C'mon Daniel, shake a leg mate!

109ROAMING · Jan 27, 2010

Just for you Wayne

Today ,brought some thinners , added the canopy and front glazing and a couple of windows and got the 2 Turrets assembled

109ROAMING · Feb 5, 2010

Today masked off the areas to be painted and installed the turrets . Was about to get the paint ready WHEN

I realised

The instructions (incl painting guides) have gone walkabout

Anyone able to help? Looked and looked but they've buggered off

Heinz · Feb 5, 2010

Had a good look on the net Dan mate, Airfix don;t seem to have downloads for their sheets anymore!

109ROAMING · Feb 5, 2010

Thanks for the help mate

I'm guessing I may just have to paint it based of as many photos as I can find

Heinz · Feb 5, 2010

I've got the Revell instructions
if they are any good for the camo placement?

109ROAMING · Feb 5, 2010

Damn that'd be sweet mate! Thanks!

Airframes · Feb 5, 2010

Yep, the upper surface pattern was the same as the Lanc Daniel, and you can use the side profile I sent you for the upper/lower demarcation on the fuselage. If you're still stuck, let me know, as I think I have a colour plan view of the MkIII colour/pattern somewhere. Meanwhile, get a box/file/bag/bl**dy big safe to keep your bits and pieces in safely !!

109ROAMING · Feb 5, 2010

Will do T

Learn't that one the hard way and have lost not only the instructions but also parts of the rear turret

Il be painting soon

Wayne Little · Feb 6, 2010

C'mon Daniel get you're sh!t sorted man!!

lesofprimus · Feb 6, 2010

109ROAMING · Feb 6, 2010

109ROAMING · Feb 7, 2010

Will have the Dark Green on tomorrow , still abit to do but I'm aiming to have it finished in little under a week

Thanks for the support guys

Vic Balshaw · Feb 7, 2010

Wow Dan, lot of paint there, and a lovely job

Crimea_River · Feb 7, 2010

Looking good Daniel

A4K · Feb 7, 2010

With CR!

How many coats have you given the Dark Earth? Looks like it may need to be strengthened in some places.

Airframes · Feb 7, 2010

Nice one Daniel - agree with Evan though. Another coat should do the trick I think, to stop the white plastic underneath influencing the tone. Even in that scale, it looks a big sod! Gotta get me one for that diorama I mentioned - 1/72 scale though, aint't got the room for that horrible FM kit (or the readies!!).

Wayne Little · Feb 8, 2010

making some good steady progress Daniel!

109ROAMING · Feb 9, 2010

Cheers guys

Took your guys advice and applied a second coat before applying the Dark Green just before
