The perfect model! So happy for you, now you can watch all those Disney classics (before current standings) and not look like you're losing it.

Damn Don...already watched enough of FROZEN ....Let it Go...Let it Go....ringing in my ears....and others with the first one....

However I don't mind MOANA if I get a choice...

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Vic yes 2 now and a cutie like her sister....

Now back to modelling...got the airbrush functioning again so painted the Upper colours of the Mk.VC first and then added some of the Ocean Grey to the Mk.IX....
Even though they look ok, not entirely happy with both Mk.V colours, Green a little too bright and brown a little too light.....probably alter them with a little overspray....

Had to scroll back a few pages to see where the Mk V came from. These dual-build threads confuse me, and that's easy to do.

 

[Wayne Little]

well I apologise for the confusion Andy not my intention, I started the Mk.Vc well after the Mk.IX Primary GB build and just decided to run it in the thread rather than a second GB entry, it went together rather quickly and caught up to the GB build....

So....Dk green started on the Mk.IX delayed slightly as I was reviewing the camo scheme and colours applied...
In the mean time pressed on and improved the colours on the Mk.Vc and masked the leading edges for the white to be applied...

Lovely stuff Wayne. Colours look great.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Love it.............................Sorry. Them.

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys.....work continues..... finished the dark green, like Andy's Bird this is over an hour and half's work to get tight and right... with further added time to touch up spots....this bird does have a couple of Lighter Grey areas done to cover the original roundels....
Pastel work has now also been done.....

 

[Vic Balshaw]

[Wayne Little]

Cheers, thanks Vic.
