A char-grilled Yak Tony, think I’ll stick to the Tunnocks. Looking very good mate.

New compressor arrived wednesday but didnt get time to set it up till yesterday . Seasonal red nose now on ! Next up mask off the red and apply a bit of pre shading/ mottling ready for the underside light blue

[adt70hk]

Looking very good indeed Tony! I must admit, I nearly went for the red nosed option but chickened out!

Keep up the good work!!

Colour starting to go on now , Hataka AMT 7. Ive pre shaded certain areas to get a bit of interest in the colours- being mainly wooden in construction there arent a lot of panel lines or details to liven it up . next up top colours

[yak face]

Top colours now on , AMT11 and AMT 12, both Hataka acrylics .

That's coming on nicely.....my son actually had a go at me for not doing this version as the one I did was not interesting enough!

Keep up the good work.

Got the decals on now and Ive started to get the final bits fitted . The exhausts have been drilled out, painted and fitted and the undercarriage is now in place.Using wire Ive added some brake pipes and the sprung hinged linkage that closes the inner doors when the undercarriage is retracted as the tyre hits it . Ive sprayed the exhaust and gun staining and the rest of the airframe will be getting a pin wash to highlight the few panel lines and control surfaces.

Coming on very nicely Tony. A much smoother paint job than mine.

But knowing much about these I didn't realise the wheel bay flap closed and opened as it did.... Almost elegant in it's simplicity!

Keep up the good work.
