Thanks @elger and @Hamden. Little bit more done today. Cockpit walls finished and fixed to fuselage halves. Hairy stick out. Silver on the "Gas" bottle. Tan on theses "Cables" Olive drab on the oxygen pipe. And matt black on these little bits for the "Parcel Shelf" I may be able to get some more done tomorrow, who knows? Stay safe.

Spookytooth Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Thanks @giemme, @AliGauld and @elger. Masking mojo today. I decided to mask in and out. Did the outside of the windscreen then used the remaining mask as a template. You get the picture. Then the good lady wife brought me light refreshments. Once refreshed I finished off the masking. Windscreen. And canopy. Another break then on with a bit more I hope. A little audio entertainment while I sort out what next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9uvpr_gm64 Stay safe.

Thanks @elger and @giemme. Hairy stick out and Clears added. And while waiting for those to dry I spotted that I had lost a bit out of the U/C bay. Yep, inner left. But as I had not glued them in place was able to remove its mirror image. So at least I have a template to work to. Silver out next for I.D. lights and cockpit lights too The roughness won`t show on the I.D. lights as its the reverse side. Stay safe.

Thanks @Hamden. Had time this lunchtime t spray some gloss varnish around (W&N ) Cockpit walls. Seat and radiator. Radiator roof? Then added some clear red/orange/yellow and thinned a bit more for the cockpit floor staining. Said mix. I also fixed some parts to the inside of the lower wing. But numbnutz her got the colours the wrong way around. That`s all for now. Stay safe. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giemme Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Nice progress, Simon! Bummer for the lights, but they're underneath, out of sight... They do look good, though - way better than the painted on ones on my Mustang. Ciao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The health bit is just one of those things Tony, I had suffered from it since 96 so have got use to it. The kit is slowly getting there, I think. 29 minutes ago, giemme said: Nice progress, Simon!

Thanks @Hamden Time for that infamous "Scotch Paint" the Black Wash.... Rad. And rad roof. Cockpit walls. And tail wheel bay. I then dotted some liquid mask Mr Neo on the seat. And cockpit floor/ front. Hopefully a bit more could be done tomorrow. Stay safe. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Looking fantastic. All those disparate parts look like they will converge to form something stunning. Sorry to hear about your health issues but you sound like you’re dealing with life’s issues without losing stride. 👊 The lights look fine as they are but would they pop out if you poked them with a cocktail stick and a spot of pressure? My inner @perdu showing. 😆 Onwards and upwards. Johnny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then masking.. Before letting loose with some home made interior green XF 77 + XF3. The seat. And finally the U/C roof bit, it becomes part of the cockpit floor. Let that lot dry before figuring out what next to do. Until then, another blast from the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JvHroG3u5E Stay safe.

Spookytooth Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks @giemme. While I had time, out came the XF 3 Yellow again, by itself this time. Prop and bits. I then noticed that I had made a boo boo on the cockpit floor. Rectified this and also remembered to paint the rudder pedals too. I can`t see any more spraying been done today but I will see what I can do later, Stay safe. Simon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Excellent work Simon. I didn’t realise that I’d got so far behind so stopped the ‘ likes ‘ before I inundated you. Bad luck on the wheel well part but I’m sure you’ll be able to replace it, one of mine was badly crushed in the bag and was quite tricky to repair. Hope you’re getting better. Stay safe.

Spookytooth Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Thanks @TheBaron, @AliGauld, @Biggles87, @Hamden, @giemme and @elger. Well sorry I have taken my time recently but you all know what life can bring, but hey I got back on the bench again. Dry brushed X 11 (silver) Added bits to the cockpit floor. More dry brushing, rudders this time. Some Olive Drab on the "Leccy" box + cables. And a touch of X & (red gloss) to the handles/levers on the I.P. I hope that you are safe and well.

Spookytooth Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Thanks @giemme, @Hamden, @Biggles87, @AliGauld and @elger. Well, sorry for no posting but mojo was lacking. But today I got back on the bench and did some more. The I.P. coaming lights added and just need touching up. I.P. itself had the rudders added and ready to fitted to the coaming. Seat masked ready for some Olive Drab. And the cockpit rack/frame was readied for the same colour. Every one stay safe and cool. Simon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
