silverkite211 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I built the 1/48 scale Classic Airframes Wyvern a few years ago, it was an "interesting" (cough) difficult build. However I'd say that had a moderately easier time of it than you have had with this kit. You have done well with the sorting out of the issues that you have encountered and it is looking really great, I look forward to seeing the RFI post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwing serials read "Right wing from the front" i.e as in aircraft flying towards the observer, looking at the starboard/right wing Hence then left wing reads properly if flying away from the observer. More of that 'oft remembered tosh' from my distant past but should be visible on the instruction sheet too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Port side this morning: Whata lotta little stencils - ugh! As usual I used Bill's tip of drops of water on the stencils so you don't lose them in the water: Done: Posting that was a quick rest from application. Other side now. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Well I don't think this is right: I've already put 31 ("Emergency release other side") on the other side so I guess it should be 27. If they should have been reversed please post - it'll make me sad but help others… Done: Worryingly there are some stencils left over: I guess they're for other schemes or something. Nice transfers though. They went on and settled well, perhaps too quickly with MicroSet. Nice and thin too. See how the yellow shows through the white on the roundel… I'll let that dry overnight then I need to paint the exhausts and varnish.
