23, 2019 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
