AliGauld Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 For my birthday last year i was given a bunny Club Membership and this kit along with overtrees came along with it. This will be done as a Mk.VI in RN service. It should probably be done in the the equivalent colours but i don't have them so it will be TSS. I'm looking forward to this one. Plastic will be cut tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, alistair 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Oh yes Alistair, the Wildcat or Martlet as the RN called it. I did the Airfix 1/72 version a few years ago and it was a lovely kit. This should be a cracker mate. Simon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfox63 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hi Alistair. I suppose the question has to be asked; how does it feel? Cheers, Chris. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 Various bit and bobs for the cockpit area have been painted and PE'd through the day. The internals of the fuselage were painted up too. That lot can settle and will be subjected to glue tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know , and they reminded me before paint was involved. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwau Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Almost looks like it's falling together all by itself - sign of a good kit! Interesting subject, great work - and you're fast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 All the bits have been glued together and the fit is rather good. There was a bit of dry-brushing, chipping and I used some pigment for a bit of a dusty, dirty look towards the rudder pedals. This was followed by a dirty brown oil wash. Then a dry fit to the starboard fuselage. I'll get a move on with the engine bulkhead/ wing spar bits now.
