Hi Alan

That really is looking very nice indeed. Well done.

Cheers guys. I'm well impressed with these masks. I can see me getting more of them in the future.

Very nice paintwork Al, love how the pattern turned out and neat mottling too :thumb2: .

Alan.
A great looking paint job this is progressing very nicely.

[AlanG]

Actually got a little free time today (after grass cutting, dividing strawberry plants and listening to my footy team play). Got the black underside painted. Just a few little touch up areas to do but it's getting there.

Looks great. Nice work with the masks.

Superb paintwork and masking mate. I need to keep those masking companies in mind since I have a 109 in the waiting room as well. Keep up the good work!

Cheers

You know that point when something happens in slow motion and you get the slow "nnnnoooooooooo"? Well it's just happened.....twice.

Dropped the 300L fuel tank and broke a mounting point. Repaired it with some copper wire and then added the flory wash. Only to go and drop the £$%$^ thing again and break two other mounting points! Guess i'd better get the copper wire out again.

On a side note. I've added the Flory wash to the satin varnish coated black underside. Never done this before and it certainly makes it look different. I normally only use a gloss varnish, wash then matt varnish. But i thought i'd try a satin varnish to try and 'keep' a little wash on the panels as well as the panel lines.

Looking very nice Al, lovely painting and masking!!!

[AlanG]

Cheers Bob. Trying new things as i go along. Not touched this for a few weeks due to work and mental health. Nice to get back to it and try and get this finished in time to finish my P-38 GB before i start that silly named tank GB

[BattleshipBob]

Silly tank??? Oh you mean a T34:upside::tongue-out3:

[Steven000]

That damned gravity again, good to read you can fix it with some copper. Looking good :thumb2:

[AlanG]

Cheers Steven. Still can't believe i did it but hey ho. These things happen.

Going away for a week now (tattie holidays) so will have to crack on with this when i get back.

[Steven000]

Have a nice trip :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

[AlanG]

Sorry for the delay in updates. I've eventually made it back to my model bench. My mojo went for a walk and my mental health has been playing havoc with me too. Ah the joys. But hey ho. Gutted not to have finished this in the GB timescale but i needed to get my head sorted out. Still not 100% but there again who is?

Anyway i've made a start repairing the dropped fuel tank guides. Copper wire to the rescue. Also fitted the landing gear struts. Once this is dry i'll be adding the slats and canopy. Then it's just a few ancillary bits, a final weather/paint (exhaust mainly) and seal then it's done. Not before time either
