mozart Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 She has an identity! A tricky piece of spraying with the three-part undercarriage arrangement, but I'm very pleased with the way that it worked out, no need for any touch ups: geedubelyer, Greg W, Kagemusha and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Can you see that little guy a bit further down the track with the black/white checkered flag? No idea why I can hardly wait to see this beauty waved off and finished Lothar mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevepd Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 It does look weird to me in the photo without tanks, but yet a Single seater clean is graceful. I’ll get my coat...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 I've managed to find a picture of XL609 plus tanks @Stevepd! I imagine these will be standard Hunter ones finished in Dark Sea Grey or similar with silver undersides. She's definitely a 56 squadron plane now: I've started looking at the canopy, cleaning it up is somewhat "stressful" because I'm aware that one slip of the knife will be disastrous! I thought masking it would be quite straightforward but no, the demarcation of edges isn't great, so again more stress. So I'm trying an experiment: I've made "masks" for each of the three basic shapes that comprise the hood. Having photographed these shapes (I'll be doing a better one!) I'm going to import that into the Silhouette cameo and trace around the shapes, I need to mask inside and out so it's an efficient way of doing it (in my book at least!). More adventures tomorrow!!

Alain Gadbois Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looking absolutely beautiful Max. Good luck with the masks. I really should get into this Silhouette cutter, as it opens up so many possibilities with markings. Alain mozart and Derek B 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are absolutely right, the Silhouette does give so many different possibilities, really the extent of your imagination! I’d be lost without mine.

mozart Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 The canopy masks that I designed and cut yesterday fitted well, just a question of finding time now to spray the frames: Derek B, Greg W, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 She's on her legs! I hope to get the rest of the main wheel well covers on today, but I'm not at all happy with the rear front wheel well cover, it's far too near the vertical, so that's all coming off so I can have another go. I really, really, really hate the Revell "instruction" sheets, about as much use as a chocolate fire screen....
