Nice!

109ROAMING · 06-04-2009, 11:54 PM

Cheers guys! paint will hopefully clean it all up Cory (I said hope)

Catch22 · 06-05-2009, 12:34 AM

Dark Sea Blue will cover up pretty much anything, so there's no need to be concerned!

109ROAMING · 06-05-2009, 01:28 AM

Me too....

rochie · 06-05-2009, 10:56 AM

me three, looks good Daniel

Airframes · 06-05-2009, 12:50 PM

Me four! A bit messy, but it's OK, and it'll clean up with a rub over with a tissue dampened in thinners. Then, just wipe over with a soft cloth - bingo, shiny new again!

Cheers guys -hopefully get it covered in white later today ( may not get time cause I'm really pushing to get NZ5255 done by wednesday)

I'm gonna do what you said Terry ,get it abit cleaner -then see how much time etc I've got

EDIT: Opinions wanted please ,if I paint it all white with acrylic ,then undewing/lower fusalage with 'sea blue' enamel ,then upper fusalage/ top of wings acrylics

Will they mix and get angry? (I think possibly the turps in the enamel will attack the undercoat acrylic) What'da you guys think?

ellis995 · 06-05-2009, 03:46 PM

Can't wait to see finished product

Dan, have you received any pictures? All -1Ds were painted overall Sea Blue, unless there was something different with the Kiwi ones.

109ROAMING · 06-05-2009, 04:46 PM

Any photos of NZ5517 you mean? as far as I know none exist

Heres what I'm basing the colours on for both this build and NZ5255 (it actually being NZ5255)

I found it in a magazine -think it should be known as a -1A not -1D as stated in the pic

EDIT: note the under outer wings/lower fusalage are a different blue
