Hello Gents,

Frau CC was at work, and I'm about to get my place on the roadside....

Time for a sneaky airbrushing.....

Walkways will be painted with the hairystick, it is still the best way to give some texturing for the paint...

I tried to go for a bit of painted masking tape but it is too thick even for 1/48....

Happy modelling friends....

Still four evening work day to go....

Sincerely.

CC

Looking good already, CC! :clap:

 

Ciao 

Thanks Mr G

 

No modelling today.... :angry::angry:

But the kitty was awol for 8 days, and thanks to a neighbour, Xantho is back home.....

Now wait....

Seemingly, this shot is from yesterday..... Not far from here in the ardennes....

Maybe, Xantho has been probed by some @Martian.....

Hey martian, you can tell your alien's buddy that they are welcome for a pint of rocket Fuel....

So happy you got your cat back, it's horrible when that sort of thing happens, life just goes into limbo. I am so pleased that I shall only sentence you to ten days cessation of beer rations, rather than the ten weeks the scurrilous part of your post wound normally attract. I have enough on my plate as it is with two kittens with Hyperactive Attention Disorder without needing to add cats belonging to Earthlings to my problems!

PS: And don't think I don't know about that stash of booze you have hidden in the Naughty Corner. It has been removed!

That stash of booze ???

We are a bunch of rebels up there....

@LorenSharp and @72modeler are also specialist in smuggling and hiding things :evil_laugh:

Chris @bigbadbadge know his part too....:evil_laugh:

You do have a short memory Earthling. I was a Customs Officer, a specialist in finding things people didn't want found! And, no, I haven't forgotten how to do it. And before anyone mentions it, I mean finding things! Bend over CC ,it's rubber glove time!

Given the general state of my internal plumbing my Dear Alien....

It will be clever to wear not only rubber glove..... Especially if I drank some Chimay , moult included obviously.....:beer:

:poo::poo::poo:

 

Well Gents,

The SHar is almost done.... A bit of weathering but she stand on her wheels....

Now what about the chipping ???

IMG_20220801_190358

Due to the extreme climate conditions, the paint was heavily weathered....

I tried to have something that look like the pic received from Tony O'T

Tony is clearly missed on here....

More to come soon !!

Wednesday, I'll get out with Miss CC

But on my first day of vacation, I got 2 (one would have been too common is'nt it ???) tooth abcesses....

I look like a boxer.... Not the dog....

See you later.

Sincerely.

CC

Hello Dears,

Even with pain hammering my jaws, I spent a bit of time on the bench....

At least my mind is buzy....

But highly failible.....

I knew that the destructions were wrong.....

When I took this shot, I felt that something was wrong.....

IMG_20220802_210617

And when the penny dropped.... It was too late....

:wall::wall:

Sooooo.....

IMG_20220803_002849

Now finding another fin flash.... Of the right size....

I already picked the wing roundels from another kit....

The Royal box Eduard gave the decals for ONE post war Tempest only.....

I hope that the big yellow H restocked the post war roundel decal sheet....

Fingers crossed....

See you on friday Gents !!

Stay safe !!

Thanks Mr G,:rofl2::rofl2:

With the decals around it, masking will be Errrr Acrobatic...

However, I seriously think about it.... :wicked:

Sincerely.

PS: I still need a lot of lessons from our master painter.... I mean ... You !!

I see your point. You could cover the stencils using Post-it notes cutouts (being very low tack) and regular tape for the actual fin flash.

Just a thought :winkgrin: :)

That could be a cunning plan....

Oh man. 😩 I might have some spare decals. What size do you need? 
 

Jont

Thanks John !!

Size is almost a square of 12,5mm

height is around 12,7mmm

But I'll have a look in my decals reserve...

 

I spent 2 days off with my missus, a bit more further in the Ardennes....

I love this place....

IMG_20220804_151320

Around 30°C, the song of the stream.... The bird's songs....And a good Trappiste....

Send Georges back to his coffee machine  :pipe::pipe:

Looks like you had a good time, CC! :thumbsup:

 

Ciao 

Indeed, we did !!

As a pure BMer, everytime I had a good time like that one, I send you both a bunch of good energy !!

 

Hello dears !!

Well, I found a valid donor? Old Hobbycraft Hurricane decal sheet.....

I first gave a coat of decal film on it....

Given the poor shape of that sheet.....

Colors stayed good in water, the blue is a bit darker than the Eduard one, I'll live with that.....

IMG_20220806_221128

Now, the eagle eyed among you have noticed that the upper right corner of the decal is a bit curly.....:dull::dull:

I waited a bit, nerve raking indeed, but it stayed that way, So, I gave a thin coat of decal film once again and GOTCHA !!

This morning, the decals is still well placed....

More to come this evening...

I'll work on something different..... Mood is changing....And I have plenty of started kits....

Thanks @The Spadgent for the offer, Uncle CC is resourceful.... (say it quickly, you goofy CC) :rofl2::rofl2:

Sincerely.

CC

Glad you could save the fin flash CC and sorry to hear of your tooth woes fella, been there recently myself and in the end I relented and went to the dentist and had the offending tooth removed and no pain since, utter bliss.  

Tempest is looking good fella.

It hurt a lot, I hope that is fixed for good...

Now the problem is that I got an abcess at a place where I no longer have teeth...:whistle::whistle:

Why so easy.... But Mrs CC has a lot of tricks and I no longer feel any pain....

Green clay get all the inflamation out...
