Andwil Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Masking off this morning. Very happy with that. Couple of minor touch ups and some detail painting and then I can gloss it ready for the decals. Canopy could use a bit of a polish as the masking has left a bit of residue. Thanks for looking.

Andwil Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Started on the decals, finished the wings, tailplane and fin. Fuselage to follow. Arctic Decals are going on nicely with no dramas so far. Biggest challenge will be getting the stripes down the side nice and straight and joined up. Thanks for looking.

Col. Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Good to see you're at the decaling stage AW. I'd not appreciated how nice that scheme looks until seeing it being applied to your model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Port side decals on: The white stripes come in four sections and will need trimming around the rear of the nozzle fairings. Thanks for looking. AW 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Decals completed with the starboard side. Thanks for looking. AW 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Super job in getting those lines on the fuselage straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I do like the scheme, I think its better than the American prototype scheme. https://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal15/14301-14400/gal14351-AV-8B-Salerno/03.shtm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Had trouble sleeping last night, so I got up and fitted the undercarriage. Pleased that it sits squarely on all four points without any adjustment. Last few bits attached this afternoon and its done. In the strong afternoon light through the study window: Gallery shots to follow. This clears a space on the bench for the Ju-88, which STGB starts next week. Thanks for looking.

The AV-8A/B hybrid looks weird with the smaller fuselage and big wing, so it really appeals to me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to build a YAV-8B and I see there was a Kestrel on that sheet, which I'd like to do as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
