Pictures of cake (blueberry lemon) later!

Early morning modelling session before the hordes woke up. The Hurricane had filler applied.

Cheers

No rubies, however.

Primer on the underside.

And yesterday's blueberry lemon cake.

Only one slice left now!

AndrewR · Post by **AndrewR** » March 9th, 2014, 11:22 pm

Upper surface primed.

Port side okay, starboard side needs seams disguising!

Cheers

The intakes are in position now. I need to resand the starboard wing root. Then more primer.

I've never made another member into a cake before :silly:

The undersides of the Hurricane get a coat of primer.

I'm going to be using stencils for the O-K1. So the letters will be white.

Hence the white on the rear fuselage.

Neat, making the stencils yourself Andrew?

No, there's a chap in Canada who used to make them, and most of his stock is now at my LHS!

http://www.ezmasks.com/index.html;

The website hasn't been updated since 2006, and some pages are now missing, but he did generic sets for RAF WW2 lettering in various sizes. They still have them listed at the LHS, if anyone is interested.

Using those masks, the codes are added.

The roundel is just blue tacked on, to adjust the spacing before painting.

So VA Duck-egg Green is then sprayed underneath.

Very cool, they look crisp, looking forward tot he result.

Cheers

This looks good, like the idea of the stencils. They are something that should be more widely available and manufactured in larger quantities for world-wide LMS sale.
