AliGauld Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 The main transfers are on, except for the inboard vanes as I want to soften and set the outboard ones before I get them on in case I knock them about. They are all softening now and will be left overnight. More tomorrow including stencils. . Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon that is very kind of you. I've just finished the port side stencils and if I can get up enough oomph I'll get the starboard side done and post some more photos.

AliGauld Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 I've got a day off work. I was going to clear coat the fuselage again but instead got on with painting up some of the undercarriage bits, the exhausts and the open door. The undercarriage legs were painted with Colourcoats Sky Type S and Light Admiralty Grey. The exhausts were painted with Xtreme Metals Steel then misted with Burnt metal and then again lightly misted with Alclad Pale Burnt Metal. Apologies for the photos which were a bit rushed. The underwing tanks were also masked up then painted with ColourCoats FAA Yellow and Nato Black. I'll tell you working with strips of masking tape that are 0.4mm wide round a contoured tank isn't fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
