Tail-Dragon Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 That's going to be spectacular! How are you doing the underwing serial numbers? Decals or masking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony, I am seeing yellow everywhere now, still got the Anson in yellow to do too. 1 hour ago, Tail-Dragon said: That's going to be spectacular! How are you doing the underwing serial numbers? Decals or masking? Thanks T-D, this one has no underwing Serials and I only have the roundels, the fuselage Serials and fuel tank ports and prop warnings and makers stickers. So decalling will be done in about an hour hopefully. 1 hour ago, Beard said: That looks lovely, smoother than my Mum's custard.

Beard Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Either you've got a very steady hand or that masking was neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Managed to get the decals on the Vampire after stuffing up the rear keep off decals and having to order another kit, a very reasonable priced Revell F3 to use the keep off decals. Looks quite nice Chris 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hi all for Roger this time, I made a bit of a boo boo other front stripe so sanded back the stb side of it and touched in the yellow This has just been painted and the masking removed and it's still wet. Now there is a slight discrepancy with the port side so will do that tomorrow Below are the smooth wheel hubs I made out of three discs of very thin plasticard laminated together and smoothed off around the edges. I am not sure if the style is correct but cannot get a close enough image to confirm so will have to do. Oh and with the hubs is my cockpit framing for my Flycatcher made from brass tube soldered and glued If you did, thanks for looking.

Just got to build up the seat mounts, and Rudder pedal mounts etc, should be fun!!! 7 hours ago, Dunny said: Almost there and looking great! Yes not to far to go. I am nervous now as I don't want to stuff it up. I really want to get the wings on now. I may see later on if I can. Thanks for your support and encouragement fella. 7 hours ago, rob Lyttle said: This is a superb looking Ventura, Chris. Love everything about it ‼️😍 Thanks Rob , it is a bit bright. I must admit I just keep staring at it on the bench thinking it looks lovely. Although I will admit I have tried to space out the stripes correctly, I think I may have cocked up a bit but, I am not rubbing it all off now. If I did that I think the men in the white coats will have to come and take me away!!! Thanks both Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
