bigbadbadge Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Hi all Some more progress, EDSG painted on, just got to fade the EDSG and paint the canopy frames then can add decals then Avenger at a similar stage, the side windows that are not required have been filled over and deleted Undersides painted on the Sea Gladiator, got to sort out the hinge ends of the arrestor hook recess and drill out holes in the other end . AIMS carb air intake added after it was cut down to size Thanks for looking in Chris 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Lovely paintwork, Chris, the TSS looks fabulous on the Martlet and Avenger, and the Sea Gladiator unders are very nice in their Night/white (I really need to sort out a Night/white scheme!). Cheers, Mark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Looking fine Chris, The Tarpon in particular and your patented fading will only add to the looks. Cheeers, Alistair 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark, pleased with how they are all Progressing, the white looks well white, but it is quite a dirty white in reality.

Cheeers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, both the Tarpon and Martlet have now been faded and some framing has been painted too. Pleased with how they are looking. Will get the old cocktail stick rubbed around the framing to tidy before I post any images though. 3 minutes ago, CJP said: Hi Chris - after all this time I'm still impressed with your brush painted/weathered models - these look really good - can't wait to see them decalled.

Thanks David, I do love the TSS camouflage, the Gladiator is an interesting scheme as part RAF and part FAA as am modelling it after being taken on by FAA after RAF use.
