Shame about the bum instruction George but I do admire your pluck in trying to put it right. I hope it all works for you.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry to create extra work Geo....

All good Wayne. When I first saw the instructions I did pause for a moment but instructions have never let me down in the past. Odd that no other builder mentions this. Final respray shortly and then carry on. I really want to finish this before I head back on Tuesday

Repaints top and bottom complete

​

I'll let it dry and start the decals on the areas that weren't touched up shortly

Fuselage balkenkreuz. Would it have a black center or just white outlines? I've seen one with similar camo and just the white outlines as the 82 and 83 run though the fuselage balkenkreuz

IMHO just the white outlines

With Stephane.

Thank you

 

[Vic Balshaw]

It's good to have knowledgeable friends.

 

[fubar57]

It starts

It's significantly slower now.

 

[fubar57]

SaparotRob ....but I have learned that if the pilot leans forward in the cockpit, it gives the illusion of speed

Real nice Geo and well salvaged - just like the nucks.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks Andy. I don't know why they try so hard to lose. They constantly struggle to get out of their end and when they do get into the other team's end, they go into passing frenzy. Giving up a clear shooting lane to pass to a guy that's covered by three of the opposition. What really surprised me is that they 27th with shots on goal yet are 2nd with goals scored. Anyhoo....bottom decals redux.

​

Main decals are on and just need to put on some stencils. Lots are in black so I'm not gonna bother with these. Note mass balances still hanging in there

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I've been on a couple of hunts for my mass balances over this build, now I've covered them in tape in an effort to protect them.

 

[Crimea_River]

Great fix.

Great job Geo

 

[fubar57]

Lil bits. This is the first time I've sprayed the prop and spinner as I felt I would have less bleed under where I masked off the white. Pretty pumped how it went. I also bored out the cannon

​

Model was gloss coated for weathering as well.
