Hi Andy, which Trawler did you buy?? Cheers Derek

 

[Sky Raider]

Derek, i brought the IMARA which is a Harbour Tug, sorry, cant tell the difference lol. Thanks guys, the end is nigh lol. You are correct Colin, it is so hard to resist the rush now to get finished. I will make sure sure i take the care and time to do it properly, after all it is for the Old Dutch, that alone should be enough incentive not to botch along until the end.

Cheers

Andy

Andy, the IMARA looks a really good comprehensive kit, look forward to the build, will keep you busy over the winter:wow:Cheers Derek

 

[Sky Raider]

You can say that again Derek. There are 2 boxes full of lots of metal bits, some have to be assembled before painting. however, i spent nearly 3k on the Happy Hunter so i guess she will be next on the bench.

Cheers

Well i have painted the top wings with the PC10 now, all that is left to do with these is turn them over and paint the straight edging, fit the ailerons and coat with 2 coats of fuel proof. Should have these finished in a few days and then on to the bottom wings.

Cheers Ole. Should look a whole lot better when the fuel proof goes on and it gets that Satin look.

I'm still loving this build Andy, attention to detail is amazing mate. I been thinking of getting a 1/72 or 1/48 scale SE5a just to build a replica of yours.

Have fun, John

Great idea John. I do have one in the workshop i used for fine detail. Still in the box unused as they say. See what prices you can get one for and then come back to me, ill do you a good deal.

Thanks Chris, im still enjoying this build, though i would like to be at the end of it very soon.

Cheers

Ailerons now fitted.

1st coat of Fuel proof added, this brings the color level down to one flat tone before applying the Clear coat. When done ill turn over and complete the underside of the wings

Cheers
