What's on The Workbench

[fubar57]

Nice innards Wojtek. After downing some pain killers, i got downstairs to finish off the main painting, From this....

...to this...

The usual touch-ups to follow. I found two sources that said the glare panel was black and the fin was O.D. and one source that said both were O.D.. Just to be different, mob rules. I have all the National Markings and S/N in the spares box but no codes. I found a sheet of 36" letter somewhere(really gotta start learning to bookmarking crap) which may be a tad small but whaddayagunnado? Off to the Interlands.

Geo, have you thought about just making those codes yourself? If you cut strips of black decals (say those from invasion stripes that people rarely use) and cut them to make the P and N, that may not be too difficult. The letters are also relatively easy to mask and paint.

sorry Geo, i did not look back in this thread, i reckon i have the 45' codes you need !

at work now so will have a look and confirm tomorrow

Son of a . Wasn't thinking Andy. I've got all sorts of invasion stripes laying around and if those aren't the easiest letters to make up and thanks for the offer Karl, HOWEVER, minutes after I posted, I ordered a set of letters. Gonna be banging my head for days over this.

EDIT: Just saw your letter Bill. Many thanks for taking the time

That's looking good Geo, nice transformation.

Tail flash by Airfix, roundels by Eagle Strike. MicroSol had no effect on the flashes. Round 2 with Mr. Mark Softener, seems to be settling.

Thanks Wayne but I couldn't live with it. After staring at the photo of the real aircraft, I came to the conclusion that the minority is more likely correct and changed the anti-glare panel to O.D.. The difference between the panel and letters is too great to be the same color methinks and is closer to the O.D. on the tail.

looks good to me Geo, and sorry for not seeing those letters earlier as it would've saved you from buying some !

 

[fubar57]

No problems Karl. One can't have too many decals.
