Always good when the masking comes off and the effect is as it should be...

Thanks fellas.

Got more work done over the past several days.

Bottom was sprayed FS 35622 Pale Blue. First time I sprayed it was acting odd, then it dawned on me I kinda forgot to put primer on first , so to the sink we went to wash it off. A dry coat of primer later the blue went on smoothly.

Canopy was coated with future and allowed to dry (first time I've ever used it) and loved the effect. Sat the canopies on the aircraft to match up the paint. After drying this was my first test fit. I need to sand the front of the cockpit first in order to get a nice tight fit.

The only upgrades I used were a pair of intake covers from "Two Mikes Resin Accessories" purchased from Hannants (they REALLY need to open a branch in the US - I feel like I'm supporting the British Economy on freight charges alone!). I copied the paint job from the picture that came with it, but I don't know what the H V stand for.

Tomorrow's agenda is paint the leading edges black, weathering and landing gear.

Nice work David. I guess the 'H' and 'V' are abbreviations for Starboard and Port, in Swedish.

 

[Catch22]

Nice!

 

[Crimea_River]

Harboard and Vort.

Looks great David!

Trust Jan's lot to complicate things - left and right, but from which view point, front or back ? !!! Port and Starboard old boy, can't go wrong then !
