No, silly, the second 'R'!

Ah! I thought it was just your way of abbreviating 'representative' to avoid the double glottal stop ( and the subsequent risk of triggering a hyperventilaing attack)Martin R wrote:Surely that would be Mah - repreesentatuve - tun, approximately.Purplethistle wrote:"Martin R

Well, I decided I couldn't and went for 10mm dead on the grounds that I can't measure to less than a mil. Finally got the first coat of night black on tonight. Unfortunately, I'm off on holiday for a few days, so no more 'til I get back:Martin R wrote:Oh poo! I was just about to exclaim triumphantly that I had finally masked up the Hellcat invasion stripes when I realised that I'd got the wrong dimensions. I should have known something was wrong, as the dimensions looked 'off' even to my eye and didn't fit too well on the aircraft. So, that's an hour and a half of my life down the drain . . . repeat after me, an 18" stripe in 1/48th scale is 9.375mm (Ok, 9.5mm for cash) wide NOT 11mm.
Hmmmm! Could I claim 11mm wide is a 'representative' width . . . ?

Invasion stripes finished and masked. Silver misted on round the leading edges. I'll apply some Maskol and then get onto the undersides and red cowling ring.TomW wrote:Martin R wrote:Now back with internet connection. I hope to get the painting finished by the end of the GB.
That's very much the same as me Martin, the Fury will at least be painted before the deadline
