Thanks Richard yes with all these stencils on 2 airframes it takes a while but worth it I think 🤔

I’ve just applied the decals on a 1/48 Airfix Chipmunk and they really are excellent

I have that kit as well Phil is it a decent kit to put together?

@@TheModelShed Yes it is Steve. The only issue is with the wing - the top and bottom sections need fettling to fit properly otherwise you can get a slight downward bend towards the tip. I've finished mine as a 1970's Gatow Station Flight Berlin aircraft, which was used for photographic spying by BRIXMIS operators. The most unlikely of Cold War spy planes!

Another great video. I notice you have not taken the stripes over the Flaps. The colour callout shows the stripes over the whole of the wing. I am just about to do this with mine - is there a reason you did not cover them?

@dlthomson5287 6 ай бұрын

I am enjoying this build very much. As always Cartograph decals look fantastic and in my opinion are the best to be found anywhere. I do have one question, do happen to know the reason for the underside wing numbers are one way and the starboard numbers "upside down"? I tried doing a search but found nothing.

@TheModelShed 6 ай бұрын

I suppose the numbers were reversed so that they could be read more easily whatever the orientation of the aircraft. The only explanation I can think of.

Steve, excellently work as always. Your videos are very well done and extremely informative. I have been following you through several builds now since your last video of the Bismarck, #38 I believe in which you said you were going to do a final video after the rigging was done and you had been to Telford. I have been looking forward to seeing this video. Did I somehow miss it or did you decide not to do it as I cannot find another episode after #38?

Thanks Greg I still haven’t done those bits and pieces. I will though - just there’s no rush just yet.

Looks brilliant the decals and stencil make it pop lovely. How do you find the lp-9 clear I tried it other day 50/50 with levelling thinner on a test piece and it went like a milky white on it

@TheModelShed 6 ай бұрын

I love Tamiya lacquer. Did you use Tamiya lacquer thinner or a different brand?

@chrisbrown-ed6du 6 ай бұрын

@@TheModelShed mr hobby levelling thinner is what I used

Sorry Steve I originally watched the video on my phone. Have just watched again on my laptop and realise the flaps are missing!
