Anson rear wings going on used some brass tube as a spar

There has been some yellow paint.  I have cut the slot  from the starboard nacelle for a vent and put some dents in the cowlings.

Thanks for looking in

Hi Chris,

 

The oil wash has really popped out the detail on the Hurricane - looking great! I fear you are in for the long haul with the yellow paint 🤣

 

Cheers,

 

Roger

Thanks Roger, the Hurricane is very pleasing to the eye now, will matt varnish in a day or two for final weathering.

I will attach the Annie wings very soon and the paint may go quicker than you think then , I hope🤪😄

I still think you must have the patience of a saint to brush paint that much yellow....!! 

 

Hurricane looks great Chris!

Thanks Keith, hopefully the Hurricane will be finished very soon.  It's strange how you can have patience with one thing but not another,  get me in a queue on a phonecall and my patience soon wears thin, but multiple yellow coats on a model, no worries at all.  I just have some fettling on the nacelles then I can add the PE bits to the fuselage and wings, koin the wings and get some paint brushed on .  I am really looking forward to that bit. 

Thanks Keith

I'm the same with jigsaws, my missus loves doing them - if I manage to get three pieces together before chucking it back in the box it's a result....!! 🤣

Once again showing your wizardry with a paintbrush Chris 👏👏👏 Hurricane looks brilliant, Anson shaping up well too 👍

Thanks Alan pleased with the Hurricane,  Anson is hopefully going to speed up now as all the little bits get sorted and added 🤞

Chris, thanks for this amazing thread. Thought it was about time I caught up through the whole thing and it was worth it! Superlative modelling, and you are truly a Jedi of the paintbrush :worthy:

Understated as ever! Hope you're very pleased with the results so far 👍

Chris that is so beautiful.

I'm going to need to invest in a Thesaurus to find something new to say other than being blown away.

 

Cheers,

Pleased with it? I'd be over the moon if I got a result like that with my airbrush! 

 

Top job Chris!  :thumbsup:

 

Keith

Thanks Keith, that's really kind.  I did struggle with the squiggles and couldn't get them any smaller , the airbrush would definitely have been advantageous there.

Thanks Alan for those very kind comments and thanks for all the likes.  I just need to think what to make next???

The wings are on the Anson now and I have an RWD-5 on the go too. Will have to see!!! It's gonna be more FAA.

 

Thanks for the kind comments

Wow, big catch up on this one Chris.

 

That Hurricane looks spectacular, and I love the work on the Anson. Your painting technique is top class IMHO.

 

Great stuff indeed.

 

Terry

Thanks Terry,  very kind.  Pleased with the Hurricane and now the wings are set on the Anson it hopefully will progress quicker now.

I do love the painting part.

 

Thanks

Thanks Tony , the Hurricane is a cracking kit and was a joy to build. Just cleaning up the wing to fuselage joints and hopefully can get some paint on.
