Barry's Widgeon *Finished*

[Barry]

Mid-air oops with a refuelling boom.

[Barry]

Almost done. Waiting for the arrival of a decal for the wing registerations.

[JohnRatzenberger]

Red & White, two of the worst colors to get to behave ... well done !

[JamesPerrin]

... at least it will be eye catching.

[Barry]

Finished. When's the next one? I've got lots of flying boats in my stash!









And, here it is compared with the Airfix





The most obvious difference is in the shape of the wind screen. Pavla is correct, Airfix is too flat.

Stunning finish Barry! The colour scheme really sets off the boats lines a treat.

Tom

[Barry]

Thanks Tom.

[JamesPerrin]

... at least it will be eye catching.

... and it is, very. You got a nice finish in the end.

[PaulBradley]

Lovely, barry! Good to see the comparison with Airfix as well.


Is that a photo of Queenstown as your background?

[Barry]

Thanks. Queenstown it is. How is it that you recognize the place?

Something distinctive about the mountains, and I've seen photos of the airport there before.

They are rather "Remarkable"

Barry a beautiful looking Widgoen. Top job Sir.

How did the Oldmodels decals go?

Cheers
Jim

[Barry]

Thanks guys.

The decals were problematical Jim. The film is thick enough to leave a noticeable edge. The red ink was very transparent so didn't look as 'red' as the painted leading edges. Having already decided to paint the long fuselage stripe, I also ended up hand painting over the decal trim on the tail and engine cowlings as well. I have three other Old Models sheets....we'll see how they do.
