monthebiff Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Decided to use Archer Fine transfer resin fastener set. Nice work, I used those fasteners on a PCM Hurricane, they do look a little heavy under paint but are a great addition to the base kit. Regards.

Joel_W Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Tolga, Those fasteners really make quite a difference. Looking forward to how they look as part of the painted surface. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Tolga, Those fasteners really make quite a difference. Looking forward to how they look as part of the painted surface. Joel Hope that they will work well under the paint. I have used these Archer resin fasteners first of all for the damaged ones on my Tamiya Spitfire MkIXe project. http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=2404 Guyman1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Tolga, those fasteners look better then molded on ones I've seen once some primer and paint is applied. The effort was very well worth it. And the camo paint scheme with black primer really has the right amount of color modulation without having to post shade. Very well done.

TorbenD Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Shaping up beautifully Tolga BTW by complete chance I've literally just stumbled across an image of a close up of the port wing root showing the 35mm gun camera of DB's Mk 5A W3185 in ‘Eyes of the RAF' by Roy Conyers Nesbit (great read so far) - If you're interested (you may not be ;-), it shows there was quite a soft edge demarcation between the Sky and upper colours under the nose which falls below the dividing line of the side and belly engine cowls, not actually on this line as a sharp demarcation was often the case (In fact, a quick check shows most illustrated profiles for this particular aircraft on the Web show it as the latter, I guess erroneously according to the book photograph)- I can't tell from your images where yours lies? Hope this makes sense Torben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this makes sense Torben Yes I opened the gunsight camera hole on the wing edge/root, thanks. On the other hand, despite having many profiles and images on the internet, there are still problems with the original photo I have used as reference some early builts, some kits and decal sets issued by differents companies and profiles etc. So the painting applied with sharp demarcation with the guidance of the dividing line. I do not think to change it after this stage I am using Life like decal sheet. And in this sheet there is a nose art on the left cowling. But I am still not sure that this nose art exists on W3185 or not. And decided not to use it. Any comment for this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorbenD Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Hi Tolga - I too would leave off the nose art of a certain person being booted up the backside which I believe was particular to 242 Squadron (no doubt someone has a photo to disprove this ;-) - by this time Bader was flying mainly with 616 Squadron interesting image of Bader' Va here - http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/articles/douglas-bader-2 - Not sure if the particular plane shown in the picture, ‘Lord Lloyd 1', is W3185 but doesn't show the nose art. It does however have good ref of the DB codes shape and position. Hope this helps Torben Edited April 17, 2017 by TorbenD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
