AliGauld Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 A little progress today. The last decals applied. I've also applied a little light chipping as you can see. Other bits were dirtied and dusted up a tad. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 I got busy this morning, Undercarriage legs and doors fitted after the doors had been given the oil dot treatment to make them similar in tone to the fuselage. A matt coat was then sprayed in the general direction of the plane. Exhausts fitted and clear parts unmasked. The prop and spinner got a satin coat. Still to do, Pitot, wheels, landing lights clear part, prop assembly and whip aerials to be fitted. Navigation and formation lights to be painted. I think that's about it. Not far now.

Andy J Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 You already know my thoughts on your build Alistair and what a cracker this will be when finished 🙂👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I really thought I was done. All the bits that required painted had been done, wheels and landing light fitted. The last bit done was the whip aerial which I did out of stretched sprue but I'm not happy with it as it's just too thick so I'm going to rip it off and then try a bristle from an old toothbrush. More later, Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 I'm calling this one done. RFI Here I would like to send out my heartfelt appreciation and thanks to all of you who took the time to follow, comment and react to this build. It really helps to keep me motivated to carry on with things. A special shout out to @GrzeM and @Wojtek Bulhak for bring this jewel of a kit to us. Next up Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
