Retired Bob Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Those straps look very convincing for fag packet foil, as for the cowl seam, just splatter some mud on it......sorry that was a slip back to the Tiger build. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 We have flaps on... Those bits were a little fiddly, and I guess it’ll now remain upside down, for a while. One thing I’ve already learned about aircraft.... You run out of room really quickly... 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Well. It’s still raining, too humid to paint, and also dark now, I did something productive. Watched a few YT vids on canopy masking, and then got down to business. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 Getting a saturated dark yellow was a real pain in the neck. The underside of the nose and rudder are done. These will be masked up. They are lighter IRL. The light is pretty bad, and the photo is dark. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
