Marlin Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, The renovation work on our building have been postponed for at least six months, and the plan have been reversed. So I'll be able to continue work on my builds for at least a year from now. I'll continue on my Tornado's here in the normal WIP section. And with the postponement I'll also be able to participate in a few more GB's this year. Old thread. To be continued..... /Bosse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi all. It's high time I took some care of my ongoing double Tornado builds. When the GB ended last year I lost interest in them and concentrated on the Africa GB and my MiG-17 instead. But if I'm to allow myself to enter in both the F-16 STGB and the Fancy French GB's these two must be done by then. And so they'll be. So yesterday evening I sat down and took out my folder of Tornado decals and took out Hahen decals black walkways. 313 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr The first of 12 decals done. 314 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And then I started from the nose and will move aft. 315 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 316 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr At this stage I noticed a slight silvering around the panel lines. So I thought it was best to leave it there, and I put on some Micro Set on them to see if the silvering goes away. If not I got some stronger stuff I can use.

Marlin Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi all. I've now done all the black walkway line on the Götterdämmerungs Tornado. And I think I have got rid of the silvering I had at first. 317 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I thought I had a nice and smooth finish, so I didn't cut the Hahen decals in bits to remove most of the decal film. That was a bad choice and it was what caused the silvering. So on the rest decals I've split them in two or three parts and cut away most of the decal film, and the results are much better. 318 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 319 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I hope to do some more decaling on this one during the week.

Marlin Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi all. I've had a fantastic Ascension Day long weekend. Wednesday was a halfday at work, so we came to the cottage midday on wednesday. And we had fantastic weather. 320 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And what better way to relax after the drive from home, but with a cold beer in the sun. 321 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Soon followed with some smoked shrimps with aioli. 322 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And of course some bbq for dinner. @reini @trickyrich 323 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 324 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr A rib-eye steak for the Mrs and a Wagyu burger for me and Axel. And when your off work for some days it's OK to have a glass of porter in front of the tv. 325 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Since the weather was still sunny dinner was cooked on the BBQ once again. 326 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Some pork sirloin with onions. 327 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Which was served with some ratatouille and roasted potato wedges. But all weekends come to an end. And home again I took some time to continue with the decals. 328 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr Unfortunately is the JaBo33 sheild the wrong one, it should have a white background for an Eighties aircraft, but I didn't have one in my German decal stash. 329 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And then I had to run through every single sheet I have to find some suitable numbers with white borders, and it became 45 + 07, that will be my aircraft. Here's a picture of the original. https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8160629 Then I got distracted. We went home from the cottage on Saturday, because I had to work on Sunday. So on Saturday afternoon I took my youngest son and went out shopping for a new TV. We went from a 32'' 330 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr To an 58'' screen. 331 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr And now can I enjoy this weeks highlights on TV, The Eurovision Song contest, and the World Championsship in IceHockey on a BIG screen.

I've divided my passions, modeling at home and BBQ at the cottage. That way I don't have to choose between them. /Bosse Edited May 17, 2021 by Marlin Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi all. Slowly but surely the work with the decals continue. I've got one side done by now. 332 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 333 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr 334 by Bosse Persson, on Flickr I've used a mix of Revell, two different sheets from Hahen and some Italeri decals to enable me to pick a mix of red and black stencils to get the right look for a late eighties machine. Because of this every single stencil take some time to do when you have to look at four five different pictures before you decide which one to use. But even small steps are progress.

Marlin Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Hi all.
