Multiple hairspray/paint layers. Making double sure it works I guess!

I live in hope!

Moving on................................slowly. Got to splash on the Weissblau RLM 76 (using SMS PL189) and even found time in small installments to build and place the retaining seat straps.

All things being good tomorrow I should be able to build and place the shoulder straps.

Dang those belts look nice.

Dang those belts look nice.

Nice?? Amazing is more like it. The detail from the add-on vendors has come so far, but it does take a bit of skill to make them fit together!

Looking great!

Nice looking seatbelts Vic, great job....

Thanks for the kind words folks. The last few days have been spent messing with paint in between chores. We now have it almost done and here is a look see of where were at with a dry run on the wing fit.

Looking at the pics, I'm not happy with the port wing camo marking and will revisit this tomorrow. Cheers for now.

Other than the 'wavy' got 'fuzzy' on ya in that one area it looks great. I suspect you will have all under control in short order.

Lovely work so far Vic!

Correct Ralph, all under control, I cut a new wavy line mask last night and did the first spray. Just need to now apply the other half of the that wavy mask cut over what I've just done and complete the correction.

 

[A4K]

Good man Vic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks gents and as you can see I have corrected that bit of mess on the port wing. She is also buttoned up with the office installed though this was a bit of drama as fitted and glued the wing before realising I'd not installed the cockpit which is fitted from below. What a dumb thing to do. Still, all fixed and were now ready for the next stage.

Some pics.

Had to use a torch light to show this one. Torch could have done with some new batteries!

All buttoned up and the next job is fitting the seat harnesses, that will be fiddly.
