It looks like the fuselage PSR is finally done!

Mind you, the last primer coat was in red primer, so it looks VERY weird to me just now!  :-\

It's got wings now, longer ones of course.

And also available in duo-tone red/grey!



Just the PSR on the wing joints to do, and that doesn't look too serious a job, and then I can re-prime and paint it with luck.

That red really defines the shape of the back end Kit..now I can see it quite well 😄
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

It's all over red now, looks decidedly strange to me, but it works pretty well.

If you hadn't have warned me about it Chris, I might not have taken so much care over it. Many thanks.  :thumbsup:

There'll be no progress on the Shrimp this week as I left it behind during my short break in Suffolk.

But I did take the Horton 267 with me...............

Have a drink, I hear they have a good punch on draft. But it might leave your throat a bit ho(a)rse.

Okay, I'll get me coat...  ;D  :cheers:  :drink:

I don't, drink that is, as it triggers my asthma. It seemed I was allergic to so many odds and ends in various drinks that I just gave up totally in 1972.

After umpteen PSR sessions, and having got hold of some Halfords GREY primer  ;D the Shrimp reached the re-scribing stage, and I did all of that which I was going to do today.

So it's ready for proper paint.

Also available in silver.  ;D



It would help if I'd also re-scribed the port wing of course.  :banghead:

Later, later.........

Coming along nicely, Kit.  :thumbsup:

I like the reasoning behind the reused canopy - something to remember.
(yeah, late to the party, did you really expect anything else from me?  ;)  )
