This Spitfire is a funny shape! *DNF*

[Sissel]

Agreed. That silver does look great. Very smooth.

[Dirkpitt289]

Looking good OT!

Disaster!

I somehow managed to drip glue onto the lovely silver paintwork. So I have had to sand the wing down again.

My own fault as ever.

It just puts me behind a bit so I will struggle to complete on time now. Mask off & re-spray tonight.

[Sissel]

Oh no, isn't that typical.
You will make it look just as beautiful though. And there is still plenty of time left, I tell myself anyhow...

[ShaunW]

Oh dear, that is a tough break OT, hopefully you can fix it to your satisfaction.

[Old_Tonto]

It is all coming together now. I repaired the paintwork as best I could although I had to do some rescribing which I hate. I applied a klear coat and have started to get the decals on.



The decals behaved really well. The only issue is that the sharks teeth decals don't meet on the underside & will require a touch up with paint.



I just need to find an aerial - I snapped the original , paint the lights, fit U\C doors, klear coat & fit the exhausts.
I think I will also matt coat the black paintwork. Should be done by the end of the day.

O_T,

Looking really good, sir.

Re the aerial issue, I snapped both of mine too! Having one moulding stub might have been a better move.

regards,

Martin

[Old_Tonto]

Sorry guys. Just too much going on here right now so I did not finish & I don't want to rush it just to complete on time.

[ShaunW]

Not worth spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar OT - what you have done looks great though.

[Sissel]

Yep I agree, it does look great, and no need to rush to make a deadline (allthough I did this time, but that was for other reasons).
