Wingco57 Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 It’s beginning to look a lot like....... a British Toom. Still need to adress the gap between the cans and tail. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Been preparing various parts for paint. I will use most of the Tamiya tailpipe parts on top of which the Spey cans will be glued so as to get a good view of depth when you look into the tailpipes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 The cans have been sprayed in a black basecolour. Some faint traces of the printing process but some light sanding should eradicate that. Testfitting the tailplanes, it’s certainly begins to look like a Toom. Some more work is needed on the area between the cans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasProbert Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I’ve been really enjoying watching this come together, Cees - there’s some amazing workmanship going on here. It looks every bit a Brit Toom - just gorgeous! Tom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Me too, never though I would reach this stage. I had to remove some US aerials that were not present on FGR2’s. Next, ready for basecoat to check for flaws. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 First coat of dark ocean grey applied. There are some irregularities but not much considering that this is a frankentoom. I am quite happy how it looks. I also got the Vulcan cannon as this was a regular fit in the RAF. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well mate, it's hard to see any irregularities from my screen! Looks splendid! I really like how you did those Aux doors on the flanks of the engine sides, they really came up well. Considering the surgery involves, I am totally impressed at the results you have achieved. Thanks for the inspiration for me to keep plugging away on mine!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasProbert Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This is looking really tasty. You could never tell looking at it now the amount of work that's gone into this - the surface detailing looks great from where I'm sitting. I'm keen to see the green go on and then she'll really start to come to life. Tom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingco57 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Nope, it's Ocean Grey that serves as an undercoat. The EDSG will go on top of that. But will concentrate on the underside first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
