cheers rochie, i'm not strong on the technical stuff so it's good to get advice from guys like terry who know about planes.
 
Coming along nicely.
That's one of the great things about the forum, lots of expertise and knowledge to call on when you need it.
 
I just saw this thread - first great job.

suggestion - the spinner would not have an 'indentation' at the propeller line - it would be perfectly faired with no depression. I would probably fill with putty and sand smooth to get rid of the imperfection from the plastic mold process.

the plan is to do the clear matt coat and then use a fine artline pen.I thought about doing the outline before the clear but it being lacquer it will react with the pen.Hopefully this should work.cheers!

Looks brilliant mate! Just one point if it's not too late. The 'Malcolm' hood was frameless at the front and rear, being just thicker moulded perspex, so doesn't need painting.
