Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
I managed a little more work last night and got a coat of auto primer on.
Don't look too closely at the bomb bay. It's good enough for Government work.
Actually it looks a lot better than I expected, just a couple of areas need attention. Does anyone know what colour the wheel wells should be?
Should not be too long before I get the paint on.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
First coat of silver is on.
A few more problem areas have come to light.
Deal with them and try the silver again. I just want to get this completed now.

There's a Polish machine in Model Aircraft Monthly, Feb 2002 which has gear bays, including the inner surfaces of the doors, in zinc chromate yellow.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
Don't know if it's the same plane Barry mentioned - but there's a pic on my thread O_T.
I mixed something similar using yellow, light grey, and a touch of interior green.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
There 'tis. Not the same plane, but the same look. There a couple of walk-arounds in Google Images that show this.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
Keep at it OT, as a lot of us have found out, metallic paints are a nightmare for showing additional flaws that didn't seem apparent before the paint went on!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
Finally got some more work done on this old dog.
I spent some time filling & sanding more holes molded into the fuselage (why didn't I buy the Trumpeter kit? ), applyed primer and then silver again.
It looks a lot better now, a coat of klear is drying on it now.
I am very aware that we are into the last week of the group build now so won't spend too much time weathering. I need to paint a couple of panels a darker silver then a little wash to highlight the lines that I have not sanded away.
Still to do:

Still to do:
- MAKE the turret fit!
Mix up some yellow chromite paint for the wheel bays
Apply decals, wheels & U\C doors
Fit aerials & wires.

Re: This Beagle is a DOG!
Last night I spent an hour or so playing a game called 'Ram it in' but in the end it was worth it as the turret now fits.
I am not sure if the cannons will ever move but at least I did't snap them off.
Over all she is coming together:
I am not sure what coloue the dome under the fuselage should be. The instructions call for black but I can't find any photo reference to confirm this. Anyone know for sure?
Hopefully tonight I will get some decals on.
