Jet Provost T7A

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Here the wee beastie is, all sanded and blended and and already wearing a coat of Dark Sea Grey. The Yellow 'trainer-bands' on the mid chord of the wings and around the fuselage, were sprayed and sealed with varnish at the beginning of last week. You can see - if you look carefully - where they have been masked.

Just about to report for a date with the Aztec and some RAF Dark Green.

Here it is.... all better now !




And how's about a quick family snapshot ?



That will be just about it till the middle of next month for these two - I won't (ever) rush a project. On Friday I'm back on watch for two days, then Sunday evening, the almost Mrs. Hunter-Gatherer and I start our latest adventure.... Off on our Honeymoon  

Y'all know we aren't a conventional couple, so we havin' the Honeymoon before the wedding. Off to the Galapagos Islands on a photography expedition, then home for a day and then off again; driving over to Germany to see the out-laws

Again, what did you use for the masking ?

Looks like Silly String, you just get drunk (you know how to do that, right?) and fire away!  

Lookin' good Ian!

Ian that's one of the sharpest Provosts I've ever seen! Excellent work on that camo paintjob!

Brian da Basher

[Captain Canada]

you know how to do that, right

Unfortunately, all too well these days !

GAH!!!  Your plane, like, has worms!!

I rather thought this was a spaghetti plane, nice!
The final result is more classical, less "what-if"... but nice anyway...  

[BlackOps]

Don't you people recognize toothpaste when you see it?  

Lookin' good Ian!  Wish I were off to the Galapagos!

Thats Blu-Tac Ian has used - and a very simple and effective way of getting soft edges on your camo schemes it is too

Ian, those planes are both kick-donkey    

[NARSES2]

I love looking at your stuff Ian, can't wait for the finished articles

Hope the Honeymoon goes well

Ah ha! Another adherent of the blue-tac and makol method of masking. Brilliant method, but you need to put on a decent layer of maskol otherwise you get all sorts of nasty bleed through's. Also, I find that the blue-tac can be a right bugger to stick on the surface at times as well.

Superb looking JP you have there Ian. I hope you have a damm good honeymoon
