Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, I really enjoyed the Hurricane, such a cracking kit. I may have to get another!!! Don't tell the boss though, I'll be in for it. Will do some photos at the weekend in better light. Chris 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi all A bit of progress on the Anson, wings on and joints taken care of and replacement ribbing added ready for sanding, I made an schoolboy error on the nacelles and put them on the wrong sides so cut them off and made a new slot for e vent pipe on the starboard nacelle and filled the port one and attached them. Currently awaiting the Sprugoo to dry before I can sand and rescribe etc. Thanks for looking Chris 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 That looks great Chris. The glazing and the framing on the fuselage look especially neat. Excellent job! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice save with the nacelles Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, the wings going on was pleasing bur took quite a bit of work to get the wings to match the mounts and filled the joints with sprue goo , pleased with Its how they have turned out. The cutting of the nacelles was nerve wracking!!! 11 minutes ago, Terry1954 said: That looks great Chris. The glazing and the framing on the fuselage look especially neat. Excellent job! Terry Thanks Terry, pleased with the glazing there's 3 coats of interior green and 4 or 5 coats of yellow on the frames after it has dried , about a 8-12 hours the excess was rubbed away with a cocktail stick, it adds to the depth of the frames a bit too.

RichieW Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Excellent work Chris, I increasingly find that the outcome of a project depends mostly on how I correct the many errors I always make. That's a great save on the nacelles. The canopy is a thing of beauty! Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 3, 2021 Author Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hi all A bit of progress on the Anson , some yellow has been applied Added some plastic strip to the tops of the cylinders and will file to size to represent the rocker covers as not present in the kit. Hollowed out the cowling intakes and added some dents I have also started cutting a couple more kits A Skyraider AEW.1, a Chipmunk, a Swordfish and a Tigermoth too, all FAA, so will see how they go.

RichieW Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 That yellow is developing nicely, how many coats do you think it will need? Sounds like you have some lovely projects started while you get the perfect finish on the painting. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, very pleased with the framing, I like to mix it up a bit and have a few on the go at once !!! 1 hour ago, RichieW said: That yellow is developing nicely, how many coats do you think it will need?

Richie Thanks Richie I think it's going to be 6 coats required but I could be wrong by one either way!!! I have decided to start a few as usually I sit there struggling to decide what to build, so thought if I start one or two now I can do whilst I can't do anything on the Annie and I don't have to worry about which to build next!!!

keefr22 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I know you've probably said before Chris, but I don't remember sorry, do you thin the paint, and if so roughly by how much? Anson is coming along very nicely! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anson is coming along very nicely! Keith Thanks Keith, the thinning is not as scientific as for and airbrush I imagine I dip a brush into the thinners and shake it into the paint tin , I usually add 12-16 drops in and go from there really sometimes use less especially when the tin has less paint in . What I go for is not too thin, but it will soak straight up into the bristles and paints nicely. Just don't get too much on the brush . It just takes some getting used to really. Are you giving it a go Keith? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
