Nice, the old dog has some life left in it yet - as Mrs W says to her mates about me

Now that does look good in its French make up.

[Sissel]

Looks nice and colorful, the scheme really do fit the plane

[AndrewR]

Coats of satin varnish to seal the decals on top (last night) and underneath (this afternoon). I've also repaired two of the rigging lines which had come adrift, added the wheels and the propellers.



I still have to add a couple of aerials, rigging line and the exhausts. I may have to scratch build the latter - the kit parts are rather feeble. There are also the carburettor (remember those?) bits on top of the engine pods. I cut off the original vague plastic shapes and I will replace them with two vague brass rod shapes

cheers

[AndrewR]

Almost finished!



New, more substantial exhausts installed.



Outlet pipes on top of the engine nacelles.



Masking removed from the windows (without knocking in the port side passenger windows ).



Tyres repainted and a tailwheel from the spares box (probably a late model Spitfire retractable specimen!) added.



The only thing that is not so good is the framing around the windscreen, which I hope to sort out tomorrow.

cheers

[Stuart]

That looks supurb!

[Zee28]

Lovely stuff, those colours really suit it, nice work Andrew.

[ShaunW]

That looks great Andrew - like the Gosling was born for that scheme

[Molly-new]

Looking good.

[AndrewR]

I've been working on blending the canopy in more with the fuselage. It's better, but not perfect. I still need to scrape the excess paint off the windscreen with a toothpick.



Very close to finishing now...

cheers

Andrew
