RalphSarc Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Well, you can buy that paint shop crew a couple of brews, Ralph. They've done a great job. Hopefully maintenance is just as motivated George George the paint shop crews is scheduled to mask and paint the Lysander top camouflage surfaces with Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green and XF-54 Dark Sea Grey tomorrow depending on the weather! If it's nice outside they want the day off!!! Can you imagine ;-)
RalphSarc Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 Wasn't to thrilled with the fit and mount og the rear Lewis Gun so decided to scratch build my own!
RalphSarc Posted September 18, 2014 Author Posted September 18, 2014 The Lysander returned to the paint shop where the crew masked and painted the upper wing and fuselage camouflage scheme With Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green and XF-22RLM Grey. The paint shop crew boss emailed me today saying they were preparing to spary a coat of Future and I would have in back for decals and weather later this evening!!
Wingco57 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Ralph, Is that a standard Lizzie camo pattern? The port wing looks a bit naked. Cees
Matt_ Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Looking good Ralph. Another way to deal with filler, at least Mr Surfacer, is to use isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). This will remove filler, but will not attack plastic. Matt 1

Matt I'll have to try that Mike as the nail polish remover was making me a but nervous around the plastic!!
RalphSarc Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Well as promised the paint shop crew delivered the Lysander ready for decals and weathering. I really like this Flory wash! The top outboard wing has had the wash installed and I've wiped away to the level of weathering I want. The panel lines popped and I even achieved a faded look!
RalphSarc Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 Almost done!! Working on the finishing the cockpit canopy this week. 1
repeater Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Coming along very nicely Ralph indeed. 1
