Yep, it's getting close Alex, nice work.

A4K · 02-03-2009, 01:14 AM

Great work Alex! How's your dad doing?

Heinz · 02-07-2009, 04:15 AM

Cheers guys!

Yeah he's doing ok Evan, thanks.

Wearing some paint now, no doubt the colours are probably not quite bang on but they will have to do. I've kinda been putting off the painting but now its pretty much done.

My mottling needs to be darker I think and the rudder needs another coat as you can see.

Cheers.

Looks good Alex. Remember that the colours will darken when you do the clear coats; I think the mottle looks OK, so I'd be tempted to leave it as is. Just do another coat on the rudder, as you said, and tidy up the red band if you can. Coming along very nicely mate.

Wayne Little · 02-07-2009, 04:53 AM

Agree with Terry!...well done so far mate!

109ROAMING · 02-07-2009, 05:23 AM

Awesome mate! (You now can't say you can't make a nice model)

Also the Spitfire's looking good!

lesofprimus · 02-07-2009, 05:53 AM

Lookin great man, startin to come alive now.... Agree that the mottleing needs alittle bit more attention, BUT DONT OVERDO IT!!

Slowly add to them, build em up...

Njaco · 02-07-2009, 05:57 AM

Looks good Heinz!!!!

Heinz · 02-07-2009, 06:43 AM

Thanks guys.

Good point Terry! Dan thanks I'll definately take my time, being 1/72 I can't afford at all to overdue it

Daniel the spit is a slow build

evetually will be a 79sqd RAAF machine, the often criticised Airfix one with logs for wings
