Old Collingwood Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share #93 Posted September 24, 2020 I got a bit more done today - I started by painting the different fittings in Black, then I touched up the canopy farme edges and did a bit more detailing, then I decided to fit the tiny transparency parts - the top/bottom nav lights and the Two wing lights - here is where I encountered my first problem - "Boy are they fiddly to handle and position the right way round" hence I dropped the first one down onto the carpet joungle - took me a good Ten minutes to find it on my poorly knee, this was quickly glued in with a kind of - "You are going in even if your the wrong way round" then I turned to do the other side - same procedure but this time the tiny little thing snapped in Two, so I just glued the one half piece in and worked on filling the remaining cavity with Vallejo Putty, gently bit by bit assisted with heating and gentle sanding - then more filling/sanding "You see where this is going" there was a slight edge around the nav light covers with rivets - well not anymore as I had no way of controling the sanding over a small area. Anyway they are both smooth and uniform on both wingtips awaiting a quick blast of primer and top coat just over the extreme wing tips. When dry I will mask and paint to Two nav covers in Red and Green - best I can do. I will post some more pics after I have rescued this stage.....................Stay tuned.

Old Collingwood Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share #94 Posted September 25, 2020 Evening all - right straight in where I left off those wing nav lights - firstly I took it outside and sprayed a couple of coats - primer then top coat, it turned out ok smooth without showing the nav lens details, then I brought it inside let it dry for a couple of hours, then after deciding it was dry enough - I maked up both wings to form the nav lens's, then a few coats of Green and red then the masks were removed. Seems ok I think. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share #98 Posted September 26, 2020 A bit more history on XZ-439 She was one of only Four SHAR's that did not take part in the Falklands, Four jets were kept back at RNAS Yeovilton on training purposes - I understand she was painted in the low viz scheme with markings in case they changed thier mind and sent them, she was the second SHAR built and was latter converted into a F/A2 version and was even sold at a later year to be flown on the airshow scene in the US. I am building her as I saw her at Farnborough Airshow 82 along with 190gal tanks and on the outer pylons Sidewinder acquisition round used for training purposes. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share #102 Posted September 27, 2020 Bit of a late progress report - I only managed and Hour on her to night just enough time to put some flat White in the outrigger wheel wells and start work converting the Aim 9 Lima Sidewinders in to traing rounds - this basically consisted off cutting the fins off and sanding a smooth round shape. No pics as I foregot to get the phone out - but I think you get the picture - or not or possibly do if you can imagine it😵 OC.

Canute Posted September 27, 2020 Share #105 Posted September 27, 2020 It's essentially a gray tube behind the seeker head section with clips to slide it onto a launch rail.

Old Collingwood Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share #118 Posted September 29, 2020 Evening all, decals are on, just need to wait a few days for them to fully settle down - then I will dirty the back end abit with pencil gently rubbed over, then I will brush paint my Vallejo Matt Acrylic Varnish, it shouldn't look bad as the lighter paint finish was applied by brush out in the Atlantic on HMS Hermes by the crew. This will (hopefully) seal in the decals and blend them in so I can handle it for the other bits and pieces.
