Shoggz Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Some solid progress tonight, but also some significant setbacks. I got some pretty bad overspray on the insides of the canopy parts which necessitated a lot of fettling with thinners and cotton buds to clean up. I now need to touch up the clear parts. Schoolboy error and I’m annoyed with myself. Furie, MikeC, Rocat and 10 others 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Fascinating to see those big wing roundels. I'm unfamiliar with that style so this looks most intriguing to me. Keep at it Richard. Shoggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Looking good, I think it's the markings as much as anything else that make the early Mk1 look different; Shame about the paint lift, I don' think you'll get away with calling it damage from 'erks' boots that far out from the fuselage.

dennismcc Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Now that is looking great, just how I imagined it would look from the period B&W photos, setbacks are normal in this game, well they are the way I build anyway. I am sure that you will handle the paint slippage superbly. Cheers Dennis. Shoggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggz Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Well, at least the decals have snuggled down nicely after copious application of Micro Sol! Lots of work to do - There are a number of pictures of the real thing which I need to study. The chipping and wear on the wings was influenced by the box art, which seems to show the aircraft more used than the photos do - so I'll be adjusting it back. patricksparks, Rocat, MikeC and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed we do Mike - I'm sure I can get it all sorted, and I actually like the look of the model already - even with my faux-pas!

John I can't blame paint lift for those John - that was my own chipping endeavours! But, as you rightly suggest - and particularly after closer study of photos, I need to dial it right back.
