The camera or you ...? What did you use for the bulges removing?

Alex for the work you could use the tool I told about here :

Off to a good start Alex!

Cheers fellas.

Ah probably me Wojtek Thanks for the link!

I taped around the wing bulges and then used a heavy grade emery paper and then a very fine one to smooth it out. Then a quick polish. Some primer will tell how effect I was. I can't really feel if its rough, feels smooth mind you I'm a guitarist and after years of playing I have little feeling in my finger tips LOL


Cheers.

RGR....

Painted the underside wings to see how my humbrol azure blue would go, safe to say it looks the right shade to me. Also started on the cockpit, assembled those big under wing guns and have the wheels ready to go. Only problem is I've mislaid my tin of interior cockpit green which is ridiculous as i use it quite a bit!

Ah well I'll post some shots when I get up as I've just got off work and its 2:43am as i write this.


Cheers.

Great research there Alex!!!!

 

[Heinz]

Thanks Paul.

I've done a little on the cockpit which I'll post in the next few days when I get some time as work/study is taking the lead at the moment.

Camera not actin up again is it???

 

[Heinz]

Haven't checked it to be honest. I'll get something up over the weekend I've just been exceedingly busy with other stuff.

Cheers.

Better be other "models" SON!

 

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to some progress Alex!

 

[Heinz]

[109ROAMING]

Oh SWEET! Glad to see you on it mate

 

[Wayne Little]

Good to see something is happening Alex!

 

[Airframes]

It's on its way! Nice one Alex!

 

[Heinz]

Cheers guys. Painted the details in the cockpit and the tyres as seen in the foreground. Had a bit of gip from the Humbrol Matt black seems it need over 24hours to dry. I bought a while back but apparently its one of the newer tins.

 

[B-17engineer]

Agree with all. Way to go Alex!!

 

[lesofprimus]

Glad to see u back on it Alex....

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice work! I have this exact kit waiting in the wings and will watch this space closely. I was thinking of enering the D in the HH group build.

 

[Airframes]

Ah! Another one has the dreaded Humbrol virus! I think someone at Hornby needs a good talking to, and also needs to start looking for a new factory to produce the paints if they want to use the Humbrol name.
