LSP_Matt Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Collingwood supporter? Nope but nearly as bad...Tigers!!!!!! Go you wooden spooners I love the warble of Magpies in the morning. That and a currawong are just a classic Victorian bird sound for me. Magpies are just cocky arrogant birds with a lot of character. they just strut maintaining their 'coolness' in front of all the other birds. I whistle like you'd call a dog and this one that visits my front yard runs over like a puppy. He's almost eating out of my hand. The guys in dental at Pucka Army base had them eating out of their hands at morno's...it was like a family gathering with the 'boys' gathering at the fire escape door for their morno feed. Decals and surprise have gone out Keith. Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Aylmer Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi I love 18's. I was lucky enough to sit in one at Farnborough about 5 years ago, it was Canadian. Looking forward to this one, especially the weathering stage, these birds always look beat up. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Prior to it's destruction; After some repairs, few little adjustments and a little paint; Originally, I had some paint that I had mixed up to paint this plane in USN colours. Once I applied them, they looked terrible. So I have ended up using Tamiya XF-66/XF-19 straight from the bottle and I think it looks a lot better. Makes it easier to touch up too.

Allok Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Have been attempting to create some "low-viz" markings using the Aussie Decals that Matt sent me. I tried using a thinned down version of the airframe colour to "fade" the decals out. The Roos turned out ok but I ended up hand painting the rest of the markings. A bit scruffy but it will do. A few touch ups, then the gloss coat and the rest of the decals... Slow progress is better than none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
