Progress.





Added a couple of drops of gunship gray to the ocean gray and sprayed the 'new' paint areas hoping to create a slight difference in shade. Also have used a bit of licence with the borders of same trying to make it obvious that it was a repaint over old markings.
Sky band may be a tad large. I measured and marked it 40 odd times and still fluffed it up.
And would you believe my masked and painted canopy has gone MIA. Its a conspiracy I tell ya.
Finish line is near.

Looking very good. The sky s-type strip on the fuselage seems to be really a little bit too wide. The real one was of 18". So you should subdivide 18:48 for its correct width.

Thanks for the comments.

Am nearly finished. Maybe the judges will give me 24 hours grace?




Had all sorts of trouble with the wing decals. Need to touch up them up.
Have left the pregnant sky band for the moment.
Just needs a flat coat and the final pieces attatched.
BTW I found the canopy. As soon as I stopped looking it turned up.

Cheers,
David.

Done! Thankyou all for your comments and patience.

Just need to take some decent photos when it stops raining.

Here is a taste.



Not quite as good as it should have been but....

Cheers,
David.
