Chris Thanks Chris, Me too, I'm expecting a few touchups though. The chippie is a lumpy old bird after all. Cheers, Alistair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 Colourcoats Light Aircraft Grey applied. And then after it was dry. There a few touch ups required but I was expecting that. Other than that I'm fairly chuffed with the result. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Roger, If you'll pardon the expression I've got the touch-ups around the bumpy bits to sort out yet. It doesn't look that crisp up close.

AliGauld Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 On investigation in good daylight I noticed a run on the underside, a poorly sanded bit on the port wing leading edge and a flat spot on the port nose. Some gentle filling and sanding later. If the weather improves I'll get some paint down later. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Roger Thanks Roger. It took about three separate attempts to get the anti-glare panel symmetrical but I'm reasonably pleased with it. You should dig yours up. I would be very interested in seeing what you do with it. 10 hours ago, bigbadbadge said: Looks lovely Alistair, great work on the touching in.

AliGauld Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 This got a shiny coat earlier today. Followed by some stickers. That will get the softener treatment tonight and I'll see what I've got tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
