kkarlsen Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 The printed naval hex sheets from Lukgraph have arrived... Tests to see how the decals react to different pre shading colors. So with the pre shading color in place... Progress of the decal'ing of the fuselage. The light grey is also Lukgraph's decals. The colors could be tweeked a bit, but overall I like the result, not too stark in the coloring. The floats with a darker version applied.

Next time I will use my masking method for the floats. Some last detailing: Wing fuel tank. Compass The wings are finally done, I had to do them twice because I had an accident with some 'alcohol'. I'm quite happy with the end result being 'prototype' decals and all...

scvrobeson Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Great job Kent! Is the wing compass something required for all FF33s, or just the L version? Matt kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Further progress... Top wing in place, fitted like a 'glove'! Some of the details of the CHFT model (wireless) in place. Generator from the WNW's W.29 kit + Compass at the wing root. The MG ring is also adapted from the W.29 kit.
