AliGauld Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 My second build from "The Longest Day" box set. Having built the first one this was a little easier as I'd got the snags out of the way. Well, apart from the self-inflicted ones. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey, Painted with ColourCoats Interior Grey Green, Dark Green, Ocean Grey, Medium Sea Grey, RAF/FAA Yellow, Tamiya Flat White, Nato Black, Rubber Black, Buff, Clear Red, Clear Green, Clear Orange, Flat Aluminium. Washed with Citadel Nuln Oil, Seraphim Sepia and Flory Dark Dirt. Oils used from Windsor & Newton and Abteilung 502. Finished with Windor & Newton Galeria Matt and Satin Varnishes. WIP Here. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thanks so much Chris. I did enjoy them despite the grumbles and complete mess I made of the stripes on the second one.

Ngantek Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 You've turned out another good'un here Alistair, and I can see the improvement from the last (which was also excellent btw!) in the wheels and dihedral. Good save on the stripes. Amazing how sometimes it all seems right on masking but some how turns out way off. I have a theory on this that involves the underpant gnomes but perhaps should save that until the research thesis is complete... Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Thanks Andy, The starboard wheel is still slightly out and I may try to fix it or not. Don't know if it bothers me enough.* The dihedral on the Mk.IXc was a bear. Much as I tried I couldn't get a decent angle on it. It's weird how the same kit can produce two very different results due to operator error. *Edit: It was bothering me so it's at the right angle now. 15 minutes ago, Sky Keg said: Alistar………..bravo good sir.
