Thanks. To get a decent depth to yellow I spray an undercoat of either dayglo orange or red. Works a treat. The rigging is a combination of patience and luck.Softscience wrote:Toby, this looks incredible. I envy your rigging and painting of yellow prowesses!

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Tail rigging on. Engine attached. Top wing decals applied. Not long to go. This is one cracking little kit.

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Nearly done. To quote the last words of John le Mesuriur "It's all been rather lovely"
I can heartily recommend this kit.

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Thanks iggie.
Next up is the 1/32 Roden Siemens Schuckert D.III. I've got a Pheon decal set complimented by Aviattic lozenge set as Roden decals are notoriously naff.

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Masterful job with that Stearman, Toby that really does look the business. The SS D-III is an interesting late war fighter and what a great collection of schemes for it, I'd be hard pressed which to choose TBH - nicer problems to have!

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
That's a superb Stearman build Toby, very nice indeed.
That's a very nice looking set of decals.

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Thanks chaps.
Started work by drilling and cutting out the hand holds on the fuselage and louvres on the bottom of the engine nacelle.
Will tidy up later.
