theplasticsurgeon Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 One of Tim's Top Tips: Black electrical insulation tape for the inside canopy sills, and internal frames. Then infilled with Acrylic paint. And fitted to the model. Tomorrow, masking and hopefully airbrushing weather. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't normally bother with internal framing colour - so this is a first. It was well pressed down though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all love a big burly yellow bird and this ticks many boxes.. it’s been great to watch from start to finish. Don’t those stencils change the look of things. Cheers and great to have you on board..
