Congratulations Malachi on the completion of a very challenging subject. It looks fantastic!

Started decaling the Mk.II tonight.

I really do not enjoy these multiple piece roundels.

Gotta get this bugger done if I'm taking it to Loveland this Saturday! 8)

holy cow lots of work being done here...

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks David!

Decals complete...

Did I mention I don't like these multi piece roundels?

I need some info. Not that I can fix it now but are the starboard codes in the right position? I had the XR forward but then I figured I'd better check. The decal sheet only showed port so I jumped on the web and check someone else's model. Good thing I did cause I was wrong. So is this normally the way the RAF did it as opposed to the USAAF?

Note to self:
DO NOT use hand sanitizer to wipe down a model painted with PollyScale that was thinned with Future!!!

:'( :'( :'(

Looks like weathering to Me....

Looks like a nasty problem, but you might be able to put it to your advantage

 

[fumblethumbs]

It may buff out Jim!?!

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks guys. It's actually down to the primer in some spots. It seems to have mainly effect the DG on the top wing and spine so if I could figure out a way to mask the roundels I might be able to save it. Pulling that off and finishing her by Thursday is a whole different ball game though. At least the kids will have something to show at the show this weekend.

 

[ShutterAce]

Well, I may have saved it. :-\

Quite a bit of overspray in some places, and I'm not sure where I got that pattern for the port wing, but with some extreme weathering I may be able to pull it off. These birds did get pretty worn in short order so I'm thinking the overspray may work if I can make it look like the result of some extensive patch painting. ???

When life hands you lemons.....
.... you make lemonade.
It looks good.
Just think how you will feel about it, after you have kicked it's a$@, and whipped this ol' crate into a great model of an ol' crate!
;D

 

[Quaralane]

I think you can make the overspray work for you.

 

[java]

Great camo,shame about the little problem you had,but you will fix it.

 

[Myke]

I would agree; I think you can defo make the over spray work to your advantage.

I'm calling this one done. Not my best work. There's a couple of bits missing. Namely the antenna, mirror, and pitot. I didn't lose them, I threw them away while cleaning the bench one day. :

It's the Tamiya MK.I with the Revell MK.II spinner and prop. Pollyscale paint and aftermarket decals too.

Anyway, here she be.

 

[ShutterAce]

Forgot one...

 

[JMac]

Great work ShutterAce. Love the weathering.

 

[ShutterAce]

Thanks JMac. i'm glad it's done. It was becoming work. Know what I mean?

 

[Quaralane]

Looking pretty good, actually.
