the South African Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Well I certainly hope that this will qualify for the current group build. I started on ot about two weeks ago but most all the parts were already removed from the sprue and it has no decals what-so-ever so I gues I will have to make my own; pLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT DOES QUALIFY AND IF IT DOES NOT WELL THEN i GUESS i WILL DO SOMETHING ELSE It stillneeds a lot of filling and also some scribing, sanding, painting, detailing etc. etc.
the South African Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks Smuts! I am also busy on a Dora and IF and this is a VERY big if I get done on the thud I may also throw in a Dragonfly in 72nd.
the South African Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Got round to finishing the scribing and and sanding and did a bit of polishing of the plastic will post more pics over the weekend I think.

the South African Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Hello Countryman!Well thanks and always a pleasure to be here
the South African Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 O.K guys well its a long weekend over here and between friday and yesterday I had some time out to finish up the main painting here for your viewing and scrutiny some pictures of the work done up to now.Just the decals that needs printing and the fitting of the rest of the small parts.The reason for taking so long was that the seams on the kit hadsome gaps and was a bit of a fight to fill.Untill next time: The obligatory fault finding silver: some pre shading and tinting: the tan: some masking (my way) dark green: completed and some different views:
Metallicus Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 That looks great, did you use good old prestik for the masking?
the South African Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 Hey Metallicus.Yup good ol prestic and Academy enamels from the aerocolour box along with light aircraft grey for the bottom and camoflage grey for the wells(Humbrol) the silver from tamiya rattle can thanks for the comment and see you guys soon with some more progress I hope!
