RWG686 31,454 Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 Distinct lack of mojo for this but I did a bit more destruction earlier. A window fell out so I tapped them all to see how they had stuck. 50% failure rate. Klear later then. I've covered the windows with copydex and will spray primer white tomorrow. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dixieflyer 4,134 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I just saw where Iliad Design had released a new decal sheet for this a/c. Pretty colorful stuff. This will be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWG686 31,454 Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM As a well known UK advert said some years back...the future's bright, the future's.... The join at the window looks terrible. I'll see how it looks after the tape comes off then ignore it as with this one, I'm past caring. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RWG686 31,454 Posted Thursday at 10:03 PM Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:03 PM I have many models in the corner of doom but in over 60 years of plastic bashing I have only once binned a model. A Whirlwind helicopter I was attempting to convert into an HAS 7 with the drooped boom and torpedo bay. Even then it went into the spares box. This Twotter is dein' ma heid in! I thought I had carefully masked it but there are quite a few runs needing a good seeing to. Add the fact that some of the black has dried cracked and when removing the tape the nose undecarriage leg, 5 of the flap actuators and the 2 steps came with it, made this come close to the second bin job. I put it aside until tomorrow instead. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gorby 16,296 Posted Friday at 07:47 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:47 AM You're nearly there matiepoos. Although if it's 'dein' ya heid in'*, life's to short to waste time doing something you're not enjoying. * That just sounds silly in an English accent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Noser 3,243 Posted Friday at 04:32 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:32 PM argh! that's a shame. Its a very striking aircraft and would stand out on the shelf, but I know that just sometimes to urge to flight test is way too powerful! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
