Excellent Kit I would love to convert it to a A... somehow Good to see its got the metal L/G Pip
-
Oh My Goodness - Really! This Model should be exhibited in a Museum somewhere - anywhere! We know who the cherry on the cake is now. Congratulations on this spectacular mod.... no, it isn't a model .. this word diminishes this astonishing creation (in my eyes) ... I think it would be better served by calling it : Scaled Creation Aviation Replica Yardstick ...... Or SCARY for short Pip

Yeah agree, Pre-shading only works if the base lines-detailing is dark grey to black and the final colour top coat paint is light(er) in shade and thinly applied - not the other way around Pip
-
Yeah! I've been waiting for this kit too! My DAP RAAF Beaufighter is getting closer! Pip

The RAAF had A's and C's initially ( shown with slim rear gunners cover/hatch and clear front nose and small front wheel ) and last small batch were G's x 20 aircraft ( A28-50>70) but the G's didn't have inspiring nose arts at all as the earlier versions did.. but I'm hanging out for the A-C version for obvious reasons ( NOSE-ART) These earlier marks was shown as a resin clear nose in some convention photos ( maybe a A-C prototype) for later release versions...

Maybe they mistakenly thought the photo was a B-25 .... Pip

Hi - my 2 cents worth says its water in your airline. I don't thinks its primer - especially if its smoothly finished to start off with - prior to colour. Does your compressor have an watertrap/filter? if so, then its also possibly humidity in the air - maybe you painted on a very humid/rainy day? Even a very windy day ( hot/dry or cold moist wind) and you are painting in the open and not sheltered - will give you orange-peel. You'll be surprised how much this does effect painting quality - especially water-based acrylics.

Based on discussions at that time - yes Kev

Yeah - That's right Kev : FM Models - I believe Tasman? and is it Kiwi Wings? ( its been so long) anyways, they copied and rescaled my master ( with my permission of course) though- I can't say the same for Alley Cat... Pip p.s Thanks Dave for the kind words...

Hi Derek, I've got a 1/32 Wirraway solid master here and I might be interested in doing a deal for parts swapping and contributions towards your project. Perhaps casting my fuselage / wings? This is only an 'idea' right now... not sure how this would work , but thought I'd throw it out there and see if it sticks... I can supply photos if interested.. Thanks Pip
