Thanks craig , Cheers all, I've given it a first coat of shiny silver and I'll mask off some panels for a bit of contrast next Hole in the bottom for a stand 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Thanks for the great comments, I've done some panels in a different shade to take away from one overall colour, I've also sprayed it with a gloss coat to make it easier to handle without damaging the shiny bits, Next the antiglare front and the tan bits, I'll probably mount it on its stand too before i decal and do the panel lines a couple of pictures 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Finally completed this lovley little kit, really happy with how its turned out , I've enjoyed actually finishing a gb too my completion history has been a bit poor of late, thanks to all who've liked ,and commented, and @Wezi appreciate it , I weighted the little stand with some thick gauge lead flashing glued under the stand to give it a cantilever look, and put it as far back as i could without it tipping forward 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Well that turned out excellently Glynn. The metallic finish looks perfect and the stand sets her off a treat, really accentuates the sleek lines of the design. Very well done mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Michael Thanks micheal, i tried to make it look faster by attaching the stand near the back of the fuselage so it appears to be speeding off than the stand,it sort of works 22 hours ago, CliffB said: Congratulations - that's a stunner! 12 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Thats looking real good. 12 hours ago, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Thats looking real good.
