Thank you lou, but save your compliments till I have done the rattle can painting - that will be a success or fail operation. OC. -
Lou what happened - was it a case off the new cut out area for the door now being too large for the door to fit in after you have worked on the inside of the said door? could you possibly make a false edge with thin plastic card going around the edge of the door - this would hide any gap. OC.

Looking great denis, the shading/highlighting really makes a difference. OC.

Thanks denis. OC.

Hi all, some good work today - I put some interior green down then ran some washes over it, after I worked on the three sub frames - painted and washed, then when dry (quickly with a hairdryer) I then did some highlighting - lots more to do yet as it still needs the bomb rails and brackets. OC.

Old Collingwood replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
We have a preserved one over here RN version - https://www.fleetairarm.com/exhibit/grumman-avenger-ecm6b-xb446/2-4-13.aspx OC. -
Thanks mark, its interior green paint time next followed up with some more washes and a bit of hightlighting then some more additions to add, going to build things in stages like that - painting and weathering them as I go instead of assembling the whole sub sections and trying to paint/weather. OC.

I think it was put there for space reason (but agreed a very unusual arangement) OC.

A kit "Basher " defines anyone who is prepaired to do their best with a kit and try anything they come up with. I think its a great title. OC.

Done a bit more - I decided to fit some pipework - for this I used electrical fuse wire, I put a small smear of ca down then layed some wire, with a hairdryer to set It set in place - I then did the same to a run underneath. I then painted both fuel tanks the brick Red colour - for this I used Red Ocre, after drying this I added a few coats of dark wash - very watery then dried in between each layer, the main green shade still needs to be applied. OC.

So! - It begins, I couldn't help it "I had to", I got the box out - checked the instructions and found the first build section (Bomb bay), so I cut away the first sections needed then put them in a tub and with the aid of washing up liquid/hot water and a tooth brush, I gave the parts a clean to remove the release agent. Then when dry I assembled the main bomb bay floor containing the fuel tanks, and the two bulkheads, this was set aside to dry. Here are the first two pics showing the stage so far and the instructions stage. OC.

I was told by my farther they struggled to fit the beafed up engine in the same frame - they could have done with extending the frontal area. oc.

I can see you and mark doing that Huey ride and posting the vid on here - that would be so cool. OC.

Very nice work, bowsprit deck do you mean Forecastle deck - it meets the front of the ship near the bowsprit and can be flat from the mid ships or raised up. OC.

Very nice work on the shrouds and rats. OC.
