I haven't been able to get much work done at the current temperatures here in Denmark, sorry were just not used to 25 degrees plus... Correcting the rear windows... Hoping the weather will turn, so that I can get on with the build Before moving on: I'm thinking of painting the cockpit light grey instead of british grey green... Would that be a no go? Kent Thanks Kent, quite classy that one! I’m interested that you think the windows need “correcting”. Yes, on the port side the window aft of the door needs cutting out if you’re not doing a Dominie (like me) but are there other issues that I’m not aware of? scvrobeson, 109 and williamj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if the 'Dominie' you will be building has the rear window on the starboard side... The bottom frame has a wrong 'inclination' I'm not sure whether the military version has this window?

Am following with interest, Cheers, Quang Kent's photo is more Sonic Blue from the 1960 Fender chart. Surf Green is my favorite Fender color. 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to who knows where.....WD40 anybody??) Good spot Kent, yes mine has five windows on the starboard side and four on the port. Disappointing however that almost immediately an inaccuracy on what is a fairly basic part of the kit is evident (to eagle eyes) already! Correcting the resin will have a knock-on effect also for the PE and clear resin too presumably in that area. The Dominies also appear to have a wind-driven generator on both upper wings rather than just the more-often-seen port side only. Extra ampage for the radio equipment no doubt!

I'm not too worried about the PE frame, if it doesn't work to remodel them, I will have a go at casting them in resin. It' s fiddly but has worked before. Colorwise - I'm going with Oxford Blue, I like the name, it has a certain class to it! Same color was used on my Lynx.

mozart Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It's an oft published picture Kent but this hi-res copy was sent to me by the son of the pilot. He said his father was bored to death flying Dominies and wanted to get onto ops! Oxford Blue is definitely classy...... it was the colour of my front door!! kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Phew, that was a tough one... Been working on the passenger seats trying to get them to look like the real seats of a DH.89 And no, I haven't been painting the 'sunrise' pattern on the seats... After much 'brooding' I came up with the solution of printing the pattern and seam's on clear decal paper. There's even is a little 'wrinkle' here and there. All in all I'm quite pleased with the result Kent Edited June 29, 2020 by kkarlsen Trak-Tor, RLWP, quang and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
