At the same time I tried out a test fitting for the wing-tip tanks...
Well, just two minor pre-painting phases to go. The first is the construction of the rear turret and the second is the preparation of the canopies.
I already did a test fitting of the canopies and was pleased to find that they are quite a nice fit. So I can move on to the Pledge Klear dip (more on that later)...
There will also be a minor painting phase as I check all interior surfaces and give them a coat prior to the major overall silver coating. Things like undercarriage wells and nose interior and tail gunner interior surface will get a coat of mid-grey.
A labour of love Stephen!
ReplyDeleteLOL...Love, or sometimes hate! :)
DeleteI'm taking this carefully as I haven't build many planes, not of this size and the amount of filling and sanding I have done worries me. We shall see if my scraping away at the surface shows through after I paint the main coat!
