The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red **Fertig**
The German Aviation Advisory Service bought several T.20 aircraft. Some were equipped as target tugs.
So nice and red!

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
It fit together slightly better than the T.20. Maybe the new fuselage is slightly better matched to the wings.
I did try thinning the trailing edges this time, but probably not enough to make a noticeable difference!
And then some filler was applied, sanded and off to the paint shop for some light grey on the seams.
Still a fair amount to do!
Cheers
Andrew

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
Trying out the Ferrari Red on Panzergrau colour idea on the spinner.
It came out pretty nicely. That means I can spray the whole airframe with Panzergrau primer. So that's nice and easy!

Several on EBAY right now. Kit is cheap, even with CAN$ right down the pan, postage much greater! May be cheaper to ship from UK than USA.gnomemeansgnome wrote:This is going to look quite spectacular. Now I want to get my mitts on a T.20.....
I'll probably finish this one as D-CAMI

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
Thanks for the heads up, David and Andrew. I believe a more local solution may be had at an LHS on the west side of town. But I prefer to sit back and watch you all work some furious magic on this aircraft for the time being.....

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
That was NOT the last round of filling
However, to give the illusion of progress, I have masked the yellow propeller tips and sprayed the blades black.

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
Started priming.
It is very humid here in Ottawa today, so I am using very thin coats of primer and leaving longer than usual for it to dry.

Re: The Deutsche Luftberatungsdienst Sees Red
But there was enough for another coat of paint on top!
This is close to the look I wanted.

Blimey. That's bright. Wouldn't be easy to lose.
