Same here Daniel, lookin forward to seein some paint....

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok, be back tomorrow then!

 

[109ROAMING]

Sweet as! I be filled with motivation on the grounds if photos aren't here sometime in the next 24 hours feel free to shoot me

 

[Wayne Little]

Nah...then the model won't get finished...some form of torture I think...?

 

[109ROAMING]

heading out soon mate

 

[109ROAMING]

First f##k up of the build ,mixed RLM 76 too dark

Which resulted in almost non existant panel lines after the second lighter coat

I need your guys thoughts before proceeding with RLM 81/82

sorry the photo is a little dark

 

[Heinz]

Looking good Daniel

 

[rochie]

looks ok Daniel

 

[Wayne Little]

It doesn't look too bad on my screen Daniel...are you using gloss paints?

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers guys

Nope Wayne the paint was still wet when I took that shot so I think that gives it that gloss look

It use to look like this

 

[Wayne Little]

You're using Tamiya matt paint right? if you have mixed it right it will appear a bit thick when wet but it should dry ok.....

 

[lesofprimus]

Everything looks pretty close Daniel, but the landing gear doors look the most outta whack... The panel lines look acceptable...

Is that putty or cement on the doors, or did the paint really bottleneck there???

 

[109ROAMING]

Those doors need further sanding (They weren't to great to fit)I think its cement on the doors -will clean that up tomorrow

Wayne I've decided to go with humbrol enamels because I've got to much of them and need to use them up (My humbrol paint chart came in very handy today)

Cheers Guys for your comments/help

Looks close enough to me Daniel. Just lightly sand those doors, then paint them separately - should be sound. Good work mate.
