Who knowns what's in there, or indeed not in there? Note the bag professionally sealed with bits of pre-used masking tape. That's comforting.

Though personally,I have no knowledge or experience of this alleged "frugality" The one I deal with(Scotsman that is)is a jolly nice bloke and generous to a fault 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Che Guava 4,339 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Bit slow going due to the wrong kind of sunshine. Trying simultaneously concurrent at-the-same-time builds. I'm glad the plastics are two different colours, that at least limits some of the confusion. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like them racy red seat belts in the Scout,bet they added a couple of kt's on the top speed, naturally,the Navy has gone for cooler looking black in that swoopy looking Gazelle........ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which bring me to a question......what's the best way of doing a tinted canopy? I was going to a mix of blue and clear varnish on a scrap canopy (the inside?). By the way - on those Scouts the overhead front panels look a blue lighter tint than the near-black back ones - am I correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Che Guava 4,339 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Just looked at some other Scouts tintings - I think I'm wrong, they seem to be the same shade. Maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Send The Laird out on his bicycle to get you this: (with a note that says"A bottle of blue food colouring,please give to this lad along with the change,thank you") https://groceries.asda.com/product/cake-decorations/asda-blue-natural-food-colouring/80624306 Paint it on thinly and build it up. Food colouring is great for tinting upper panels. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
