Hi Guys, sorry to keep you waiting. Have been neglecting this to finish my Sea Hawk. Since its been completed I am rushing this now. In the last two days this is what's been done...
Starting with filling the gap at the wingroot...
The reason for doing this is because the wing will not be glued and am relying on the snap fit for easy battery replacement. To give as little a gap as possible I used chocolate thin foil wrapper as a mask so that the putty will not stick to the wing. I used two part putty as that can easily be smoothed over with water and it doesn't shrink and dries rock hard.
The wheel wells got a coat of white glue mask. I kept it level to avoid spillage. On the bottom of the picture you will see the antenna with the copper end which will act as the switch.
All masked and primed...
The customary pre-shading is applied...wheel hubs dark washed and cleaned.
This is where it's at for now hot from the oven just an hour ago waiting for the gloss coat to go on tomorrow morning. I'll be a day or two late. Once done I'll take a shot with the propeller spinning.
When you put your mind to it some things can be done quickly.
Cheers,
Richard
