I convertd a GR1 to a GR4, wasn't a lot to do in the end, it depends how far into the rabbit hole you want to go. Have you a thread going? like to see it. Here"s the link to my thread: I have now got the green camo on, some minor touch ups to do. The front pilot came out. The location for the ejection seat is vague and, next time I will put them in before closing up the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Oh, blimey, has it been that long since an update? I started June off with insomnia, which meant I could get some work done in the cool of the morning. Ii was able to be productive, took me about 4 back aching hours, starting in the dark and watching the sun rise, hearing the birds tweeting- how they use phones I don't know. All those markings, and I've not even started on the plane itself! All glossed, ready for markings. As you can tell, I've been focussing on one airframe a bit too much lately, must try to bring #2 upto pace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Moving on from getting the weapons all marked, it was time for No1 Airframe.Can I have new eyes please! Oh, and a back, and some patience!! Lots of Bloody Patience! All the common markings: Ignore the colour scheme, I just need the markings map. I think this took me 2 sittings to get this far, 1 more sitting after that, and she was done. I know I was!. At least with 1/72 builds, I can escape all the stencils if I so wish, and it not be as noticeable as 1/48, Slow progress, and as my build area is a conservatory, I need it to be a touch cooler before I can enjoy doing any meaningful build work. The answer? a portable Air "Conditioner" (AKA Big fan with a water tub to 'cool' a room) and life is good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Not much to add, bit I got the duel tanks for T1 done today. Tonka 2 is now on its legs, just needs to gloss. What has arrived are some resin wheels, the kit ones are just awful. Each day is a step forward Started on the undercarriage lighting, this little bugger disappeared. I was resigned to having to raid another kit, when i found it - stuck to the finger, All hail the superglue! There she is, starting to look like she should. Canopy de-masked, and this was the New Ware masks, so sadly I needed to do a fair bit of paint removing and clean up, spo out with Tamiya compounds. Clear parts got a coat of Tamiya Clear, HUD in place, lighting to be added, I just have a fear I'll knock them off. And that's caught up on No1, almost. Time to add the squadron markings, and today's effort, is brought to you by the numbers 5 and 6, and the words ugger and ollocks! 56Sqn markings going on. One side OK - The other, not so. And of course I've already bastardised the sheets I have, so no spares. Off to buy a replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
