rob Lyttle Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Typhoon is looking great. The teeth decals around the front look like quite an elaborate operation with many curves. Well done on that! 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how people are meant to put decals on with just water. 🙀 Almost done now. I need to do some RFIs when it stops snowing. 🤣❄️ On 11/04/2021 at 19:38, giemme said: Belated happy birthday, Johnny boy! Gotta love a shark mouth, and this is coming out really great!

The Spadgent Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Good evening everyone. As they say all good things come to an end. I knew this was going to be quick but this is almost @CedB pace. (Well, Maybe not that fast) 🏃♂️💨 I don’t get much time at the bench due to work at the moment but every stollen minute is a joy! This morning I got a snap with all the decals on. Such a lovely shape. 😍 She’s got a gloss coat last night so now I can weather her. Flory time. 🤩😀😇 I used a wide brush and used it decanted into a flat dish. the bits and bobs also got some action. The last few bits also got a wash. I’ll need to add some black tamiya wash to the exhausts and legs after knocking back. I’ll also need some Tamiya weather powders. But only a few touches. One more session and she’ll be there: knock back; powders; matt coat; unmask and done. 😇😊 Before I go I’ll let you into what’s next. you’ve probably noticed a few builds around here for the 453rd Museum. Well this is what I’ll be Building for Jim. There are some extras in the box too. 🖤🤍 Ooooh exciting. Take care folks, thanks for dropping by and as always. Happy modelling. Johnny. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Heyyy youuuu gguuuyyyssssss! Apart from the Red and green tip lights we’re done! 😍 Once again I’ll sign off completely when I manage to get around to the RFI. That makes two I need to do now. The sun is getting warmer so photo time is looking more likely. 📸 so any way down to the nitty gritty. I spent some time knocking back the Flory wash to how I wanted and popped on the props. The bits and bobs (tm) got the same treatment. The UC started coming together. The main airframe then got a protective matt coat. The UC then got glued in place. Which reminds me, I need to add some TET to the wheels as they are just pushed on at the moment. The Canopy popped off with only a little touch ups. The masking came off too. Mmmmmm shiny. The exhaust stacks got glued in after a black wash. I really like the way they fitted. The belly got pebble dashed with detail. And eventually she’s up on her pins. ❤️ In this shot you can see I’ve been a little lazy and painted the wing tip lights chrome. I’ll clear colour them tomorrow. To be fair I think that works well at this scale. I couldn’t decide what to do with the canopy so I’ll leave it unglued so I can move it about when I get bored. Lovely. 🤩 I’m happy. I sincerely hope she’s bought a smile to your face Alain @corsaircorp . On top of that I hope if you followed along you enjoyed the build too. I have my first Covid Jab tomorrow so it’s all a bit exciting. I’ll see if I can get the Pony thread up as I’m already fiddling plastic and finding it hard not to start. Thanks for tagging along it’s been a real joy to build this little wonder. I’ll post links and what not here do if you fancy the Mustang build I’d love to have you all along. All the best and as always. Happy Modelling. Johnny 🦈 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
