Lunch was very nice, beans on toast. Highly recommended for a blitz as it releases energy slowly.



Progress of sorts. The tub is finished.



Just coated the canopy with Klear ready for masking then fitting.

Time check:

THERE SHOULD BE A PICTURE HERE BUT THE SITE IS WRONG ABOUT ITS SIZE SO WON'T LET ME POST.
I have spent as much time fighting this as modelling today!

Daughter has risen, been fed & I removed a terrifyingly big spider (her words not mine.)from the computer. So now I am a hero too - I couldn't see it without my specs.

OT your my Hero the spider sounded terrifying

Beans on Toast hot? you must have time to spare I always have mine cold and out of the tin to save Blitz time

"Pictures over 800" I have had that warning when the width was right but the height was over 1000 high.

If I use portrait format I always set the height to 1000 so as to get the max width.

No comments about fit? Well, you know what they always say? "It's nothing that a belt sander and wood rasp won't take care of!"

SWMBO always knows when there is a Blitz on. Especially a couple of hours after I am in bed.

I was chatting recently with a lady 'of the other persuasion' and after she stated 'We don't need men' I countered with 'Who would get the spider out of the bath?'
She had no response.

Nice looking lunch!

That's hard core Splash.

The server keeps telling me my pics are too big but I always edit them in photobucket to meet the size restrictions before I upload them. I wonder if my PC is caching them somewhere and is trying to load those rather than the reduced ones direct from photobucket.

Finally the server is letting me upload again:


About the fit. I had to shave quite a bit off the wing to fuselage join on both sides but the plastic is very thin so it was easy.

Got the radiator & small bit attached whilst the canopy dries.
I am about to whack a coat of Halfords primer on it, pics as soon as its dry.

No it has Lanc, Wellington, Mozzie & Beafort too. IIRC it was a Fathers Day gift from the kids so I like to be seen using it.

Time for a snack whilst the primer dries:





Not too bad. Just a little filler needed at the wing roots and along the nose seam line.
On with painting soon. Green & Brown topside with black undersides. Hopefully it will end up looking something like this:



I must apologies as I have not mentioned my music listening.
TODAY I WILL BE MOSTLY LISTENING TO SEASICK STEVE.

Just popping round to the shops to get some supplies.

[Ian]

Good progress and a nice scheme, OT.
Didn't know about Seasick Steve till he appeared on Top Gear (the fountain of all knowledge). He's quite good.
And I take it you don't mean modelling supplies!!!!

[splash]

I agree with Ian nice choice of colour scheme OT.

Like your snack there......we call them Whoppers over here. Good movie theater snack

Time to log off and go home from Work, I will be back to watch your progress.

Looking good so far. I wonder if the picture trouble has to do with portrait or landscape views. But this is a blitz, do not waste time of figuring that out now.

Must be a long way to the corner. He's been gone for ages.
Either that or he's bought so much food he's struggling to carry it all!
