Thanks Ken, because I am worried (more than I will admit) I have been reassuring the admiral that all will be ok and we will get through some how almost like magic, and it will all return to normal, but I went very down missing a family member to reassure me.

Old Collingwood Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share #377 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Evening all, I decided to drag this out the box and pick up where I had finshed at, the one main wing section and both stabs needed a blast from the surface primer by rattle can........"Oh dear" so I went into the back yard shut the back door and sprayed away - "Splurt splurt - splatter splatter" the rattle can was empty but had enough to leave a bad finish. So I let it dry collecting some flies along the way then put the parts back in the box and basically threw the box back in to cupboard. It seriously struck me that I have a few kits on the go building them up enjoying the small sections that can be painted by hand, but when it comes to painting the larger areas - camo etc. I am really struggling using rattle cans outside in the elements bugs flies and things - no way of spraying them indoors, really anoying.

I looked into that but think it would be a noise issue with the admiral, it would have to be silent or I would start getting those "daggers looks" while she was watching her fave programs - and a money issue to be honest, our room is not very large about 14 feet so I have to work silently at the one end. As I say it aint the best situation, building the pearl or my greyhound boat builds was no a problem in the least, as I was had brushing everything that needed it, but I know to build and paint accurate model kits is another beast all together, if they aint sprayed you loose all the fine detail and battle to get a smooth finish.

Old Collingwood Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share #382 Posted April 23, 2020 I will survey the "splot splot" paint job later today it can probably be rubbed down abit as I have some well used 1000 wet and dry thats nearly dead smooth now from frequent use, that should take some of the splats off (its my own fault I didn't check if the can was ok for paint). What I will be able to do is hand paint the rudder as its a small area and just black, same as under the stabs - I will then mask off the top of the wing ready for when I build up the courage to spray the two camo colours from my rattle cans (I think I have two cans of each colour). The top section of the fuselage will need a quick blast where the canopy sits as it was left rough when I took the canopy off, this means masking the area and inside the cockpit with paper. I think I was rushing and not thinking the best due to this mouth infection and pain killers I am on - kind of been making me drowsy. OC.

OC. You have a cupboard? capable of storing models? here across the pond we call that a closet...... have you given consideration into turning it into a mini modeling center? back when I was living in smaller digs I had one.... when the door was open for a modeling session I had a foldable table that fit within the opening to use as a build center and all spraying was done in the confines of the closet. I hung newsprint on the walls to prevent overspray damage, and when I had to leave something to dry/cure I could close the door on it so the admiralty here would not get annoyed..... (if there is no door you could hang a curtain across the opening, consult the admiral as to style and such would be a good way to get her approval/cooperation) Best of both worlds I would say.... popeye the sailor, Jack12477, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Collingwood Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share #387 Posted April 24, 2020 After a good sleep I attacked the Mossie again I was able to gently rub off the splats on the wing (the stabs were ok) I then went in the back yard with my Dark grey rattle can (this was still ok - had not run out) so I sprayed the stabs - went ok, then I did the same in two coats on the main wing, again this looked ok - I put them away in the box to harden. I then came in doors and firstly decided to glue down the canopy (no fuss just used liquid poly) I also decided to have a look at how the main u/c fits inside the wing box - I decided to trim off the edges then It slotted straight in, so I glued the front main u/c section in with ca glue, followed by the rear support legs - these needed moving about then securing again using ca. I decided to do a dry fit with the wing temp placed to check for hight fit - looks ok I think?
