Ians Blitzed Friedrich

[TimJ]

Great work so far. Keep it up.

[Ian]

Good idea, Bruce.
So, sprayed white.
Yellow painted.
Underside painted.




I am cheating and going with an Eastern Front aircraft! It's the only way I'll be done by 10am.
See you all in the morning.

[Old_Tonto]

That is looking really good. See you tomorrow.

[Ian]

Morning all.
Bruce, I used a home made mix for the undersides. I've used it before but for some reason it appears to have lost some of it's 'blueness'. Hopefully a really good mix and a 2nd coat will sort it out. Hopefully....
Better crack on!

[Ian]

7am and all is not well.....
The undersides still look not very blue - but am going to have to live with it now.
Prop and spinner painted.
Legs and wheels painted - need to tidy these up and paint the tyres.
White needs a coat (or 2 where I have painted into it)
Bomb painted.
Reattached aerial after breaking it off for the 2nd time!



I always seem to cut the Blitzes close, but this one may end up not being finished....
Wish me luck.

[Ian]

8am - painting completed.
A couple of quick coats of Klear
Starting on the decals
Both these decals split.
Hope the rest perform better

[Ian]

Sodding decals!!!!!

[Ian]

OK - so everything is on that's going on (in one piece). I have some touching up where the decals have split to do.
1 hour 20 mins to go.....

[Ian]

Touching up done.
Decisions decisions.
It looks too plain on top, so I want to use some Pro-Modellers wash. Can I get it on, off and matt-cote in 1 hour 20?
I will apply another coat of Klear while I think about it....

[Ian]

8:45 am

[Ian]

I like a challenge. Let's go!

[Ian]

50 mins to go!
I may like a challenge but I am not mad. Panels lines washed top and bottom.



Better start wiping it off now.....

[Jagewa]

Ian, wowsers the tension! My finger nails are suffering... you can do it man.

Cheers
Jim

[Ian]

Your nails are suffering? I've nibbled my arms off!
