Winnie Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Pascal, My wife has a Silhouette studio, so I made a sheet of masks for D-Day stripes, and with that I included a circular mask, that I cut out in Oramask 810. The circle turned out ok, but way too big, I used the 2PiR formula. Which turns out I had the wrong measurement but it is what it is. The Vinyl is softer and stretchier than paper, so it is easier to make a proper mask fit. Cheers! Harald. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 OK, last update before work for 2 weeks... (I DID get quite a lot of modeling in, next time off won't be near as prolific, as life and work throws wrenches in those plans. Anyway, my Vinyl masks for invasion stripes worked remarkably well!! I am pleased as can be with these! Looks a bit dirty in the radiator exhaust area, but that is easy to clean up. Also using the gear doors as a mask turned out to work real well too! Next up will be some clean-up, then gloss. but in two weeks or so! Cheers Harald R Palimaka, MikeMaben, Biggles87 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 I had a very short time off, 4 days, of which 3 were busy with stuff unrelated to enjoying time at the bench... BUT! Got a few stickers on on the one side! Cheers Harald Madmax, Kendzior, Landrotten Highlander and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Got the last of the decals on, but alas 5 days home, of which 3 were spent remodeling (building and buying Ikea furniture) for the wife's she-den. alas, I hope in 3.5 weeks to have some time for my own to play at plastic. need a clear coat and some weathering on the ol' gal now.

Winnie Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks for your interest! I did get the gear on and some light weathering, but I was waiting for a product to do more. Go home Tuesday, so will likely ork some then. Cheers Harald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainn it was something i did. for some reason my fuselage is about 2mm wider than it should be so the Canopy wont fit properly, unless the canopy perhaps is squished... Anyway, I have almost finished the kit, looking forward to putting it on the shelf! MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javlin1 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I pick up one of these kits and built it and fell in love with the design bought two more yours is looking really Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Are there any other issues you have noticed besides a few fitment problems that need addressing (gun ports) ? I'm getting ready to start the same model, and still debating a NMF vs a painted scheme or even a combination of both. I'm relatively new to the hobby. That will probably be the deciding factor to choose a painted version over NMF, but hey....Ya gotta start somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
