Tomek Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well, we all can see the cockpit on your photos, so it's definitely not lost effort. Looks superb! Vandy 1 VX 4 and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo.b Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 The interior is just about done, just some cross-bracing to add once the fuselage halves are joined. As most will never see the light of day once the kit is completed I wanted some decent pics to record that I actually added it!! So Eric G popped over with his gucci light system and took the following pics for me...Thanks mate!! The control lines are ez line and the throttle cables are the correct diameter piano line I sourced from my LHS, far easier to add than ez line, just measure the length, join 4 peices together and add. Engineers position Together More soon folks...stay tuned MikeC, Kagemusha, Tomek and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Robinson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Gorgeous woodwork on that. I thought about using Alex's decals but I enjoy painting my woodwork, so I stuck to Old School. We are like minded regarding the "natural" birds as opposed to the dazzle schemes. I do however, have to do my late kit in the red/white dazzle scheme for my wife as a condition of her getting it for me for Christmas lol. Hey... gotta keep the wive's happy right?

Simmo.b Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wow how did I miss that, been following on fb :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo.b Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Back again!! Just a small update but a major step forward, the fuselage has been closed up and the seams filled. I gave the kit a coat of Mr Surfacer White 1000 straight from the can, needed several light coats to build up the opacity but a great product. I then masked up the stringers on the turtle deck before shooting a pre-shade of Gunz Radome and applying the same colour to the wood areas which were later oil grained. I will be giving the Aviattic clear doped linen decals a try for the cdl areas on this kit hence the prep, if the cdl decals are anything like the quality/ease of use of Aviattics lozenge decals then should look nice! Anyway pictures tell a 1000 words..... Thanks for looking in!! Girlscanplay2, 109, Zero77 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
