AliGauld Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 I present you with the results of two marathon transfer sessions totalling four hours this afternoon and evening. So, that's the underside, wings and Starboard side done. I can't show you the underside just now as it's all been hit with Micro-sol. I had one problem, apart from trying to get stuff in a straight line. The rear Danger Propeller signage was some stuck permanently to the backing paper and I'll need to do some touching up of the hole it left. Apart from that everything went on well. I'm working early tomorrow and might do the Port side when i get back if I have the energy. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the little ones were ok it was the walkway lines that took the time to get to something approximating straight. I'll get the other side done soon and we should be well on the way.

bigbadbadge Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi Alistair I had got rid of the ear worm until I picked up you thread again now I am humming it again 🤪 Decals look great and have settled my initial concerns . I have struggled with some of Revell's Decals previously. Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Nice work on those stencils Alistair. As for the walk way ones I have those to consider when I go to do the Lanc. Stay safe. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Wow, what a difference the transfers make! Well done getting the long walkway lines in place and straight without kinks, bends or tears. Shackleton definitely added to my Want One list.

Thanks Simon, It's more time consuming than difficult as you get one bit right then it moves another further along that you'd sorted but with much swearing and sore backs it gets there. 5 hours ago, Dr. Quack said: Wow, what a difference the transfers make!

Q Thanks very much Sir, There were a couple of tears and kinks but I wasn't going to let it get the better of me. I was planning the other side tonight but 4hrs sleep then a 12 hr shift have put paid to that. Apologies for that to all. I will check last nights work in decent light and see if it needs hit with more softener. Cheers, Alistair 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 After another 2 hr session we have this. For some reason the Fin Flashes decided to break apart as they were applied. No idea what as the rest of the Xtradecal sheet behaved perfectly. The Port outer went back together perfectly but the inner. But I have a plan. I hope to get some paint applied to gear and bay doors later. Thanks for looking, Edit:- I realised that I'd left off a no step stencil from the radome.... It's on now.

Spookytooth Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 All looks good from here Alistair. Some lovely stencils added carefully, especially the ones around the cockpit canopy. Coming along swell. Stay safe. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cockpit window ones were a tad tricky as they tended to get all out of shape coming off the backing paper. Lots of manipulation with a toothpick to try and get square.

AliGauld Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Not much to update today, I'm afraid. I did some spraying and some masking. A wee bit of overspray to correct on the bomb bay door but otherwise all seems good. I'll sort that out when I get the squirty gun out again. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
