Well I am DONE!

I got in too much of a hurry, skipped ahead of myself and I ran into some alignment issues on applying the sections of the massive decal on the top of the saucer. I applied every other piece on one night and the sections in between the next night. I should have waited until I had more time and applied all sections at the same time. Oh well, it looks okay from a distance, so I will keep it on the shelf.

I also applied some paint to where the decals ripped, going for a singed look like she took some hits but nothing penetrated her hull.

Nice work Dave! Not one you see too often.

Getting there on the cockpit, the locking rails for the canopy were a bit of a pain you have to glue a strip of plastic to a 1/2 mm rail to space out the angle that goes over it and my eyes are too small and fingers too big.

But I managed to get it done anyways.

Cheers Rob.

Still a bit of work to do on the cockpit, had to add some small tabs on the back to block the open area, and I have been working on other parts of the plane as well.

Cheers Rob.

Looking very nice Rob. You can do it!

Michael

Thanks Michael!

Some more progress, I glued the cockpit section to the rest of the fuse and added some CA to help blend in the joint then put the engines and wings on to see what it looks like.

Cheers Rob.

Wow, a lot of good work here in the last week or so! I'll have an update on mine this weekend.

Hello All,
11 days to go!
I will lock the thread 72 hours after the end of the campaign, That will give you time to get your photo's into the gallery and post them into the thread if you want to.
Cheers,
Bruce

Thanks Bruce!

Final days everyone, get cracking!

Michael

Getting there.

A little clamping and some filing and a bit of putty and the intakes are done then the first coat of white on the bottom.

Cheers Rob.

More painting done.

Cheers Rob.


Well...

Right after this post, I had put the parts on a shelf to work on something else only to have the parts fall onto the floor seams on both intakes cracked and the nose popped open with a resin part coming out.

Ah, more work.

Yikes! Hopefully you can get it back on track here!

Thanks Sean!
I think I have it almost back to before the fall.

Cheers Rob.

One week left everyone. You can do it!

Michael

Masked off the underside and painted the first top coat.

Cheers Rob.

Hello All,
5 days to go!!
Cheers,
Bruce

Getting there.

After a couple of clear coats I took the masks off, I saved the 4 edge pieces as I will have to reuse them to flatten the upper coat after decals.

Cheers Rob.

You can do it Rob!!

Michael

More progress.

I got the open panel doors all done and painted as well as the masking and painting of the wings and rudders. The doors and the masking of the wings took a lot longer than I thought it would and now looks like I will not finish for the campaign. I am going to keep at it as I want to finish.

Cheers Rob.

Painted the red on the tails and wings, unmasked then added a coat of clear.

Cheers Rob.
