Hee hee hee!

I'm guessing it was a senior moment. Like today, when I turned on the boiling water tap at work and proceeded to stick my hand under it! Ouch.

regards,

Martin

Aligning the wings atm. Not fun

Finally some real progress. I could feel my mojo slipping again but I've got it back. Probably helped by a new set of decals arriving.

That's cracking!

It's moving along at a rapid pace Toby

Yes. It's astonishing how much you can do if you don't go to the pub.

First coat of intermediate blue is on.

That looks well

Engines painted. Needed to cut down the back plate to enable them to fit into the wing nacelles and some filing of the cylinder heads was required to fit into the cowling.

Hole cut in top of fuselage for the observer's bubble and leading edges painted. Masking is not going to be fun for the rear vertical stabilisers.

Masking finally done but had to disassemble the tail structure to get the fiddly bits on. I can still see there being problems with some of it and may need to use a small hairy stick in the end to finish things off.

That is great work Toby.

The Ventura is a really good looking aircraft.

Coming along well.
Any more progress?

Yes been spraying the underside prior to masking for the top coat.
