Doccur Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Thanks @LDSModeller! Very helpful indeed Last night I discovered there were two sets of flaps with this kit... brain fart moment! So with a little surgery removed the ones I had installed ‘up’. I’ll paint the other set seperately to avoid the masking dilemma. I chose to do this as most aircraft seem to have their flaps down on the ground. Something to do with the hydraulics, or so I’ve read.

Doccur Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 Hi all. Busy prepping this one for primer. Got some sprayed on today using the Vallejo polyurethane grey primer. Worked a treat. Going to wait for this to set properly before spraying some silver on the wings tomorrow. Cheers Ash 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 How did you find this to spray? I sprayed the poly black primer once and it totally clogged up the airbrush and it took a major strip down and clean to sort it out. AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi @Andwil Personally I didn’t have any issues. Might thin it a tad next time I use it though. No clogging or drying on the tip. I’ve had issues with this with Xtracrylix but not this. Hoping their metal colours work alright. Cheers Ash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Hi all, happy valentines 😉 This afternoon I sprayed the silver for the wings and elevators. Going to wait 12 hours at least as per recommendation for the paint to cure completely. Then a fiddly masking jobby before I can do the bare metal for the rest of the aircraft. Now... off to have some wine and food with the missus!! Cheers Ash Edited February 14, 2020 by Doccur 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 On a D I can understand, but an A-36 without stores pylons just ain't natural! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doccur Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi all, masked up and sprayed Vallejo chrome onto the bare metal areas. Sprayed very well indeed. I’m liking the subtle variation between the silver and the chrome. Next I will be spraying a slightly darker metal colour around the exhausts and the black anti glare panel. Then onto decals and weathering! Cor this build is going quick 😳 P.S i rectified the absence of pylons @RidgeRunner🤦🏻♂️ Cheers Ash 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Nearly ready for decals! I hope to have this finished before long (barring any slip ups) 🙄 Cheers Ash 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi all! And I’m done! What a quick and enjoyable build. Thanks to all those who assisted with references and @RidgeRunner for the cuffless prop and rocket stubs. I shall take better photos and put in the gallery at some point this week!
