I'm definitely liking this stuff....

[Lucky13]

More fiddling....

 

[Wurger]

Looking good. What colour is that?

 

[Lucky13]

Been....a wee while, since she was painted, think that spot got a touch of that famous gray, should be aluminium....I think! Better check the instructions!

 

[Wurger]

I would say there should be the RLM 02.

 

[Lucky13]

Give it a wee dust of RLM 02 then, instead for aluminium....

 

[Wurger]

A good idea.

 

[Lucky13]

Many thanks my friend!

But you has to know that these colours of the wheel bay and also the leanding legs could vary from kite to kite. The base is the RLM 02. However it seems that these could be of the RLM65 , especially the "trough". What is more there was a leather or fabric "pinny" inside of the main hole. While the canvas one could be painted for protection against water, dust , mud etc..( but no evidence ) the leathern one preferably not. So it could have been of the brownish or tan leather tone.

Nice to see some paint flying, Jan.

Good stuff old boy, and looks like the only '109 waiting to be fitted with tank tracks !
That putty looks interesting. Does it 'mould' well and, when dry, is it hard, or 'powdery' ?

This is an acrylic putty. So no wonder it can be easy to use. But stiil thinking that there is a kind of misunderstanding of the purpose of the gap filling process and the sanding especially.

Nicely done so far Jan!

Thanks old boy. Seems it behaves a little like Milliput, but being acrylic, I presume it sets quicker. Could be useful for small gaps or depressions.
