Decals??? What kind of decals? F-18s, Hawks???

Ian the Kiwi Herder · August 13, 2012, 09:54:08 PM

The decals are for a 1:72 project... not this one, I already have the decals for this and have had for a VERY long time !!

OK, so here's the results following the first PSR session. Should have it done with one more visit to the workbench. Will break-out the tripod for the next pics these aren't very good at all $:-\$

Obviously going to be done in a varnished wood-grain finish, yah?

No guns? PR job, perhaps? $:-\$

Good news(ish). Been working on a couple of 1:24 race-car projects (NASCAR Stock Cars, if you happen to be interested in such beasts, drop me a PM and I'll send you a link or two to where I've posted them), finished one, just about to finish the next; but tomorrow, I'm taking a break from the last question on my last module of my Real Estate Diploma - mainly 'cos I need some help with this very last question - and I'm going to start painting the little Northrop. Should have some photos up on Wednesday my time.

Manly hugz to all (you know who you are

)

And here it is:

Very shiny, very smooth and very, erm.... blue, RLM78 to be exact

- More soon, stay tuned

I was going to say it was very blue, but you beat me to it

tc2324 · September 07, 2012, 07:52:37 AM

As long as it doesn`t make you turn the air blue, I`ll be looking forward to the next update.

Ian the Kiwi Herder · September 13, 2012, 08:01:06 PM

That's the paint slapped-on !!

For those interested in such things, the colours are all Xtracolour enamels: Intermediate Blue (WWII USN colour), RLM78 (WWII Luftwaffe desert scheme) and under the wings only, Barley Grey (Current RAF camo colour). Looks OK, not great, but OK.

Coming along nicely

I think that Humbrol paint tin is still having problems adjusting to being upside down at the other end of the world
