JOCKNEY Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Apologies, I had great plans to finish this tonight, having managed to retrieve and glue the side window back in, only for lighting to strike twice ! Right after I took this picture, I picked it up and , yes you've guessed it, put the opposite windows in ! So, I am now taking the front back off the aircraft and going fishing for the missing glazing, give me strength. I will finish this blooming thing, it's not going to beat me !

That's the proper Heller GB spirit we all like to see! And while you're at it, glue them in properly this time why don't you 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Right, so having caught up with lots of you about your own builds, perhaps I'd better get my finger out with my own. Having recovered the other side windows and reattached the engine and prop for the second time, I started putting the decals on. Now this was a bit scary as the decals are huge and let's face it, if they wrong, the build is finished ! However the decals behaved impeccably, so I'm delighted to call this one done Let me know what what you think, and I hope you like it.

TonyW Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 That one gets first place in the colourful kit charts! A real eye catcher if ever there was one. Well done Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Superb job Pat! The Caudron looks amazing, and great work on those mahoosive decals too. Not for the feint hearted, and neither is an overall yellow paint job. Well worth the perseverance though, and I won't mention those pesky windows. Always has to be one part of the build that plays up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 That looks really great Pat. Must have been a great relief to get the decals on. And no draughts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Charlie Theres a little bit of yellow paint on a side window, and its staying there I'm not going to risk them falling in for a 3rd time !

Jpthedog Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Looking good Pat. The decals are great but the wing markings with the clear pieces were tricky. See you in the gallery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
