Best of luck mate, hope you enjoy the new place!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Me thinks he will, it's got it's very own hanger (upstairs room) for modelling.

 

[A4K]

Room for a tenant?

Looking good old boy!
Easy with the move and good luck!

right'o got the first two shades of paint on, med sea grey on the bottom, ocean grey on the top.
this took two goes as i convinced myself i'd put the wrong shade on the lower surfaces after i'd masked the bottom off so i ripped off the tape and prceded to paint it again.
but as i soon discovered i had done it correctly and as i's started on the demarcation line i had to finish painting the wrong colour on then re-mask and re-do the correct colour on the lower surfaces once again !!!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That looks great Karl, are you still hand painting!

 

[Wurger]

Looking good Karl. However the gap at the bottom of the radiator should have been filled. And the "stair" of the junction between the fuselage and the wing at the bottom should have been as well.

.. and using the D-9 instructions to build a Tempest must surely be challenging! Agree with Wojtek but love the paint job.

Actually I have thought it was a new kind of a napkin and I was quiet about that.

 

[Airframes]

Agree with the guys, but nice paint job mate.

 

[rochie]

yes Vic, still hand painting.
i have filled the seam under the radiator, but the step behind the wings i'll live with.

thanks all

got the dark green cammo on tonight and a couple of coats of yellow on the spinner, pics when work allows

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff Karl!

 

[rochie]

as promised pic of the dark green cammo
a couple of touch ups required then the yellow leading edges to do(should have done them first i know) and then the exhausts to mask off and paint
