Progress

A bit of progress on this kit I started a week ago...


Undercoated, base coloured, washed and highlighted on sprue; well a wee bit anyway :)


Pilot detail, still needs some work



First ever attempts at rigging, with mixed results but I've learnt a bit from this experience that I can apply with slightly more confidence when I eventually tackle my Handley-Page 0/400


I'm an 'assignment marking machine' at present but will hopefully get my life back towards the weekend, and finish this little item; as always, keep you posted :)

  1. Pretty jolly cool Al! Hadn't thought to paint, wash and highlight on sprue...

    I'm impressed that you've had the time to do this much. We've got our first production performances tomorrow, reports due way too soon after that, and then parent interviews. Oh but I wish I could pick up a paint brush!

  5. Thats reminded me I haven't rigged my 'Se' since making it on holiday the other summer....stretching sprue in the holiday cottage would have been frowned upon!....good luck rigging the 'big un'

  6. What make is the kit? I had the Revell SE5 some decades(!) ago - inspired by having seen 'Aces High'.
