What's on The Workbench (4 Viewers)

Spritzing done....for the most part. A couple rookie mistakes. Anyone that's used Oramask film knows that it isn't very bendy so I use little bits of hold down tape until I'm ready to spray. When I'm ready to spray, I'll remove the lil bits of tape, press the Oramask down and spray. A few touch-ups, not big deal. The roundel will cover up the lack of Dk. Green on the left wing. I was getting really bored with masking by this point. I let this set and then do the yellow leading edge stripes in a day or so; backwards, yes but easier for me to mask this way

Well happy St Paddy's day me boy, ah green it is.

 

[Donivanp]

It's an AGREE conga line!

Looks good Geo

[SaparotRob]

It's looking real good. Real good!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I like it George.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks all. Leading edges have been spritz with my yellowy/slightly red mix. A few months ago I pre-mixed full Tamiya 10ml bottle full of this. Should save mixing for a while

I also shot the prop tips with this and after the Canucks disappoint me once again, I'll fix my Dk. Green boo boos

 

[Donivanp]

Getting there. Lovely work so far

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I do like that camo it's quite different to the conventional pattern.

Deecals have started. As per Andy's build, I started with the wing-tip walkway line to ensure everything else lined up. What attracted me to this aircraft is the caption said it had late war roundels on the upper wings....so be it

​

Not sure what Airfix's thoughts were but for some reason they neglected to mark out wing tips lights so I used one of my Mk.Vs for measurements and painted them on

Nice George

 

[fubar57]

Thank you Don

 

[Viking1066]

Very nice! Well worth the work you putting into it.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Strange Airfix forgot the wingtip lights, well sorted George and I like those roundels.

 

[Viking1066]

Agreed!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys, roundels came from the spares. Need to add the red centres shortly

 

[fubar57]

Centres added, not a big fan of this method but I can live with it

 

[Airframes]

Geo, I've had a look at a number of photos of the Mk.XII, and it seems it didn't have wing tip nav lights.
The wing tip fairings were, I believe, wooden, which may account for this.

This is the beast I'm building, Terry
