Col Walter E Kurtz Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Well Done Revell! My compliments on an excellent and speedy service! They sent me the entire clear sprue as a replacement! and the Post Office didn't ask me for any money to pay to release the package to me. Maybe i am now a fugitive from HMRC Tax inspectors for £1.99.. sue me... LOL 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) First pass with the RAF Ocean Grey .. Hataka paint. Will do another pass and then use the blue tack method to mask the RAF Green 2 which will be Tamiya.. same as my recent RAF Mosquito! Need to have a look at it during the daylight to see the areas of thin coverage. Edited March 12, 2021 by Col Walter E Kurtz 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 The great masking reveal ! Getting there. This is a dry fit after some tidy ups.. Still a lot to do before the topside is finished 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Walter E Kurtz Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Will redo the yellow leading edges not quite equal on both wings! I think I'd do these after the cammo as is my usual method as being curved a little harder to judge the curve correctly on both sides. This was done using the flexible masking tape Edited March 14, 2021 by Col Walter E Kurtz 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who she was exactly but i'm guessing his 'True Love' at that time. Case solved! Apparently she was a Canadian young lady. I was talking to my cousin, daughter of my Uncle Peter and she confirmed this was the case She remembers her coming to visit my uncle and aunt with her husband sometime in the early 1960s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on the model too fella Chris Thanks Chris. The additional pics of Uncle Peter are nice indeed. Its not long until the 18th of March. This being the day 76 years ago that the young and very frightened Fighter Pilot joined his squadron on active service. I'll be toasting him on that day and I hope those following will do likewise! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
