Finishing up the last one while staying married! I don't think she was too happy today when she found out I has entered two in the current GB. I guess I'm expected to do stuff around the house too.

right here is more progress
decals finished, flat coat done and a light panel line wash done
Bader only had this Va for 3 flights including the day he was downed so i havn't gone mad with weathering
spinner and prop not finished yet and only dry fitted

Damn mate! looking Sh!t hot

brucejscott · Sep 6, 2011

Very, very nice. The subtle weathering looks good. If I could brush paint that nice I would put away the spray gun.

Looking good mate.

Crimea_River · Sep 6, 2011

I agree.

rochie · Sep 7, 2011

thanks chaps.

have had a mini disaster the left side serial numbers have folded up after i put them on. probably from me picking it up !!!!!!
but i never noticed (not sure how)and have now slapped on 2 coats of matt varnish which has sealed them on, i'm going to leave it for now then try and get them off at a later date and replace them with numbers and letters from a decal sheet i have !

Wayne Little · Sep 7, 2011

Looks pretty good from what you've done so far in the pics, Karl. good luck with the fix mate!

tigerdriver · Sep 7, 2011

Decal Disasters are common - ask me how I know. No - don't bother! If you haven't got that serial give us a shout.

Cheers
