That’s a really nice job with the scheme Andy…..looks sweet

[JR]

Considering all the trouble you had as the build went look at it now ! Fantastic, your painting skills Andy take this to another level .Nice, very nice.

Thanks for the great feedback Jim, Si and John.

I had a crack at the canopy this afternoon. Literally.

I used the supplied masks but some were a bit too big. Whilst trimming them down I managed to put a split into the area near the rear gunner. I'll put that down to battle damage :smiling5:



I then assembled the pieces carefully with TET and got the paint on. Fingers crossed the demarcation between the colours is at least close.

The rest of the plane got a coat of clear to seal the decals & washes. I used Mr Color GX-113 matt, but by applying it lightly and thinning it with Mr levelling thinner, it has a slight satin sheen which I prefer to a full matt.

Blimey mate,that's some dedication!!.. superb stuff for sure,
I know you don't like this kit... But I'd be well chuffed with that!!

[scottie3158]

Looking most excellent.

[Tim Marlow]

Excellent work Andy. She’s looking the wasps pajamas now :thumb2:

[Andy T]

Thanks all :smiling3:

The irony isn't lost on me. A kit I dislike more than any other is turning into one of the best looking that I've built (in my humble opinion) :tears-of-joy:

[Guest]

I don’t think you’re far wrong with that

I've been following along in the background and irrespective of the problems you've encountered Andy. Tis turned out grand buddy. A credit to your determination and skill.

[adt70hk]

That's looking brilliant already. Great work indeed.

Andrew

[Andy T]

Thanks again everyone.

Sorry for the late reply but I've been busy elsewhere. Because of that I haven't done a great deal but have made a start on the oil work. Just one colour for now so it will hopefully get more interesting as I add others:



I've also painted the props & spinners.



I'm still waiting for the exhausts to arrive. I wish everyone delivered as promptly as John!

[Andy T]

Exhausts turned up. Nicely formed with just a touch of clean up needed.

I painted them in Mr Color burnt iron and will do a bit more work on them now they are in place. I did put a bit of black wash in the outlets then discovered while trying to clean my brush that my water pot had frozen solid :tears-of-joy:
