Johnson Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 All looks very good Stuart. The more of your KP kit I see the more I like it. Oh dear, another purchase looms... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Next day, next paint. Sky and yellow masked, underside paint on. Stuart 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Major mishap this evening... ...nearly a whole tin of Colourcoats dark green enamel paint splatted over the carpet, SWMBO will not be pleased as the carpet is only 3 years. I must hasten to add, the carpet wasn't my choice, I inherited the room with the carpet when I moved out the shed. Anyways, modelling goes on. Colourcoats enamel Ocean grey and dark green paints on. Tamiya black for the stripes. The black needs smoothing out a bit as it went down a bit dry for some reason. Let all that dry overnight with hopefully a pre-decal gloss coat going on tomorrow.

Ouch! Time to invest in an el-cheapo cover? To tame the carpet monster, I've put a floor protector from IKEA beneath my workbench. Suitably stained with Tamiya XF-1, and nothing on the flooring Edited January 31, 2020 by alt-92 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got most out but can still see the evidence. I hope the mishap doesn’t leed to too much strife! But as you say, ‘the modelling goes on’. Looks very good. Your invasion stripes look fine (I say this A bit ruefully as I’ve just noticed mine are a tad wide, or too far out on the wings on Old Crow. Too late now!’) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By way of moral support I took the Vax to our carpets this weekend at the direction of Mrs RR and found a few spots here and there that only white spirit would remove! Er, I wonder they were?

As long as I don't drop anything on the floor, I don't see it Let's get back to proper stuff... Decals on and settling nicely. Mustn't forget those bloody nav lights i sanded off.

Courageous Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 And here we are... Exhausts in. Sticky-outy bits on; undercarriage, wheels, doors, pitot, prop, canopy and the whip aerial. Their are bits I could've done better, always room for improvement. #1 in the GB is now done. Thanks for tagging along guys. Stuart 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hey, that's a great result. I like this kind of overload of colours. Looking at fine models like yours I start believing that RAF Mustangs can look colourful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
