1/72 Short Stirling BIII - Heavy Hitters II GB

[T Bolt]

I was back at the Stirling today and masked the canopy and bomb aimer's window. I had made a start on it a week ago and wasn't at all happy with it so I put it aside and have been concentrating on the B-24. The window pains in the vac canopy are not well defined and that's what let to the problems. I couldn't see where I was supposed to cut, but I'm reasonably happy with the masking now and again have a hope of making the deadline, although I still will be concentrating on the B-24.

[Wayne Little]

Well...the hard part's done...

 

[T Bolt]

I sprayed on the dark earth last night before bed. I'll make up paper masks for the dark green from copies of the plans.

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys
I painted the dark green last night making paper masks by scaning the painting guide from the instructions, pasting it on a word doc and streching it unitl the size matched the model. (I usuly use a copy maching at work but it was Sunday)

 

[Catch22]

Turned out great!

 

[Airframes]

Sure did!

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys.
I'm not sure I'm going to make the deadline with this one. I think it's going to need some time to sort out the vac turrets and I have some other commitments coming up before the end of the month. I'll see how much I can get done, but I don't want to rush it and I also DO want to get Booby Trap done before the dead line. I don't know why I always torture myself with these multiple entries like this, but I just has to give the Stirling a try for this GB

 

[N4521U]

Amen bruddah for them multiple entries.
It's a smashing job you're doing tho.

 

[Crimea_River]

Turning out real nice Glenn.
