In fact, in need to get some ordinary Mr Thinner and save the levelling version!!! Cheers, Mark Luckily I have some of that. It was ordered by mistake thinking it was the levelling stuff.

AliGauld Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 I got some time today to spray some primer. The Port wing root needs a little work but apart from that all seems good. Whilst I had the airbrush out I primed some other bits. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Excellent progress Alistair, looking great with the white flairs too, you should have posed one wing up high sort of 1oclock for a night fever pose!!! Great work Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I could not get my Canopy to fit, so mine is on the SOD for the moment. I bought it since it was cheap, and I like the Wildcat/Martlet. You seem to be doing an awesome job on yours! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much, I couldn't get the canopy to fit either, hence the separate painting and it will be posed open. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 A wee update. Have been stuck at work for the last 5 days while they put new barriers in, Techs swarming all over the place. Today I had some time so.. Some other bits were given some colour. The Propeller tips have been redone as they looked ok until I saw the picture. Paints used were: Colourcoats Sky Type S, Extra Dark Slate Grey, Extra Dark Sea Grey, FAA Yellow and Tamiya Flat Aluminium. Back to work tomorrow so it might be a while before another episode. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark. The last 5 days have been busy with resignalling and testing that. The OD barriers won't be commissioned until next Weekend and luckily I'm on again. Never ever take notice of my Lottery numbers. 😆 Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 I've not had much chance to get much done as work has been hectic. If anyone tries to sing the joys of MCB-OD Barriers then I may disagree. I've got today off and am hoping to get a few wee touch ups done that I've spotted. The wheels and prop will get painting finished. Off Thursday and Friday so I'm hoping to get the transfers on then and we should be close to finishing.

bigbadbadge Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looks great seeing yhe paint on , hope you are not too busy at work fella, can't you tell them there are lots of fellow modellers waiting for this to develop!!! I have been inspired by your thread and have treated myself to a Wildcat kit, although it's the old Frog Mk IV kit. I love the old Frog kits and have a few in the stash now. Thanks for your inspiration fella. Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Thanks Alistair that'sreally kind of you, although I am just an average modeller . The ones that really amaze me are the ones who take some sheets of plastic and some bits and bobs and turn it into an amazing model. I wish I could do that. I will have a look at the Wildcat soon possibly in the next FAA kits I do . Got the Frog Sea Fury too I might cross kit that with a Special Hobby wing as it looks like it might fit or just go old school on it ???

2996 Victor Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hi Alistair, Just wanted to say that she's looking very swish in her Temperate Sea Scheme and full markings: you're doing a superb job! (I'm itching to start mine now, but I've just signed up for the Under a Tenner GB, so it'll have to wait!) Looking forward to weathering.

I'm assuming they got painted over. That's my stroy anyway. 2 hours ago, 2996 Victor said: Hi Alistair, Just wanted to say that she's looking very swish in her Temperate Sea Scheme and full markings: you're doing a superb job!
