Bradleygolding Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 And a bit more...... Nearly there. Just when you think it's done you notice something else to do! In this case some bracing wires and paint touching up. Steve Kagemusha, MikeC, 109 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradleygolding Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Okay, can the mods move this to "In Progress". Thanks. Just to show that there is progress! I have a couple of questions though. What are these bands on the struts, and why are they not molded in the model since it is the featured cover art? Seen in the instructions, and in a photo for the actual aircraft (probably black not gray), and in the Windsock drawings, but noticably absent from the struts in the actual model. Anybody.

europapete Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The bands are wrappings of fabric to strengthen the wood struts against splitting. Use a spare bit of CDL decal or paint. Regards, Pete in RI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thanks Pete, I did just find a photo that suggested as such. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Some progress on the engines. My wife asked if the model was finished yet! I tried to explain that in each of the engine assemblies there are 43 parts including decals, and all need painting before assembly. That's more parts than in one of those Airfix bag kits I used to make as a boy! Steve KUROK, LSP_Kevin, Lothar and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 An aerie of Eagles? Next it's that large red and white stripped thing! Steve Bobs Buckles, scvrobeson, Jan_G and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Sealing the steps and the priming coat. So the question is to spray or use a hairy stick? Lacquer and priming coats I have sprayed, but from WWI I have seen film of clear doped linen being brush painted with PC10 leaving space for national insignia. Most of the painting so far has been with a brush. Just wondering.

scvrobeson Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 It's such a massive plane, it'd probably be a lot easier and better looking down the line to spray it. But that's just my opinion Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Yes, I got an Airbrush especially for this model, and will probably do the al lover white this way. I guess it depends on how well the masking goes. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Or you could use Aviattic PC10 and CDL decals, Bradleygolding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 So today, the progress has mostly been slow. Having done some spraying with varying results, I have decided to paint the stripes one by one, with a brush. Yes heresy I know! I have spent some time sorting the position of the stripes due to the fact that the WNW colour profile is actually wrong when compared to the famous photo. I am nearly there. Much pencil and erazor work still to do. Steve scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander and Jan_G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradleygolding Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Using the photo to position some very uneven stripes! Steve 109, scvrobeson, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
