Plus avoids the placement of that "target" underneath the pilot  ;)


GOOD thinking Chris.  :thumbsup:

I've heard that comment made about the roundel placement on Lightnings too. (That's REAL Lightnings, the ones with their engines on top of each other.....)

Sea Vixens as well. Pilots must have hated it - "shoot here"  ;D

Having finished off the last lot of PSR on that recalcitrant starboard upper fin, I started to think about applying a first primer coat, and put the model down on the table......

The lower starboard fin fell off!  :banghead: :banghead:

The styrene rot seems to have gone right through the boom, darn it. So I strengthened it with an overall coat of superglue, waited till it had hardened off and then superglued the fin back on. It's looking a lot better now, but that means I'll have to re-do the PSR on THAT fin now!  :banghead: :banghead:

Oh dear, the first coat of primer has shown that it needs LOTS more PSR before it's ready for any other paint.....  :banghead:

1st stage of the 2nd stage of the PSR........

It looks a lot better all one colour, but it does bring out the faults, lots of them. On the other hand the container looks terrific, but then I had very little to do with that of course.

Thanks, hopefully it'll look better in green.  ;)

That'll be after a LOT more PSR though, close up it looks terrible.  :banghead:

The PSR's really done and dusted now, or as much as I'm prepared to do anyway, and the final primer coat's been applied.

I had a brain wave about the 'targets' for the magnets set into the container. I collected four small & short self-tapping screws and screwed them into the underside of the fuselage in the correct place to match the magnets.

Result!  ;D




And here's the container in position. Look, no hands!  ;D

Verrry nice. And sexy on the dark red velvet!  :thumbsup: Remembers me of some famous glamour shot.

Velvet? That's the my duvet cover, it does make a good background though.  ;)

A red velvet duvet cover?  That would be rather heavy and hot...

;D

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Nonononononono, it's red, yes, but not velvet. No idea what it is, just 'cloth' as far as I know...........  ;)
