JOCKNEY Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 I used scrap plastic card to build the gaps up, between the canopy and the rest of the fuselage, then realised it needs filling to try and even out the profile. This is the current work in progress Hopefully when this drys out, it's won't look quite so bad ! cheers Pat 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Time for an update, the Dauntless reappeared from beneath the filler and painted, along with the walk strips which unfortunately had a few masking issues. Decals next, plus another canopy clean up, from filler dust. Cheers Pat 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Brave man adding the aerial before the decals, I’d be guaranteed to break it during the decal application handling! AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosee1974 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi I’ve got this kit on my bench at the moment. I was going to use it at as a practice kit to hone my scratch building and chipping / weathering skills.....but I love the aircraft so I’ve pulled it apart to get serious with it so this is a really useful post thank you! i’m doing it in USN colours - do you happen to know what colour the aircraft was primed in before getting its combat colour scheme?
