Andwil Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Today I airbrushed the dark sea grey on the upperside. Not much darker than my primer which was a bit tricky. After it had dried I gave it a coat of my local Future equivalent (Pascoes Long Lasting). Thanks for looking. AW 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That's looking very smooth. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Masked up for the dark green: And: a little bit of paint lift on the grey to touch up, but otherwise on to the black underside. Thanks for looking. AW 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Sprayed the underside NATO black today. I used the parts for closed main gear doors as masks for the wells, the fit is so good they just clicked in, no glue or blue tac required. Thanks for looking.

A quick smooth down with fine micromesh and on with the green! Your paint is looking good, Very smooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 Decals on: I did have some concerns about the very old decals, but I needn’t have worried, they behaved impeccably, releasing quickly from the backing and settling nicely. Thanks for looking. AW 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Well done AW, this Canberra looks just beautiful in those Boxart colours. A very neat job all round, great work! Cheers .. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 The undercarriage and last few bits, u/c doors, glass nose and the little “T” shaped aerials under the rear fuselage have been fitted. Despite the weight added it promptly sat back on its tail. So I carefully prised off the glass nose and added an extra weight to the very front of the fuselage. The weight is unfortunately visible through the nose windows, but I can live with this as it now sits properly on its wheels. I’ll add some gallery pics in the next day or two. Thanks for looking.

Rabbit Leader Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 That's just turned out lovely and a great tribute to what has to be one of my favourite Frog kits. Looks really good in the kit's box colours, so well done and congratulations on a great build. Cheers and well modelled.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thanks Mate, it certainly scrubs up well for an old kit. 9 hours ago, AdrianMF said: Looks terrific AW! The intake guards are a nice touch too. Regards, Adrian Thanks Adrian. The solid intakes as moulded looked rather naff so I decided that hiding them as easier than opening them up. 6 hours ago, Johnson said: Lovely finish AW, great model.
