Rabbit Leader Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Two Swordfish dead in the water... that's doubly sad news chaps. So I take it no Swordfish snaps for this GB gallery. Cheers.. Dave (with bottom lip jutted out.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver lining the voodoo will now be making an appearance, heard that fits well so doing the Silver should be easy and quick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Nothing like a smooth finish Stu, Plastic kit sanding does wonders to your tolerance and patience levels! Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Lot more sanding sessions needed, plenty of scratch marks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Found a set of decals for an SEA scheme cheap, so will instead give it a coat of grey primer after the next session and paint the camo once paint top up has arrived, the skyhawk reduced the light grey to dregs Edited October 7, 2019 by PhantomBigStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Phew it’s made it, now just to remember to add it to the gallery later, giving the clearfix windows a little longer to cure would have like to have it on a frog stand, but the rollar ball kept breaking off when inserted into the head 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
