Thanks all. Prepping for paint. Gonna lighten up the YZC a tad with grey. For the blue I have these two options. These are the closest when I hold the bottle up to the screen. XF50 is a tad lighter with a greyish tinge

Looks like some nice fitting there Geo. Hope that snap was nothing major.

 

[Wayne Little]

Those 2 colours look identical on my screen, XF-17 is way darker than XF-50..

 

[Vic Balshaw]

My screen shows XF-50 a shade or two lighter and a little greyer.

Thanks all. To install the stall strip on the leading edge of the right wing one has to cut a notch out (A). There is not stop line so you have to estimate how far to cut and then cut across to finish. Too far and you have a gap behind the strip that will need to be filled. Nailed it

Didn't know what a stall strip was until I saw this. The other day I was cleaning up the wing glue joint on my Hasagawa AU-1 and almost filed it off. Good thing I didn't.

According to Dana's notes, Xf-50 could be used on the tail and under the wings on a -1A

[Vic Balshaw]

[le_steph40]

good stuff..!

Agreed !

 

[Crimea_River]

Good stuff, if you like mud.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far George!

Still prcastinating spraying, finding little bits to add. Adding gear covers and flaps as they will be all painted YZC and scraping off the paint for gluing will be a pain in the keester. As can be seen, I've entfernenned one piece off the rear gear door and it is now glue in place and resting comfortably

Gonna have to paint it eventually....
