Thanks Whiskee ,glad you like it fella

T (((lol))) ,havent heard from Boots yet mate ...probably be about tonight ,he needed a bit of a blow out :

Anyhooo....moving along .....props and spinner I gotta say Airfix have done a real nice job on these bits ,even though the props are not correct for this aircraft ,they do look the part ;D





And of course ,we have to have a look at it in place ;D its not fixed on here ,I'll do that after the weathering. You can also see the undercarriage is set in place ,again not fixed on yet




Thanks for looking.

Fumblethumbs,thanks ,and yes I am impressed ,if someone had given me this kit without the box ,I would never guessed it was Airfix ,the 'new' releases have came a long way .Go ahead and try one ,you wont regret it ....very cheap too !

[ShutterAce]

Awesome!. How did you keep your yellow so... er... um... yellow? Bright yellow is always a challenge.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks Shutterace ,yeah Yellow can be a problem sometimes ,especially if brush painted . The trick is to take your time ,light even coats ,I use the Airbrush ,so its a bit easier to control ,but just keep building up coats untill you're happy ,then a few coats of Klear/Future . Another tip with the Klear is ....Klear is actually a polish ....and being a polish it reacts well to a good buff ,when my Klear is dry I give it a good buff over with some soft tissue ,it helps bring up a nice smooth finish ...Like the spinner

Chris.

 

[Chris S]

Hi folks

Well I've got all my decaling finished ,which means Im ready for panel washes & weathering before putting it all together ....





Thanks for looking.
