Very nice how you’ve done silver fuel tanks with the blue underside too. I’m tempted to get the 1/48 version after seeing this. Here we are.... Now, I'm tempted too.... I must resist.... Too much kits on the bench.... Aaaaaaargh..... Sincerely. CC 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very Much, I was pleased with the look of the HSS tanks against the PRU Blue. I've also taken a fair bit of the dust wash back off as I felt it was too prominent. It doesn't show up as much to the eye as in the photos but after seeing the pictures I couldn't unsee it. Cheers, Alistair 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Chris Thanks Chris, I'm certain that you have to be very sparing with it after my first attempt but luckily they give you a specific remover in the pack.

I found out when fitting the undercarriage supports that the wing to fuselage fit was entirely my fault as I has transposed the wheel well parts. So, that's one less thing to watch out for. Cheers, Alistair Maddening! Many thanks for the heads up - transposing stuff is bread-and-butter to me..... Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think it's done. A clear coat of Windsor & Newton Satin with two drops of Tamiya Neutral Grey was sprayed over. Once that was dry I painted up the wingtip nav lights, unmasked the clear pieces, placed the canopy decal and the last clear piece in the nose. RFI Here. Next up. WIP Here. As always my grateful thanks and appreciation to those who took the time to look, react and comment on this. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left the Air Brakes open as the fit was so tight getting them flush would have been interesting, but it looks OK. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
