First coat of light grey went on fine and shows the pre-shading (perhaps a little too much!
). I want her to look worn but air worthy.
Next I mark out the pattern with white tak using reference photos to get as near the original as possible. A quick repair to the port canard is required.
A short while later that darker blue\grey is applied and the white tak removed.
That will do the job. Annoyingly I have knocked off the small wing fence on the starboard side so will have to make another.
You can see where it was just next to the wing dogtooth that I have broken the end off.
I wonder if it came away with the white tak?
This build is fighting me all the way. Pitot tube has gone too.
I still need to figure out how to simulate the radar warning receivers or 'Cats Balls' as they were known in the SAAF.
There should be two on the tail and another pair on the nose just forward of the cockpit. I wonder if I could shape some sprue to fit?
Anyway whils I ponder that I'd best get on with the U\C and missiles. More to follow.
