Marklo Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Side consoles. The aim is to improved in the kit interior, but it won’t exactly br super detailed. Lots of lead. A bit more detailing. Fuselage being beaten into submission. The interior will need a bit of detail painting and of course a stick and an ejection seat, but they can wait. Next step will be assembly of the sub components and the rescribing … 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 molded the refuelling tanks. And started cleaning up the joints. Now a minor dilemma; for shelf space considerations I’m thinking of having the wings folded, but as molded on the kit the detail is nonexistent, now the fold mechanism would be extremely difficult to scratch and tbh unless you’re leaning down eyeballing it the detail isn’t really all that obvious, so I’m going to leave the outer wing segments loose, see if I can bodge up a semi realistic fold mechanism and if it looks awful just stick the wings on extended. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) A coat of rattle can grey on the assembly to check the joints and to ensure I’ve sanded off all the raised lines, it will also give me a better surface to scribe into. Still a bit tacky so I’ll let it dry for a bit more before commencing the scribing, probably my least favourite modelling task… Edited January 22, 2022 by Marklo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 You don't need aftermarket as your cockpit looks pretty decent and miles ahead of what's in the box. You top trump me with vac-forming though. Scribing is not my favourite thing on aircraft but AFVs and similar no worries... Good luck Sir I salute you. Looks like I need more filler too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the fit was pretty good and I think most of the filling was self inflicted, by not fettling the ip down enough. My weapons of choice madworks carving guide tape and a steel tipped scribe I also use an RBtools scribe -R and I have a rivet-r hidden away somewhere. Mind as most of my builds are vintage aircraft I normally only have the odd aileron to do. Edited January 22, 2022 by Marklo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Noticed this on a decal sheet from an ESCI F100 ( bought for the Century fighters GB) that I have set out to bleach back to clear on my windowsill. Might make a copy and use it for the main ip on the fury. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That's a good observation for the IP if it doesn't work then nudge me and I'll send scans of the manual drawings which you can use if you need it. I'll search out that tape as I have a planned project it will be very useful on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Tanks trimmed, glued, filled, sanded and ready for paint. You can see the kit tank in the foreground. Must crack on with that scribing…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 A bit of a difference there. Nice work. What are you using for reference when scribing? I've got the tape ordered as earlier. Thank You for linking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) After scribing, some assembly and a bit of paintwork. White from a rattle can followed by clear varnish from same.

Marklo Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Working on the artwork for the decals ( and for the sage as well) Just need to scale the letters then duplicate and print on clear decal film. Starting to love Amadine app. Google fonts Aldrich used for the fury and Enriqueta medium for the sage.

Marklo Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Masked up for hull grey Unmasked but quite a bit of the white chipped. Nothing else for it I’m going to have to sand it back and repaint a pity as the grey was pretty good. Also, anyone else finding it hard to keep the undercarriage stuck on? I can see myself having to drill the various oleos and pin them with brass rod very frustrating. Edited February 17, 2022 by Marklo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I feel your pain with the undercarriage, I've found the line between a good join and dissolved goop is quite narrow. For the white just flat it back with fine paper used wet, very wet. Once the chips are smoothed and the whole surface matt start again but only varnish when the colours are all applied. If possible I always remove masking as soon as the paint is surface dry but still flexible, very rare to get any lift. Wet paper towel in the cockpit will prevent any overspray getting inside the glass. It's coming together well nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 I’m my own worst enemy here I hate painting white so went with a rattlecan, which just didn’t stick properly. Regardless it’s now sanded and primed for another go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Just a matter of 'recovery' Marklo, we've all been there when things go pear shaped so nothing to worry about. There's still plenty of time left so just take your time and it will all sort itself out. For the record, I hate spraying white too! Cheers..

Dave In that you're with the vast majority of spray painters world wide. Following a dark blue or red in a car assembly plant often resulted in some strange pastel effects. Glad to hear that you've won this battle Marklo. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Back to gull grey. I’m going to spray grey then white then Dayglo red this time our. After a little post shading. I’ve also attached the pylons including the new ones for the refuelling tanks. Edited February 22, 2022 by Marklo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Tanks sprayed white. Fury sprayed white (thank heavens, that felt like hard work ) After trying the Humbrol Dayglo I’ve decided to give the red areas a coat of flat red. After some very careful brush painting, I’ll give it a few more coats then rub it down with some very high grade polishing papers, then give it a coat of the humbrol Dayglo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) A coat of red over the flat red this time. Of course I now realise the horizontal tail should be red and white, but I’ll get to that once the Dayglo is done and well dry.
