Pugz's Explores the Dora ***FINISHED***

[Pugz636]

ok i can do that.....i was a little confised when u said rlm 66 i must admit but its ok ....

[Pugz636]

ok canopy off, no damage....and cockpit repainted......for the record my kit doesnt seem to have a red decal for the canopy what does it look like?

[Pugz636]

dirk you should go with ur scheme and get the starter kit and do the JV44 scheme with that...the scheme isnt in the box so youll have to use your other decals...

I would build another.....and I might yet....ill get this one finished first....

[Pugz636]

oh yeah....thx brews on the starter kit there is no common section....but there might be one on the sky models decal sheet, ill see if i can find one....thx for the rlm decode btw i did mine in rlm 02. i knew what it was but didnt know how they equated. I was confused cos 66 is quite dark but its all good now..

This build reminded me how great single kit group builds are and for that i thank you...

[Pugz636]

only draw back is the hannants flat varnish has dried high gloss, so I have diluted it further and added another coat and will continue to add coats every 30 minutes until its flat.....

[Pugz636]

Yes i put it in a separate container stirred and applied it is dulling just not as quick as usual, maybe its cos i have had it a while...

[Pugz636]

right then, different cockpit colour, red decal applied,canopy reattached and the varnish issue fixed i am calling this one done....





more in the gallery thanks again for all of your comments and feedback throughtout the build, i couldnt have done it without you....

in summary, from starter kit to finished product, which is a surprise. whilst it doesnt have the decal sheet of the normal boxed kit, it doesnt have some of that kits problems either, this went together really well and i have enjoyed this build immensely. im actually pleased with the finished article and i havent left it to the last minute...although i may do another...LOL

Well done on your completion Pugz and good luck to you if you decide to make another in this GB.
