DaveyGair Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Think I might have time for a quickie (Oooh, Matron!) Since having another couple of weeks before this GB ends I thought I would easily be able to complete this Fulmar with markings from Xtradecal. The kit is on two sprues and looks simple enough, I won't do much to the cockpit apart from seat-belts, unless after looking at some photo's there's something obviously missing. Getting annoyed with the Dornier Do22 I need something 'soothing' to finish off with. Davey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Built this one a while ago, from memory a nice kit but strangely the exhausts on mine were at different heights on each side of the fuselage. Best of luck. Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the Vista mould I'll probably shave a bit off the slot and add some padding on the other side to get them even on mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're correct. Very strange, it means the panel lines are out as well. I'll not take a direct front photo methinks and leave well alone! Here's where we are at, the interior built up quickly, I didn't add anything except seat-belts from Tamiya tape. Once painted I joined the fuselage halves which went together with no problems. The wing was assembled and on initial trial run didn't fit well, but just needed a little shaving at the rear to slot in OK. I think I'll have to do something with the wheel-wells though. Tail-planes went on Ok and seem to need no filler. Davey. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyGair Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Been very lax with photo's on this it seems. Here we are all painted and ready for Gloss and decals, once I get the masking off! The Xtradecal camo-scheme seemed wrong on the port wing view, so I looked at photo's and used the SH kit scheme plans I have. I did something I haven't done for a long time and that was to box in the wheel wells which went really well, don't think it's accurate but I'll take a photo once the paint has hardened off and ready to Gloss. More soon. Davey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ozzy, barring any disasters should be done soon. Here's where we're at. A coat of Johnson's 'Klear' (the modern version by the way which I brush on, dries very quickly and makes your models smell nice!). The Xtradecal markings went on well, this time using the 'Micro Sol/Set system as I have a load still to use. Boxed in the wheel-wells, don't think the step should be there but there would be a plastic bar to remove on the upper wing half that should be done before assembly. They're such big spaces that I decided to do it anyway, normally I leave alone as you can't see them anyway when on display. More soon.

DaveyGair Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Quick update. Got the Matt varnish on and have put some primer on the various parts to finish this. Of course I forgot to paint the under-carriage doors while doing the Sky undersides! More soon. Davey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Here we are all finished. A simple build, after loading the photo's onto Flickr noticed something odd about the landing light, may fix it at a later date. This is my last MTO build, I have loads of other subjects for this theatre of WW2, an MTO IV anyone? Davey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
