Sharp Paul!

Looking real nice Paul.

Great - in French !

 

[meatloaf109]

Not sure about French, but here is the progress so far.
Thanks to all for looking in!

 

[Airframes]

Neat work Paul. Just one thing though - is the white nose a personal marking, as ikt looks rather wide?
The white I.D. band on the nose was normally 24 inches wide, which, in 1/48th scale, equates to approximately 12.5 mm. Vertical fin bands were 12 inches (approx 6.25mm) and tail plane bands 15 inches (approximately 8mm).

 

[meatloaf109]

Ah, now that's where you caught me. It is preparation for the checkerboard pattern.
More to follow!

 

[Airframes]

Ah Ha! That explains it then! Thanks Paul.

the biz paul........ sorry, one handed.

 

[Wayne Little]

Look forward to that checker pattern Paul!

 

[Catch22]

Me too Wayne.

 

[meatloaf109]

Clear coat on and the checkerboard, (for what it is worth) is on.

Please tell me those aren't individual checkers.

[Airframes]

Nice !

 

[meatloaf109]

Please tell me those aren't individual checkers.

Geo

yep, every darned one.!?!

 

[Catch22]

Yikes Paul, I guess it's better in some ways than a full sized decal, but that would've been a pain! Looks great though.

 

[meatloaf109]

Oh, no, let me clear that up; this is a decal, it's just that I have to paint to clear them up!
To straighten them out.

 

[Catch22]

Ah, ok!
