That Harrier looks really good, Ced. And I'm pretty sure your grandson won't be complaining about the lack of stencils ;)

Dunno how you can see these little blighters well enough to work on em Ced, I’m sure I couldn’t.

 

But you self evidently can, cos they all look a treat.

1/144 close ups. Ugh. Not my best work but OK from a distance.

 

Dead one shots:

Forgot to paint the exhausts. Now done.

Thanks Jont.

Bit of a delay until the Luftwaffe models - concentrating on the Havoc.

The fastest build in the west!!!  🤠

 

look great too. 

Thanks Giorgio and Jont. To be honest it'd be difficult to build them more slowly!

If you mess up the Stuka, can I have the canopy pretty please?

Of course you can Bill, although I'm not planning a mess up.

I reckon you could probably make something suitable from some clear sprue? Micromesh is your friend.

 

I've given the yellow noses about 100 coats of brushed Model Air but finally happy enough with them to apply some 65:

The pot was drying but nothing that couldn't be thinned with flow improver.

Progressing.

I know, but you haven’t factored in bone idle😵‍💫

 

Thats plan A. Plan B was wishful thinking.

Thanks Johnny. They add a bit of colour eh?

 

Masked and painted:

Thanks Giorgio and James.

 

Now then. Canopy frames.

Heather had put me on to those weird pens for painting thin lines:

I've not been much good with these before so I tested it on some plastic:

 

53138125711_97a0a30c20_z.jpg

 

Pretty thin line on the left there. Hmmm.

 

Does it work for me on canopies?

 

53137528792_3b3fa65678_z.jpg

 

Er, no then.

I'll leave that to dry and attack it with scraper things.

 

Transfers:

…on. With the scraped canopies:

Lesson from this?

Don't zoom in.

Using those (appropriately) is an art in itself... :frantic: 

 

Model looking good with the scraped canopies :clap: And no, I didn't zoom in, I promise .... :winkgrin:  :D
