AdrianMF Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Dinghy looks pretty much spot on in size. Rigging looks good too I'm sure you have a plan but FWIW crumpled-then-straightened silver foil can be a quick win for a sea base...

Adrian Hills Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Aftermarket decals split ! So I have used the original ones from 1974 - after all they did pass the Roobios tea test and survived. Now a break for lunch and taking the lad out for a bike ride. When we get back I just have three figures to paint, fit tail struts, paint and fit canopy then assemble the 'diorama. I think I might make it in time as I still have three hours left in my modelling budget ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Hills Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 The last session started later than I wanted as after the evening meal my (cooked by my lovely lady) she wanted to take the puppy for a walk. Which was fun - and the food was 'as usual' - Delicious ! Just over an hour later I am done FINISHED !!! (Twenty three hours and five minutes in total) (Sorry Hammond wanted to get in the picture too) "C'mon lad" said the rescuer to the downed Spitfire pilot Stanley Atkins. "You can make it" And He lived to fight another day. Like I hope we will all do....... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
