Iain Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Thanks for kind words folks - appreciated - but still on a learning curve! Trying a new varnish (to me) on the undersides this evening - Humbrol Clear - a water-based acrylic clear coat that was released a few years ago - promising. Fuselage still in a warm place waiting for oil paint to dry - still takes a while even if you wick out a lot of the oil on absorbent paper prior to brush work.

LSP_Mike Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Nice work Iain. I figured you'd like WNW kits. Got a wee fan? Try moving some air across the oils. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks for the interest guys, appreciated! Photos on the 'grown-up' camera, as promised - will do as several posts as I just created a long one that was 'lost' without a trace thanks to my touch pad screwing up... Ignore any dust/fibres, they were just 'visiting' to help with the photos, not... There is a fine grain there - photo hasn't picked it up too well: Gloss black areas are primer for a shiny metal look: Back in a mo...

Iain Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Tail feathers, with re-positioned elevators: And 'rib effect': The blue is mixed - using Tamiya and MrColor acrylics. Doped linen is two shades of MRP Lacquer - with a coat of Humbrol Clear acrylic varnish. Iain Out2gtcha, Brett M, MikeC and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Now into loose 'dry fit' stage - having masked and painted the rudder stripes: Quite pleased I chose this scheme now - the blue contrasts beautifully with the 'wood' sections around the cockpit IMHO.

Iain Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 And I couldn't resist a little more dry assembling - can you tell what it is yet? And this is pretty well where we're at: Compared to my other recent modelling activity, it's a real pleasure to just build, rather than heavy-duty changes and corrections. Hopefully the assembled Wingnuterati of this parish approve of works so far - I can see this could become addictive. Good job I've got a few others in the stash! I can honestly say that if, like me, you have a few WnW kits stashed away and have put off starting your first - go on, crack one open, it's fun. Just don't ask about rigging just yet!
