Big Tony Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Cheers Kev,.....yes I brushed on Aeromaster flat varnish (yes I still have a bottle of this awesome stuff!!), again using a big flat brush,.....first coat brushed on as usual and then more scuffed on afterwards in a dry brush type technique. Another quick update,.......I`ve applied the watercolour wash; I`ve since rubbed it off again, leaving the wash behind in the recessed detail,....and I`ve added the undercarriage etc,....I`ll post a photo in the morning, Cheers Tony Cees Broere, dennismcc, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Tony Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Cheers Dennis,.....yeah it is scary and I worry every time!! But,.....it is worth it and here is the model this morning,......almost done now; I`ve polished the finish up a little using a damp paper towel and clean brushes scuffed onto the paintwork to try and replicate the original aircraft,...just the last little bits to add!

Lothar Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Jaw dropping - can't believe she's all brush painted - three thumbs up !!!!! How you're going to replicate the wing tip lights? Again, fantastic work! Lothar Big Tony and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What's a brush? Awesome work. Tony I do hope everything goes well with your back. Big Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Tony Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Cheers Fella`s, I was going to replicate the tip lights by scraping the paint away and then adding a thin coat of paint to lights. As for my back,..... thanks, it is always going to be badly damaged and this cannot be fixed,....but the added pain of the disc embedding itself into my spinal cord has been a bit too much to handle,.... I`ll be glad to get back to my `normal' pain levels! Hopefully I`ll have the model finished today, Cheers Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm flabbergasted. Great. Just great. Sincerely, Mark Big Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Tony, This one has really turned out beautifully including the weathering. Well done. And it sure looks like a Mk IX doesn't it? Lothar and Big Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Tony Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Hiya Folks, Well I`ve been beavering away,.....but guess what I did this lunchtime,....I dropped the model which went skidding across the stone kitchen floor shedding parts as it went! Thankfully,.....it was fixable and with that final spurt including a set of harness straps made from painted tape and the wing tip lights were scraped back to clear and then tinted using Sharpie pens,..... I`m calling it done! Here is the finished model; I`ll stick some more pics in RFI later on, Thanks for all of your support along the way, Cheers Tony Edited April 21, 2017 by Big Tony Leaning_Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Tony Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Thanks everybody,....glad you like it and all of your support, encouragement and kind works have been greatly appreciated cheers. Lovely result Tony - very, very impressive and by all accounts it flies... if only for half a heart stopping second!!!Torben Haha,.....yes,....it flew beautifully in a nose down curve but the crash landing was a mess, however it could have been much worse,.....just lost the undercarriage, a cannon barrel and a propeller,.....all fixable thanks to the wonders of super glue! All the best Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
