John Thanks John, just plodding along, got all the the sanding done. (I hope) just going to shoot some black on it to see how they look. Then on to re-riveting it...

Thanks gingerbob, mainly the kits work tbh I just blasted it with Vallejo yellow chromate and then used AKs panel liner for desert aircraft. Rescribing is a real pain I just go with getting the general area looking 'right' life's to short haha 10 hours ago, Thom216 said: Agreed, nice wells! Thanks Thom!

Joss Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 So abit more progress. Been filling, panel lining and riveting. There's the centre line but I'll shoot some black paint on and see how it looks! I've also done some work on the landing gear. I've added some stretched sprue to simulate brake lines. Thanks for looking All the best Joss (Can't get rid of this picture \/ \/ ) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 So she's all primed, managed to catch my finger on the model as I was taking a photo so will have to sand and respray once fully hardened. I think the rescribing is ok just have to wait and see when laying colour down. Might spray it duralumin then lay the colours on top. Thanks for letting for looking. Any comments, suggestion or constructive criticism welcome. All the best Joss 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Happy with how the silver came out so in going to try a nmf aircraft probably miss Steve. Not going to be 100% accurate but I'm enjoying myself Thanks for looking Joss 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite so Johnson, I found I was getting dispondent trying to get a perfect model so now I just try to do the best I can! Here's a picture of her with her theatre markings on. Just got to get the invasion stripes on and the nose and tail colours. Post picture, I've got the olive drab on but need to lighten it up so that should be tomorrow's job.

Joss Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Rightio everyone making abit more progress. I need to tidy up the invasion stripes with a brush. I've started getting decals on and slowly getting towards wrapping up this model Thanks for looking. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Joss Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) After some time away from this project I finally got back to it. The main decals are on. I'm not 100% whether to add the stencils, I'll probably go for the major ones Here's a few photos, it doesn't show the finish in these photos but I'll crack out the DSLR later and hope for the magic orb in the sky to finally appear. Just the inner landing gear doors to add and the main flaps. Then onto the fun part, Weathering! I adjusted the front landing gear so it sits more upright. I'll take a photo later but I compared them against two tamiya kits and she seems to sit at the same angle.

Toryu Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi Joss, A little hint as I built an earlier version of 'Miss Steve' some years ago here. The counter balance of the rudder was also painted blue and there was some spray of the blue onto the stabilzer, so no sharp demarcation line at the rudder post. Just in case you want to adjust it.

Cheers, Michael Hi Micheal, just had a look at your build and she's stunning. I think I'll run the paint brush to change that line. Some interesting differences. The Eduard kit doesn't contain all numbers for the serial on the tail and the extra kill markings as well. Thanks for sharing! Thanks Joss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hi Joss, I‘m happy I could help. My ‘Miss Steve‘ is not an earlier version as I wrote erroneously, but a later one with invasion stripes removed. So less kill marks for your model would be correct. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Good monring Joss Very good job so far she looks great with the decals on .. All the best Patrice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Thanks guys, I have had a bit of a hiccup, when I was removing the majority of the washes I accidentally stripped of a large section of paint on the wing 😒 I think it's fixable but it's going to take me time to sand it down and get it nice and smooth to repaint again so unfortunately I'm not going to finish it in time. I will post my model up in the RFI when I'm done with it but for now I have to apologise and wish everyone else the best of luck!
