You'll be done before you know it Cheers, Mark Thanks Mark, I'm definitely getting closer. I've already cut the masks for the serials and once they're done there will only be the prop and U/C to get painted and positioned. I should get a start on the those bits tomorrow as I've got a bit of time off work. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hi Alistair, so this is where you've been hiding, I was wondering why I hadn't seen your builds lately. Great work on this one, it’s looking fantastic. I did the Trumpeter Wyvern and built the contra rotating prop and greased it as per instruction and it has never worked properly!!! So better off leaving out. Great work fella Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who am I kidding it gave me the excuse to do a couple of FAA subjects as if I needed the excuse. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Serials masked and painted with three light mists of Tamiya Nato Black. Some touch ups needed but that will do nicely. I'll get the touch ups done and then get a clear coat on to protect everything. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Touch ups done and the final marking applied. Ready for a clear coat and some light weathering once I fit the last parts for the radiators. I'll get the undercarriage and propeller parts started at that point as well. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, I too always go for the low demarcation EDSG Andy Thanks Andy, I'm still trying stuff out to get it to the stage that any touch ups are minimal. The roundels are still problematic but I'll get there eventually. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Looking great! That's an interesting mix of roundel types. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Trumpeter had Type C roundels in all positions but I'd read that this was wrong and they should be Type D except for the fuselage. If I'm wrong then so be it, this one was only used for Carrier landing trials. Cheers, Alistair 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Getting closer, I feel. So, after a protective clear coat a light Flory Dark Dirt wash and some oil dot filtering was applied. The majority of the undercarriage was assembled and she's on her feet. Still to do. Final undercarriage parts and rear wheel doors. Whip Aerial, Flaps, Light weather to undercarriage, wheel wells and flaps. Final satin coat. Unmask canopy and Camera Port. Krystal Klear to Camera Port. Fit Nav Lights. Not to much to do. If I can extract the digit I may get it done today. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 I think that's it, The PVA can cure overnight and I'll get some prettier shots tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Many thanks to Tony OD and Col for hosting this one. Cheers, Alistair 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, No need for apologies either. I do use enamels but Colourcoats thinners speeds up the drying time. Cheers, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
