Is he up yet?

Must be having a lay-in

It should look good with the decal on.

Hey Mark, your alarm is going off. Up and at 'em.

[Titan]

What paint are you using?

Thanks Splash I used Xtracrylix only for this build as they are good colours and they dry very fast although they do tend to gunge up the airbrush a bit but I can live with that.

Is he up yet?

Up at 5am and started work at 6 am.

Hey Mark, your alarm is going off.

That will be for my eggs..

Well I started with the decaling as soon as I got in through the door with the aid of a hairdryer to get the Microsol to dry quicker.









I will lightly weather the model and then give it a coat of matt varnish, add some lights and see what time I have left cos I might stick some MG's on it or not.

Looks like the canopy idea worked out for you. I really like the colors and markings. Looks very nice indeed.

Wonder what it would be like to fly that thing?

[Titan]

I don't usually Bruce but the tape was hanging off anyway, it just means that I will have to be a bit careful as I don't want the canopy fogging.

Wonder what it would be like to fly that thing?

I don't think I would have wanted to sit in it when/if it flew.

 Here are the penultimate photos as I can't hang this build out anymore.

I post shaded a mix of Brown/black along the panel lines.





So the last things to do will be to flat coat and then add the lights and that's it I will not add any Mg's this time but may do so in the future.

Just finished this little craft, it's basic but it's not turned out as bad as I thought it might.



Thanks everyone who chipped in.

Nice piece of work, Mark.

Excellent, very well finished - good blitz that man. It's an odd looking little aircraft though, looks like something you'd chuck at a dart board

[JohnRatzenberger]

Good choice for a Blitz ... and looks good all finished !!!

Having seen the results of several P/F explosions I would prefer to be in a bunker when they fired it up.

Thanks to all for the comments on this basic kit which does not scrub up to badly with a little work although having looked at it again I could have done a little better with the join around the canopy and also some of the silvering on the decals.
I think that I will get another and try again now I know what to lookout for.

Many thanks again.

Mark
