Some work has been done on the main wheels. Once that dry I'll get the Rubber Black on and should be able to get the undercarriage fitted which just leaves the pitot and a final clear coat to do. Getting there, but I've just noticed that I've not quite dealt with that ejection pin mark. Ach, well I'll just need to sort it later.

AliGauld Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Undercarriage and last two resin parts fitted. Once everything is settled that will get a matt coat, the prop will get a satin coat which will leave the underside and nav lights to be painted and the aerial rigged. Not too much to do now. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Looks great. You’ve worked your way through this one steadily and the result is a beaut. It’s quite striking actually, such an unusual scheme… just like your choice for the PR Spit. Always nice to see the unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Clear coats, nav/underside lights, canopy unmasked and prop stuck on. After everything is dried and tidied up if necessary I'll rig the aerial and that, as they say, will be that. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgos Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Well that looks really splendid Ali, well done! I’ll bet your heart was in your mouth when easing that masking off the canopy! It’s turned out beautifully. 👏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll bet your heart was in your mouth when easing that masking off the canopy! It’s turned out beautifully. 👏 Thanks very much. That is extremely kind of you. The mask set wasn't cut particularly well by Special Hobby and I was very apprehensive peeling them off. There were a couple of touch ups needed and a bit of toothpick work but nothing major and it's better than I expected. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Righty-ho, I think everything has been done. RFI Here. Up next, and sorry Roger. WIP Here. Finally my heartfelt thanks to all of you who took the time to look, react and comment on this. Your encouragement has been invaluable. A special shout out to @galgos and @mark.au without whom there would have been a lot more decals used. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, I don't think I'll go back now unless absolutely necessary. Hunting about trying to get MRP Yellow, Blue and Red to speed things up a bit but they appear to be sold out everywhere. Ah well, I can wait. 11 hours ago, bigbadbadge said: Cracking job Alistair, looks absolutely stunning. Lovely finish fella. Chris Thanks Chris, Very kind.
