Nice work Tony

 

[Gern]

I knew you were a careful builder Tony, and the way you've worked through the sheer number of parts in this kit to get such a good result is clear evidence I was right!

Well i managed to make masks for this by sticking some tamiya tape to the shiny paper thats left when you use a sticky address label. Cut out your shape and then it peels off without losing any tack , i doubled it over too so i got left and right sided masks that are identical in shape and size.


Next is decals then another coat of klear and final assembly ( sticking on the skid!!) then its done


Heres some pics

Well it may only have 11 pices but that's a cracker of a buid and paint job brilliantly done

 

[colin m]

The assembly of the airframe is done

So, that's all the parts used ?

Great stuff Tony, brilliant. It looks very smart in red and white

Thanks guys , its nearly done now , ill be putting the completed pics on a new thread . Sorry about the rubbish picture quality too , phone cameras arent all theyre cracked up to be!! Cheers tony

Decals on - but what a job it was! Theres only six decals but they refused to come unstuck from the backing paper , and they were soaked in water for at least half an hour!!! Eventually i managed to prise them off ( breaking a couple in the process but they went back together ok)


They are now being left to dry and the whole thing will get another coat of klear tomorrow , heres a pic hopefully in focus today ! Cheers tonyView attachment 124231
