Augie, DO NOT use a battery, it will ruin your work after years! The battery will be completely empty, and then the wet electrolyte will find a way out and will ruin your model!

maybe instead of a battery - milliput putty with nuts and bolts stuck in it might be better?

Yeah I did that with the old B(I) 8 I did, but not enough, so this time she will sit on her wheels and not on her arse.

So Rudder filled of the strange lines.. and then test paint of unused parts and the chosen orange. Turns out I had the right orange for this, shame the pots older than I am but then that is a bonus as its coverage is just sublime.

Hi Roland, thats just masking tape 🙂 Protecting the fuselage if I have to touch up anything on the top of the wings.
She's now on her wheels and weight wise was perfect, she sat on her wheels properly 🙂

You are THE master of the hairy thing Augie. I can't achieve such a shiny yellow surface with the airbrush. It's unbelievable! Carry on!

Always jaw dropping to see Augie's brush work. This is turning into my favorite Canberra paint scheme.

Way to go Augie! Such a large beast! Those upper wing crosses are huge! I thought the Germans used an al orange Canberra, but I am sure that your scheme is also correct. Sort of gives it a split personality! Kind regards, Dutch

Hi Dutch 🙂 thanks m8. Your right, they were orange all over. However 99 + 34 had an accident and caught fire damaging the wings beyond repair. So they bought a pair from the RAF and replaced them.. and didnt repaint lol

So as Tyu pointed out to me in PM, I have two too many crosses on the wings... Not sure I can get the crosses up, and to be honest, I kinda like having the 4 on.. thoughts?

I vote to leave them! They are large to paint over the former 48" RAF roundels. That's my story.

Hi Roland, according to the guide, it has two top, two bottom as it would when all over orange.
Dutch, I like your thinking to be honest 🙂
Ben, indeed I have read same, but these decals are really thin
Thanks guys, I'm happy with it with them and as others like em.. they can stay 😄

Lol yes very small. Yes I saw that and it is exactly what I was looking for. However have just ordered the only one I could find from Portugal and for less, including postage, than the member was asking,so thats worked well. Get my Wessie 5 finished and that should arrive just right. So when were you at Wyton Augie?
