Thanks Col, I must had had an off day when measuring up!!! I thought I had better come clean otherwise someone would notice 😉 Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Unless you had pointed out the cockpit error, I doubt very much that anyone would have noticed. It still looks first class whatever the alignment. Â P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngantek Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Nice job on all that annoying fussy work. It looks even sillier like this, I'd be tempted to slap on the wheels and call it done! Â Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hi all  Not likely to finish this before the deadline, I have a few other builds on the go and work and family too. Yellow paint done , ready to mask up for the black paint now    Thanks Chris 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sorry to hear you're unlikely to finish this one within the GB timeframe Cliff but it does look to be coming together nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Col, I will still give it a go, as now all the yellow is done I can get on with hhe easier black, however masking will take some time, I think I won't. Make it in time though.  Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Col, funny really I have just finished last week the 32nd scale Matchbox Sea Venom I started in January for the Matchbox Mega GB which ended in June !!! My record is not great🙄. I think it will be great to do a GB and then choose the wrong subject , I am thinking I shouldn't enter another one!!! I am looking at getting the scallops accurate, I will trace them from the destructions and see if I can transfer to some tape perhaps. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Hi all I have used the Williams Brothers plans on the instructions to trace and cut my own wing scallops masks from masking tape. Â Â One coat of black and masks removed, I will give a second coat tomorrow possibly to finish the wings. Â Â Â Quite pleased with it so far, this was the bit I was most anxious about doing. Â Thanks for looking in. Chris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
