hendie Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 thanks folks. this is on hold for the moment as the decals got lost in the post and the supplier is now out of town for a few days. He was the only supplier I could find in the US so I have to wait for him to get back in about a week or so and then find out what's going on. Lots of stuff going missing recently - A 1/48 Hawker Hart, Decal sheets and 10 bars of treacle toffee... make of that what you will 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Obviously the USMail man is stocking up for the siege, unless you bought them from Blighty in which case, ditto The Post Office over here Treacle toffee huh, look for somebody with teeth even worsererer than mine... 😱😟😞 😷😷😷😷 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 The white transfers finally arrived yesterday - after I had raised the "non-arrival" issue of the transfers with the seller and received a refund. Being the honest type of guy I am, I emailed him this morning and informed him that they had finally arrived and I wished to pay for them. So while working from home due to some virus or other I took a few minutes break and ended up with this. and surprisingly, the same on the other side. Those transfers can settle in with some micro Sol/Set stuff and at the next working session I can squirt some clear gloss on there before the final matt coat now on to some train stuff while I'm still on a "break"! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think I'm working more at home now than I did in the office 😆 Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Crossing the finishing line Gloss coat this morning to seal in the transfers, then matt coat about an hour later Which meant that the very last job on the list could be crossed off - adding two aerials on the booms. These were made from stainless steel wire. I considered painting them black, but the few photo's I have which shows that there were aerials in this locations shows them as a light color. At the risk of splodging paint on the fuselage somewhere I opted to leave the wire paint free. Now follows a bunch of shots from various angles This angle I quite like Masking came off the canopy quite easily for a change. I'm glad I took the effort to mask in the actual glass shape and not simply follow the kit lines which were wrong There folks! That's all. Done and dusted. Now to move on to something else - primarily the train but I'll need to figure out what the next aircraft build is to keep me sane when the train overpowers me 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
