stevej60 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Hi folk's,following on from my post last night in chat all the kit seems to be there. So 8AM coffee in hand here we go,going for the Soviet era airline scheme as for this one various holes and a bank of large windows on the fuselage underside don't need to be opened and the white over gray scheme with the rest as decals suits the time constraints,it's all about the painting if it goes pear shape it's goodnight Vienna! Kit wise what a beauty,fit is great and clicks together on a dry run as can be seen,engines assembled after painting the turbines fuselage joined after windows and tail engine trunking etc added.Giving her an hour or two to dry before sanding the seams.9AM photo.

stevej60 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Afternoon folk's,well its been a matter of popping up in the loft for ten minutes throughout the morning and here we are.Sprayed the fuselage white outside but decided with rain due to brush paint the gray which is just about dry.I'm out to get a bit of shopping as the missus has no concept of what a blitz build is about but once back I hope to have her glossed and ready for decals by 5PM.The wheels are painted so a bit of silver on the leading edges and other parts at the end of the build.3.05PM.

Glossed? tarred and feathered would be the word Adrian,after shopping it was "Oh must pop into my Sister's" nearly an hour and a half later we left,this has knocked me well back but plodding on,just leaving the gloss to really dry and the U/C to set hope to have some decals on soon.now 5.48PM.

stevej60 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Good lord decal's surprisingly awful,broke up sadly so I think that's a wrap,doesn't seem as if this Blitzbuild was meant I'll box her up and look for some AM in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Ten out of ten for effort. Finding the decals U/S is a bit of a disaster that can't be salvaged but a brave try none the less. Tony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
