geedubelyer Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Interesting notes regarding the villainous X17 I shall endeavour to be on my guard when I reach that stage. Lovely, smooth underside Carl. Good job. Cheers. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job. Cheers. The key question Guy is when to try fitting it, I think if you fit it to the pipework and bearers early on, you'll have problems like I did with it fouling the aft end of the engine.

dennismcc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nice to see some paint appear, it's really on the way now. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks Shaka and Dennis! I remembered this time to first spray a coat of interior green on the canopy. I forgot to do so on my FR IX build. It's not a great shot but I sanded off and then polished the mould parting line off the centre section. So one more step closer.

Shaka HI Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looks good, check that mask on the windscreen/top -- looks like it's peeling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Montex ones really don't like compound curves much. I've replaced it with the over from the kit along with the one for the sliding section.

Carl Nice work Carl, Montex masks are horrible on compound curves as you say, used a set on my Mosquito build as they were all I could get at the time.........horrible!!. Nice tidy bench by the way........some room to sqeeze that Tamiya mossie back in to maybe Regards. Andy Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice tidy bench by the way........some room to sqeeze that Tamiya mossie back in to maybe Regards. Andy Regards. Andy Thanks Andy! I knew the Montex masks aren't the greatest from previous experience with them but they were at hand so I figured I'd make use of them. There wasn't any bleeding that i can see so I think I got away with it. As for the Mossie, it never left the bench. It's to the left on the workstand. Hopefully soon it'll be back on centre stage.

BloorwestSiR Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 I snuck away this afternoon while watching my boys and sprayed the Dark Earth onto the topsides after masking off the Sky on the lower half. Carl geedubelyer and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
