Hagar Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Again thanks everyone. Well all the cam is on. Tomorrow I will have to spray some mauve on the tail where I missed it and check for any problems. Then I can glosscoat and start decalling before adding the upper wing.

Hagar Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Well up at 0300 and couldnt think of anything better to do (except sleep which wasnt happening), so I assembled the center strut, engine panels, painted the pilots combing, and decaled one side.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nice work. Whose colours are you using? The mauve and green look great. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks guys. The paint for the scheme is Tamiya with the Mauve being batched together. I am also using Vallejo for some things. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks guys. Well I made 2 mistakes, one of which is problematic. First mistake is I put a decal on in the wrong place. The data plaque on the nose should be on the right side not the left. The decal for the left is now on the right. That irks me, but oh well, I did do it at around 0330 in the morning. The big problem is the center strut. The 2 pieces are a butt fit and I should have pinned them. When I put the top wing on and glued they sprung apart. I finally managed to get them kind of lined up right. So anyone looking at building this save yourself some heart ache and pin them together. So hopefully this looks okay to you all. Hope to get more done tomorrow. Rigging is going to be a pain.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Thanks guys. Well just a small update today. Got the landing gear together and already have to make a repair. Wife pointed out one turnbuckle was a bit crooked. Well now its detached, but simple fix, just glue back on. Also worked on the radio operator/observer/gunners pulpit. Coming together :bgrin Hmm a bit of extra line that needs to be snipped also.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Well almost destroyed it today. Going to step back for a little and let it sit. I need to order some decals as I stupidly managed to pull a couple off this morning. Got the rudder tacked on to see it overall. Gun is being worked on. Rigging is still scaring me. So some pics to tide me over until I am ready to finish this bird.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
