That nose step looks like a right pain but you seem to be on top of things. I’ll tag along if I may. Johnny. You are more than welcome Johnny, nearly to the paint stage now, but have something quite nice lined up for after. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Well folks, not a lot to report in since last here. But with just a little bit of masking left to do she is ready for priming, that`s when all the faults show up. Oil cooler, intake added landing lights plus canopy masked. Stay safe.

Thanks @ModelingEdmontonian, @Hamden, @shortCummins and @AliGauld. Well, this morning I was finally able to do some modelling, namely mask and prep for priming. I am using the wheels up U/C doors as masks. Stay safe. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 OK, no messing about, on with the Sky XF 21. A bit blurred that one, sorry. Leave to dry before masking I suppose. Stay safe. Simon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Like the way you've crossed every block this kit has put in front of you, you now deserve a result and those coats of Sky say to me that your going to get one.

Cheers, Alistair They always look better with a splash of paint on them. Thanks @ModelingEdmontonian, @dogsbody, @shortCummins, @john-w and @Hamden. Undersides masked. Then laid down some Dark Earth.

Spookytooth Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Thanks @ModelingEdmontonian and @Hamden. A few rough spots were soon erased with the trusty sanding block before another coat.
