Nothing revs me up like a picture of a big lass's back door.

Does this add a little temptation?

Tell you what...I’d forgotten what a superb job Si’s making of that Wokka

Wouldn’t the aircrew have got MTP PCS by now?

Most of them will have retired by now.

Just add a couple of 1/35 wheelchairs in the back, that should cover it

The build is of a Wokka around the time of the Kajaki incident, so it was dessy DPM rather than MTP

Finally onto the under surfaces.

and the spray booth in action.....

The thing I like about this paint is it dries really quickly. I’ll still leave it overnight to cure as there is some minor touching up to do, but I can now make a start on the rockets

Have to say I’m really taken with the Korean Spad. The navy blue is really nice. Not a great deal to do to this one before I start weathering it, but I’m out of paint so that’s another week lost.

may have a crack at getting the engine in tomorrow.

the prop on the Trumpeter plane is shite. I did pick up a resin one but it’s not the best. This prop is brand new on the market from Baracuda. I’ll probabaly be picking up two sets of these as I need to sort the ‘Nam Spad prop also

that sprayed up very nicely, neat job so far.

 

[Simmerit]

So you won’t see much of this one at all,
but on with wiring it

well impressed with these though

 

[Simmerit]

That’s the engine wired and attached. Shame you won’t see much of it but hey ho. I know what’s there and that’s what counts......

Just waiting for the paint now....

 

[Cold_Collation]

Bit blue, innit?

undercarriage is white. Until I put the new one on!

missiles will be white though

New batch of MRP paints have turned up, so I should hopefully have this nail in two weeks, which is what I was aiming for

 

[Simmerit]

the only benefit of having trashed the other one is I have lots of spares....

this is it with navy undercarriage. Most of the ones you see in snaps have navy blue undercarriages. It’s rare you see a white one.

a bit like the adverts on tele......

 

[Simmerit]

I know it’s still work on progress but I do love this plane. Spads are ace.

Had a little go at some wear and tear on paintwork.

and the black is a coat of anti glare paint for the pilot.

 

[Simmerit]

At the ‘flapping’ stage....

just starting to pick out wear and tear....

 

[Simmerit]

Weekend spent finishing all the odds and sods to get the construction over the line

very little to do here now.

first wing done with anti slip.

And this one is interesting. Oil stains all black as opposed to the white you generally see
