AliGauld Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Not as successful a day as I'd hoped for. Still, some progress after the first coat of white primer there were still some seams to deal with. This is the result. I was hoping to get the brown preshade for the yellow and a first coat of yellow done today but I'd forgotten I had my Covid booster to get this afternoon and we're off out to see Wakanda Forever tonight. Other bits got a coat of primer. The semi-circular cut out had to be done by hand but I've done a couple of dry fits and it all lines up nicely. I'm not certain if I'll get much done tomorrow as I have to head into Wonderland to pick up some Christmas stuff for my Nephew. Might just see if I can find a PRU Spitfire as well. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Nice progress, Alistair, and good to have spotted those seams. Enjoy your evening out, and I hope the COVID booster doesn't knock you about - I had mine on Saturday and it's reputation is well-deserved.....

Thanks very much Gentlemen, My last booster gave me a sore arm but so far nothing. So all good. Cheers, Alistair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 This morning some panel lining in brown for the yellow and black for the rest. Once that was done the first coat of FAA/RAF Yellow was laid down. While I was at it some semi-gloss black was flung at other bits.

Chris Thanks Chris, It's a slow process as I need lots of highly thinned layers but it'll get there. Of course it wasn't helped by a trip to Wonderland in Edinburgh and more Scottish Rain*.

Chris Thanks Chris, The reason for the trip was to pick up some stuff from my Nephews Christmas list. So I got him these. And his Mum got him these. (Well sent me the money for them) Now I just need to get them out to Marmaris for Christmas. The next item is for me and is all @Dunny's fault. I also got some pigment fixer and HR Hobbies (Alclad) High Speed Silver. A successful day. Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Excellent haul! I've had a Tamiya Matilda for absolute donkeys' years intending to do a Malta Tank Regiment example. The Caunter scheme is always attractive. Looking forward to seeing your take on the Beaufort! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark. I know he's been eyeing this one up for a while and he likes the Caunter scheme so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do withit. 25 minutes ago, Dunny said: Love it - you will not regret it!

I was very tempted by the Blenheim myself when I looked at it but it's for the wee man's Christmas so I'll need to get it wrapped up quickly before temptation takes over. 51 minutes ago, bigbadbadge said: Very nice haul Uncle Alistair 😄😉 Some cracking kits there.

AliGauld Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Third coat of yellow and it's getting close. That will need a little rub down. And a first yellow on the prop tips. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
