Thank you for sharing. I noticed a few Catalinas too - very relevant as I've just taken delivery of a 1/32nd one!

I am hoping to get a splash of paint on her this weekend - probably the extra dark sea grey - as the weather looks promising and the wife and kids are out. Happy days.

tomprobert Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Greetings all, I have been confined to the house over the last week and bit due to Covid, but being in isolation does have its perks. After a pretty grim 48hrs I was back to feeling fine so got the airbrush out and started painting this beast. Total painting time was more or less 10 hours and I used three tins of Xtracolor paint for each of the Extra Dark Sea Grey, Slate Grey and Sky - the surface area is HUGE. I still need to do the upper wing insignias but this will have to wait until the weekend as I'm now back to work. You'll have to forgive the horrible phone pictures - these were snapped in the living room under artificial light - but when she's flat-coated I'll get the decent camera out and shoot some pics in natural light. Things are progressing nicely, and the end is appearing on the horizon! All the best, Tom geedubelyer, brahman104, Out2gtcha and 39 others 38 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
