Not thrilled with the fit of the cockpit canopy so removed it this morning to make some adjustment so it will fit more snug to the fuselage! It seems to teeter from the center!! Happy New Years everyone!
Priming with my rattle can Home Depot primer revealed a problem with the canopy fit which needs a bit of filler and smoothing!!
Getting ready to highlight the panel lines, seal the gear doors, spray the belly base coat and paint the D Day Stripes!
I've seen that Revell has reboxed the Beaufighter so I'm going to pick one up at the hobby shop and do another build with current skill set!
What colors did you use for the underside? I want to do the Typhoon is the two grays but can't figure the bottom? I use Tamiya paints??
I’ve gotten some incredible deals bidding on eBay. I usually haunt eBay on holiday weekends when bidding is less active watching for deals with a few hours left on the bid!! I’ve purchased most of my vintage kits that way!!
No problem with the canopy so far Cees! I used white glue to fix it to the fuselage then a watered down version to fill any gaps. The Tamiya tape firmly held it in place while it dried overnight!!
Continuing the seam work on the Typhoon! I'm sorry I keep saying this but boy does that mixture of Tamiya Thin and Styrene really does a great job when used as a filler. Easy to apply and sand it buffs to a new plastic shine!!
Since this is no doubt a limited release kit I’ll have to save my pennies fast and buy one! I’m getting ready to re-scribe and re-rivet the Typhoon after finishing the seams. I have a MDC rivet tool but this will be my first time doing either to a model so should be interesting!!
