By Gawd!! All these years I've been living a lie. That's the stuff, by gum.

Great advice all, thanks. Dymo tape from work will be aquired in that case.
Today is the day of masking -

And now time for decals -

Does anybody know the size (in 1/48 scale) of the roundel that I should apply to the side of the fuselage?

Cheers Chris

Colours look good Chris. The standard C1 roundel would have been 36 inches so 0.75" or about 20mm in 1/48 scale.

 

[s1chris]

Much appreciated. Should hopefully get them applied today. Yeah I'm really happy with the colours, for a change from Tamiya I used my Vallejo Air and mixed up the dark slate Grey myself.

Cheers Chris

Oops, thought this was the PTO Build, sorry.

Decals look great Chris.

Good work so far!

 

[s1chris]

Thanks all.

Just about finished. Just the undercarriage doors to put on and the ariel. I ended up hand painting the "P" and "4" in the codes but although still noticeable I'm well happy with what I achieved. Much better than I expected. Not bad for my third model in my adulthood modelling adventure lol

I had to make the prop from the original as I couldnt be bothered to wait for one if I order it.
Happy with the folded wing as well.

Cheers Chris

Looks good Chris. I had to go back and look at the "P" so it's not that noticeable.

[s1chris]

Thanks Geo, have now finished completely.

Should I still created a "finished thread" ?

Cheers Chris

 

[fubar57]

Don't see why not. There is also a "Completed Models" thread.
