I started on this because no stuff came in for me today from the post man and plus been watching videos on YT of the Tempest.I watched the last night the dedication of one being restored in the UK with a sabre engine that has never been fired up yet new in the crate 80years now!!So I mentioned on another thread that slips me at the moment should/when I start this build the WW's would be the first place I venture to.I have seen builds stall when they get here even a YT vid.Well....I decided the instructions suck in this area and since they give you a Nice relief in the lower wing I started with the front piece and worked clockwise and it went together like a champ.The upper wings have already been checked for fit and it slips in like a dream.I will finish the wing and move onto the fuselage in the next couple of weeks.

The finish line is not that far off no mail today so no yellow The canopy was a bit of a PIA probably more me than the manufacture I go outside the box/instructions and gets me in trouble but I resolved that issue.I have been touching up the nose decal with black tonight hence the yellow.I like it when you decorate the props just that little more touch.One pic of the port side of the fuse shows a decal that moved but also those ribs numbers not 9 like the 109 but 18.I tried making a RLM04 with what you gave Andy hence since I do not have the all the colors got to daRK.

Looks good Dan I have this kit coming tomorrow.

Lots of stencils and waiting on paint and thanks for the likes guys.

I have thought about either this kit or the ICM will be looking in Andy.

Nice work on the build feel like I am watching Mark Novak on Ytube he rebuilds parts for rifles at times actually simpler than what you are exhibiting at times.

I built one of these eons ago Craig and think it still resides in the cabinet.Yellow Wings are Nice and Colorful! -
Oh the joys of masking!!

Just a pic of some progress the nose decals need some touch-ups kinda a PIA they were.I used the decal for the ban on the fuse an order from SB coming this week swastikas for the tail and a Eduard Tempest courtesy of Dan's build and insignia yellow.

bookmarked and ordering some.
-
No one will ever notice but that Nose decal is a beotch.I had to order some more paint Insignia Yellow I still cannot track down any RLM04!?!
-
Maybe some one can relate/explain but I just about fooked this one up.I was spraying Light Sheen lacquer on the plane to get ready for decals did not like the texture so buffed with 800grit scotch bright got a weathered look but not what I was going after.I decided to wipe with alcohol and it stripped to the plastic in a couple of areas I was like WTH?It has to be because it was 91% alcohol?I repainted all's good and laid down my usual Future I think I well relegate that stuff to the final fluid through the airbrush on a cleaning!!

And Chris I think to me a certain skillset is learned to pull off what you accomplish in Card!

EG I work it with an extra fine tip thin paint and 25psi the AB never stops moving mainly circle 8 pattern much of the time I kinda like the fade look some what.I know a fella on another forum Down Under who paints Tamy Acrylics high pressure 30+psi and many little dots looks really sweet but takes hours of work this me took 2/3hours.This is some of his work he likes 1/48 he does 1/32 just as Nice but how many more hours of labor?

Getting close to the finish line fellas.The paints are all MrHobby lacquers and slowly learning the curve here if paint builds up on your forks of the airbrush it's to thick.I am thinking that these paints thin out like 60/70 thinner? I hope she comes through with some approval from you guys I'm thinking when all said and done she will be a smart looking crate. I think the yellow is a bit bright but no RLM04 was to be had this is Tamiya's yellow and not RLM04.

Hey Mark atleast you were getting on Track and thanks for the explanation EG
-
Paint leveled off Nicely!!
-
Mark went and dug out the old Squadron book for that and paint application nothing about the wheels I saw just a special jack for changing tires.The other reason was the camo were presenting the wavy lines to the underwing but videos I watched did not represent that.I found two pics in the book about the Waspen Gruppe straight across the leading wing edge .

Looking good Rob will always looks better to after the paint levels off also.
