LSP_Kevin 30,664 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 Super work, Iain! Reminds me of some aborted Hurricane projects of my own. Kev Iain 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Iain 13,074 Posted October 25 Author Share Posted October 25 After drilling out all the cowl fasteners, and replacing some missing ones, the windshield frame was sprayed interior Grey-Green from outside and allowed to dry, before a couple of thin coats of Halfords grey primer (rattle can made for the automotive market). Always a nerve wracking moment when you're not sure what it will show up that needs fixing, especially on a fairly crude set of mouldings and a fair amount of modification. Happy with outcome so far - a few tweaks and we can paint her up... Have fun! Iain Landrotten Highlander, LSP_Kevin, BiggTim and 15 others 18 Link to post Share on other sites

Iain 13,074 Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 In further adventures of 'How Slowly Can Iain Build A Model': most of the airframe looks surprisingly good under the primer - but I wasn't happy with the already thinned trailing edges of the wing - so it's out with files, sanding sticks and wet and dry paper to rectify/improve: Blue Skies!

fastterry 161 Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 One thing that makes models look like models is thick trailing edges. It's definitely worth the extra effort to make them as thin as possible and that goes for prop blades as well (the thinning I mean). TRF Link to post Share on other sites

monthebiff 6,317 Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 Very nice progress Iain, not an easy build but very rewarding and one of my favourite kits I've built. I have the rag wing to build as well at some point. Regards. Andy Link to post Share on other sites
