themongoose Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It’s really gonna look good with the top on! You’re going to need a prominent place to display this for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 It's really starting to look great there Chris. I've heard people say that Leading Edge decals can occasionally shatter so I'd say it was good to plan ahead with your scans of the sheet.

chrish Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Thanks again for looking! and the kind comments! I've been working fairly consistently a couple of hours a night all week putting on decals and touching up paint goofs. I lowered my arm at one point and hit a steel ruler that was sticking out over the edge of the desk that I was using as a guide for my blade to cut out decals , the ruler snapped down on the one end, up on the other and snapped a tail fin right off the model, the fin broke off the tail, flew straight up and I caught it...I got lucky that time! I did break the rudder off but it was just the glue that let go. A couple of shots tonight of where it sits at the end of the day. Another goof, I painted the stripe wrong way round. It's back in primer now masking the arrestor hook for the black decalling in progress Thanks for looking Michael931080, patricksparks, F`s are my favs and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks for looking and commenting. I've spent an enjoyable few hours (ok most of the day, but it's still blistering cold and staying indoors is not only recommended its required) I've finally got the flaps and ailerons onto the wings, in my opinion the model just wouldn't look right unless they're all hanging. I'll be fixing clear parts and nav. lights next. I finally got the stripe on the gear cover on right way round The flaps etc. parts finally on and fitting clear parts.

LSP_Kevin Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Really coming together now, Chris! 4 minutes ago, chrish said: [...] but it's still blistering cold and staying indoors is not only recommended its required) [...] Just the opposite here! We're in the midst of a nasty end-of-summer heatwave here, with several days in a row of temperatures close to 40°C. I'm over it!

LSP_Kevin Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 5 minutes ago, chrish said: I hate you! LOL I hate you! lol No need - the novelty wears off quickly! Too hot to sleep, too hot to do any model building, power brown-outs from the collective aircon draw, shopping centres clogged with people seeking relief, and just generally too hot to do much of anything. Ten years ago it didn't bother me nearly as much as it does these days, but this old man is about done with it. The only benefit is that your laundry dries on the washing line before you've finished hanging it out! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd coldest February in Calgary since 1933 and no real break in sight. We are so sick of it.... but I see what Kev is saying.... we can thankfully escape the cold in our warm houses. You can't escape the heat if you don't have AC and it can be unbearable. I'll take the cold anytime Your build looks great!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Even in Oregon we got hit with a late snowstorm. Eugene got 16" and basically shut down. Some places still don't have power. Amtrak was halted for 24hrs when loco hit downed tree. They got 5ft in the mountains. We just got 3" at our house. Wife is ready to go back to AZ, but they got hit with a ton of rain and even 3" of snow in N. Scottsdale. Weird winter. Hornet is looking great, chrish!
