Pollitt Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Looking like a nice start. What paint are you using to get that shade of green? I like the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Bit more done today - closed up the fuselage Then onto the wing and wheel well - the formation lights painted from the inside with clear paints Then fitted the wheel well - not weathered down yet Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 More done today - got the wing fitted. The wings were a bit of a struggle, the fit of the wheel well is pretty tight. Does remind me a bit of the original Eduard 190's with the tolerances. Anyway I needed to sand the top of the wheel wells, and fill a small gap at the leading edge.

Peter Marshall Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Today's work - another Mr Miyagi day, Mask on, Mask off. Got the nose and D-Day / ID Stripes sprayed. As requested, the paints are : Ammo Matt Aluminium for the puttied / painted sections, and Gunze SM01 Super Fine Silver for the other parts Peter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Decals on - not a fun process, they are very thin, not very opaque and seem to want to curl up if you look at them. Also have pretty uneven carrier film which is a pain on the stencils. Peter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 More done this weekend. Started with a light oil wash, which lead to a wierd problem where some of the acrylic silver reacted with the oil (but only in a couple of places), despite being under a coat of varnish. Just resprayed. Anyway moved on and got the Propeller done, and unmasked, and started the weathering process. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Day off today after the Superbowl, so had chance to get some more done. Nearly finished, just need to fix a couple of spots where the Ammo Acrylic Silver has worn away (again). Anyway got the gear on, added the canopy, and some more oil weathering.
