Still needs diving planes!

Yep, 1/72 WW2 British fighter tail planes.

1st round of Putty is done.

No idea if it's Freudian, but my brain read that as "1st pound of putty is done"

That will probably be pretty accurate by the time he's finished... 

'Under weigh'... oh dear - if that was a typo, it's just about excusable; if not, where's the 'throttling someone' emoji?

As an ex-sailor of the Royal Australian Navy I prefer to use the more nautical & accepted alternate spelling of the land-lubber "under way".

Let's say he was making a pun about how much putty was involved. Yeah, yeah, that's it!

Works for me. 

And yeah, I usually look at things from a Land Lubber perspective but I should have realized that was an alternate spelling, rather than a typo... sorry about that!

Very interesting !

P-S-P-S completed.

Currently has a partial primer paint job, which I'll finish off shortly, so I can see what I've missed & what needs fixing.

[Old Wombat]

4 x major + 2 x minor PSR sessions & I've gone as far as I have the will-power to go on smoothing her out.

Added the vertical fin (top one) & one hydroplane (the others will be done over the next few days but ....

... I've just finished a double shift today/this evening, so I'm going to bed, as I have a day shift tomorrow, & I'm not doing any modelling until tomorrow evening after dinner.

[Old Wombat]

All four hydroplanes on, now.

A fix-up of a slip-up needed.

Finishing off the hydroplane attachments, checking for any remaining visible or "feel-able" blemishes, then a final blast of primer.

I'll take a few photo's then & have a think about any more greeblies to add (Oh, & some scribing work).
