Ngantek Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 This continues apace, not that I expected anything different! The nacelle assembly was fiddly or just needed some cleanup? Looking great though! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just requires some clean up due to Mr. Heavy-Handed here being a little too liberal with the Extra Thin. 8 hours ago, Dunny said: Alistair, I also note that your Mk.XIV has an identity crisis 🤣, Cheers, Roger Damn, did I pick up the wrong one.

AliGauld Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I managed to get some paint on. Firstly Interior Grey Green, Then some flat aluminium. Finally after a bit of masking some Flat White. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 And we're back. Apologies for the delay. A combination of earlies which means getting up at 04:15 and a booked 6 monthly rules exam in Glasgow in the middle. 2 coats of ColourCoats RAF/FAA Yellow sprayed over the bits that need it. There are a couple of bits that require more work. Once the yellow is fully dry I'll sort those rough bits and then look at masking for the black. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yellow fixed. I didn't get much chance to do anything else today as we had a bit of a storm came through making it difficult to get out to the garage and keep stuff dry. I'll get some masking and black done tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.au Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 This is going to look very striking indeed, nice job on the base yellow Alistair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Note that Airfix didn’t include any of the target towing gear specific to the TT.35. Note in particular the extra wires between the vertical tail and the stabilisers to prevent the tow cable getting caught in the elevators and rudder. There’s also a little guard to protect the tail wheel. Those look to be dayglo stripes on the wingtips and inboard flaps. (On closer inspection, there are dayglo stripes on the aft fuselage too). 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the photos, I'm not making any structural changes to the kit itself, just doing the paint job from the Hendon one which doesn't have the dayglo stripes as far as I can tell from photos. But, looking at photos this morning I've realised that the Yellow goes over the top of the wings outboard of the engines and I will need to paint them before i get on with the black. More later, Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 I finished the Night shift this morning and am now on annual leave for a week. Might actually get something done despite the masking for the black scaring the living daylights out of me. Aha*, I hear you say. You chose this scheme, get on with it. Oh all right then, if you insist. Testing the technique towards the tail to see how it goes. Not perfect but once I've got all the black on there is still the HSS to do so there shouldn't be too many touch ups. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
