OT's Asymmetric Wonder *** Finished ***

[Kitaholic]

Accurate or not it's certainly convincing enough. Definitely going to be worth seeing when it's done

[Dazzled]

Got to agree. The extra detail certainly adds realism.

Wot they say; looks good.
With that glasshouse canopy it does need bits n bobs inside

Thanks chaps.

Just a quick update today. Time has been sparse on the bench of late but I have managed to complete the main building work and got some paint on.



I gave the whole thing a coat of aluminium before the camo went on. I am hoping a very light sanding will reveal that and give the aircraft the worn look that Winkle refers to. We shall see!

I'd not use sanding to reveal the aluminium, but a cloth dampened in paint thinners to wipe the top coats off.

Good tip. I'll give it a go.

[Old_Tonto]

Not sure I'm going to get this done on time but will crack on and see how far I get.

You've a whole week to go yet.
Shure you can do it.
I have every faith you'll finish it in time

[Old_Tonto]

Sorry Fred. I thought the deadline was this Sunday.

[fredk]

You've not been paying attention in the back Bueller

I managed to squeeze an extension until the end of the 23rd

Not much more to do and you'll have this done in the next few days
We wanna see this birdie finished
[please]

[Old_Tonto]

OK Fred I'm on it.

Was playing with decals for canopy framing last night.



I think it might work.
More to follow.

[Purplethistle]

Nice work on the framing. Are you still hoping to have a standing Winkle?

No. This one will be in flight.

A free standing Winkle is a rare thing at my age!
