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.

Re: Toby's Ventura PV-1
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.

Yes. It's astonishing how much you can do if you don't go to the pub.iggie wrote:That's cracking!

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

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.

Re: Toby's Ventura PV-1
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.

Re: Toby's Ventura PV-1
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.
