nmayhew Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Bit of hs chipping on seat Used non blooming CA glue on the windscreen which was actually a decent fit And my one concession to scratching the alignment of the guns was helped by leaving the panels off so I could insert the barrels afterwards, but the fit of the panels themselves was poor my attempts to fix them were equally poor and I wished I had done better Trak-Tor, AlbertD, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 All markings custom masks from TopNotch Got the whites a bit wrong in the star and bar and have subsequently changed them but overall pretty pleased with the look it’s a big beast!

nmayhew Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 And if anyone is in any doubt, HGW wet transfers are just f*ng awesome!! Lay them down like a normal decal leave overnight then peel off the film and the result is pretty damn awesome - no traditional decal can come close to this MikeC, AlbertD, Alex and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Almost there with the gear now I have to add the two struts from the outer gear door to the main oleo; I snippet these off as the fit was impossible otherwise and it’s difficult to see but I had to sand down the stub on the oleo at the top of the leg (ie bottom of picture) so that the outer gear door would sit in the slot / opening in the wing Note the stub does does not match up with the recess in the gear door - not even close i wonder if I am the only one who has had this problem? still, I have now glued everything and it seems to ‘look’ right dodgem37, scvrobeson, Trak-Tor and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
