Wingco57 Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Ah good luck then. Nice way to try out new sets as well as learn new skills. Cees
Mish Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 Well good progress today the Dark Earth sprayed I'm trying out AK Interactive paints on this build. Then I laid down the masks. This is the first time I have ever used masks and these a re a prototype set from Topnotch Models for the Revell Mk II. So took a bit of working out how they all fit. The developer was kind enough to talk me through the start of the possess using Skype. Dark green goes on tomorrow. 3
rieser Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Enjoy the world of masks!! They can be addictive... 1
mywifehatesmodels Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Looking great, Mish. Things are about to start coming to life on this one, it would seem. John
Mish Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 Indeed, lets see how well I can use masks.
Woodshedwings Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Great stuff! Reminds me I need to crack on with mine. Anyone have a spare couple of hours in the day to lend me?
Mish Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 I'm on borrowed time myself It's looking like at Spitfire now 3
Administrators James H Posted December 13, 2015 Administrators Posted December 13, 2015 Looking good! Perhaps my favourite part of a project (next to first opening box). This will look sweet with decals on.
Mish Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 I always put off painting camo, unless I'm free-handing it. But these masks have worked great. Going to spray the walkway lines like you did on yours Jim.
Mish Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks Guys, today's progress. She's got her legs and the decals are going on. The decals are Eagle Cal and are very thick, requiring Mr Mark Softener to get them to settle. More tomorrow 4
Administrators James H Posted December 21, 2015 Administrators Posted December 21, 2015 Looking sweet 1
Wingco57 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Nice to see those oversized roundels. The Air Ministry added the 2 inch yellow border for uniformity. The squadrons though otherwise.Cees 1
Mish Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Today's progress, more decals. Just the underside roundels to do along with all the little stencils, then I can move onto weathering. More tomorrow. 2
Wingco57 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Never seen a Mk IIa spit with yellow spinner before. Something you learn every day. Oh eh Mish, the Mk II spit had a small blister fairing just behind the spinner on the starboard side. This covered the Coffman starter. Cees
Mish Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Hi Cees, Don't get confuse by the title of the thread It's the Mk.IIa kit but I'm backdating it to a Mk.Ia Sorry my fault as I was going to build it as a Mk.IIa originally.
Mish Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 Well not lot to show you as I'm waiting on washes drying on the spit but I have ordered a pilot for her.
MikeMaben Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Looking quite nice. They may be a pain but I like the big roundels as well. No mistaking it for anything but British. 1
