DonH Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Looks Great Don Keep the post coming. Thanks, it may be a bit delayed as I have work commitments in the coming weeks that may slow me down but I want to get the engine finished and move onto the exciting aeroplane bits. Great-looking details, Don. Good job! Sincerely, Mark Thanks Mark, I am enjoying it. Are you serious?!?!?! The level of detail on this build is crazy, Subscribed. Haha, yes, and the research for it has been crazy and loooong but I think I am near the finishing line now. Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 That is some fantastic detailing, I am enjoying this build immensely! Absolutely GORGEOUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 So, at last the Merlin is done. I am pleased with the results. There is so much lead wire and extra bits that I am a little worried that the plane won't sit on it's tail wheel!! Now that's done, I can turn my attention to the bit with wings! Bottom and first top coat is done. Green camo next. Talking of the camo, these came in the post this week. I highly recommend Mal Mayfield's Miracle Masks as I have used them before with excellent results. I was extremely pleased to find that he does camo masks for the Spit. I am looking forward to using them this week. Mal also sent roundels and codes for my Spit but also included masks for the yellow wing stripes and the wing walk lines. More than I expected and very welcome extras! Excellent customer service. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Cheers Don Ripaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Don Gorgeous work on the Merlin and all the plumbing up front under the cowl. Looks simply tremendous. Great idea using the masks for the roundels as I had a awful time getting the roundels to sit down over the various bulges on the wings, not to mention Tamiya decals shattered everywhere. I wound up using as Many EagleCal decals as I couood and should have used nothing but. The masks shoudd completely eliminate all the problems I had and will certainly look better when done. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Engin is amazing ! Great weathering........Harv Thanks Harv. Weathering is done with ProModeller washes. Slap it on and rub it off. That is about as sophisticated as I can get. Don Gorgeous work on the Merlin and all the plumbing up front under the cowl. Looks simply tremendous.

Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Thanks Peter, the first time I used Miracle Masks, I was amazed at the results. For large scale models, I won't use decals - the masks give a much better outcome IMO. They are more fiddly but the final look is worth it. Having said all that, let's see if I can manage to stuff it up on this build!
