Good day all, so - paintwork done on the props and spinners then they were put togther, then "The Big Reveal" the fuslelage camo/Black paintwork came out ok I think. So I dry fitted them all together - here are a few dry fit possing pics. OC.

Thats an Airforce. OC. -
After a day in the yard charging me Vit D cells I then de masked the fuselage - not too bad, demarcation line had a bit of a ridge so I attacked it with smooth wet and dry soon sorted, then I noticed a bit of camo that needed correcting - so back on went the masking using tape a bag and blu tac and a quick re spray over a tiny area, I then put it away to dry. I then turned my attention to the props and spinners - the spinners was a bit awkward getting a smooth sprayed finish as I kept getting some over spray, so plan number Two hand paint with Nato Black - so this was done, I put them aside and tipped the props yellow after masking.

This keeps me company after I have done some building - usualy put shandy in it. OC.

Here you go - I know you couldn't wait😉 It looks worse because of the poor kitchen lighting, the rear section under the tail is blu tac, and I assure you the finish is smoother than the phone makes out (and will be with some cloth polishing - prior to spraying a flat coat) OC.

Excellent work Mark, bet your so pleased getting the First planking done (hows your hands from the sanding - I remember getiing quite saw fingers with mine) I love the idea of you doing your own rear panel so many kit ones are lacking. OC.

Same as what Denis said welcome back. OC.

Just as Edward said your gun ports came out spot on, also I love the shaping of the hull and the smooth work on her, nothing wrong with that in any shape or form, really coming on my friend. OC.

Dont do my trick though😭 OC.

So, more work on her this eve, I put a few coats on the props - I decided to use Flat Nato Black as its actually like a dark flat Grey, I put a few coats on followed by a few watery coats to smooth out the finish, this was put aside then I put some blu tac inside the spinners attached a stick and went outside and sprayed then the same Black as the fuselage. They were then put inside the goody goody box to dry. OC.

Wonder what the answer is to stop the tape pulling the paint? it crossed my mind also. OC.
-
I had a peep "not telling you" lol, seriously needed a bit more spray on the one side - this was done then put back in the box, might leave it in there for a bout a year - everyone patient enough OC.

Thanks mate. OC.

Another kit I have my eyes on doing when funds allow and after I have sorted out a few important financial things that are waying heavy on my mind, is to do another kit that falls quite close to this one as they were both FAA service and both based at the same Naval base were my late father worked - the unique one of a kind F4U-1A/-D Corsair, My farther used to chat to me about "the bent wing bird" and how they were like nothing else he had worked on, and how they had initial teething troubles with them that needed quite a bit of sorting out before they could go onto the British carriers. This type - (Off the Net) Will keep you posted. OC.
