  Hi Barry, I am hoping to get this kit next month, when my son comes to visit me from New Zealand, as I now reside in Melbourne Australia, I will be watching this build very closely, I have the KT ambulance to build, and a sack of spuds is almost the same as a sack of coal, I have just subscribed to your channel, as I thought I was already subscribed, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

  I'm wondering if the wings have distorted after coming out of the mould. The outer surface is slightly larger than the inner surface and therefore shrinks more, which tends to flatten the profile of the wing?

  Got mine today plus the decal sheet to create the version that carries my late father’s name through donation.

  I used a Humbrol orange rattle can on the Severn and it worked perfectly. It was years ago but likely over a Halford's grey primer. I have an old Citadel orange which I recall was also good but was just too light for the RNLI shade. The Severn was worth persevering with as in the end it looks amazing. I think the superstructure was designed to lift off to show that detailed interior, but it was too tight a fit so I ended up sanding down the inside. But I agree, it depends how much you want to build it.

  Perhaps an idea for painting the orange onto the kit.... How about having a white or yellow undercoat first, which should hopefully make the orange go on easier and make it pop more and perhaps less coats?

  Hi Simon. I used a white primer for the orange but I got the same as I always get with humbrol, it's just too watery. My airbrush doesn't have an adjustment for air pressure, so I can't not thin the paint. Not tried a yellow primer though, any recommendations? Cheers

  @@nostalgicplastic4323 sorry mate, although I purchase the mini airbrush you recommended ages ago...Ive still not used it as Im still waiting to alter my spare room, so I still only use hairy sticks Im afraid. Ive used a rattle can of humbrol matt white for a Gulf War Tornado, but that needed 3 coats of desert pink before the white streaks and brush marks finally went. Begining to wonder if I should have used grey primer for that instead. Ive got another one to build so might try grey primer instead. However, using grey primer might make the orange on the lifeboat too dark.

  Just got mine today. Wanted to get from my local (ish to Middlesbrough) Shannon station at whitby, but they aren't selling it. Ended up visiting the model centre on the way home as they had stock for £17.99. I had hoped to have a good shop there for other kits as well, based on their website stock, but it turns out it's a small shop filled mainly with trains on display. Wasn't sure if I got extra paints or not as I had 10 pots. Now seeing your unboxing I see I have the same amount, but I have no 11 which isn't listed as being needed. Just wanted to check what paints others got. Mine were 11 15 18x2 27x2 33x2 34 56

• 
  @nostalgicplastic432317 күн бұрын

  11 is silver, so probably aerials or such like. Might be a printing error. Most folk don't use the little pots and I've only used tiny dabs of them in the past, so you might want to get some better ones. But hey, up to you, they're probably OK, I'm just going by others opinions.

  The blue/grey colours are because this is a 1954 107 pick up, the first year they made a long wheelbase model, the previous were 80” and later 82”. The factory colours were grey body and RAF blue chassis and wheels or all RAF blue. Body cappings are as you say, zinc plated. 1959 they went to a black chassis as per all the SWB models for the last eight years or so, and bronze green was added as a body colour. Seats were available in black, grey or RAF blue options.

  Masking suggestion: Put a strip of masking tape on the inside of the sides to block the windows before sticking the two sides together. Make it long enough to stick out the back door and it should be simple to remove after the outside painting is done.

If you're thinking of after market PE it will put the cost of the kit up another £30 you factor all your paints in the kit starts to look pricey. That said it will look just as good without the PE Airfix did such a good Job. Because the silver wing variant is a big slab of silver spend your money on different shades of silver and some nice rigging. What a kit What kit well-done Airfix .
