AliGauld Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi There, I bought this at Scale Scotland Murrayfield last year and have been scared stiff to cut the wings ever since. I finally stuck my courage to the sticking place and got on with it. This one is a little personal as the home base for 809 NAS was HMS Fulmar and as it's close to Dingwall this makes her one of mine. Primed with UMP Grey Painted with Colourcoats Extra Dark Sea Grey, Light Aircraft Grey and Light Admiralty Grey, AK Xtreme Metals Aluminium, Lifecolor Dark Admiralty Grey, Tamiya Rubber Black and Desert Yellow. Washed with Citadel Nuln Oil and Flory Dark Dirt. Finished with Windsor & Newton Satin Varnish. I really enjoyed this one but didn't plan it very well, when I build the next one it will be better. As always, Thanks for looking and all comments and criticism are welcome. Cheers, Alistair 57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much. I can't take all the credit for the paint job as most of the plaudits have to go to Colourcoats as it's very easy to lay down and even an idiot like me can achieve a reasonable result.
