The pile of sprues. I've made a start on the interior colour. I didn't have the pot colour for this, so I've used Vallejo Air.
This will be an O.O.B. build. I don't want nor need expensive aftermarket things. Some of which would never see the light of day once buttoned up. I'm perfectly happy to do without the stuff. Equally, I do like to see others using it. To each his own, as long as none users are not demoted in the ranks.....
I get all my fun and self satisfaction from building what's in the box, or as my good mate Idu would say "Man, dat am de way de cookie am crumblin'"
The model will, as usual, be brush painted. For this model I will be using those little pots of paints and glue that come in Airfix 'Starter' kits.
No primer. I rarely use it. I was surprised how well the green first coat covered the shiny black plastic.
I've made a start painting the fuselage halves too.
I don't use masking tape, preferring to 'Freehand' the lines. There is usually a panel line or summat similar to nudge the brush up to. Any 'wobbles' can be rectified during subsequent coats of paint.
I'm using pot No. 33 for the black and No. 30 for the Dk. Green.
I like to first coat large plastic on the sprues.
Cheers.
Ron
