Ratch Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I got that when I tried to upload more than one picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks Ratch, least I know it's not my device. So what do I do, upload 1 image at a time and you over worked moderators can combine them onto 1 post 🤔? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Almost caught up! Looking good! If I may ask, what might be that dark rectangle on the starboard wing root? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2B Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Ask away.I assume you mean the stand slot I've cut in the lower wing and I've added a close up image.Airfix have the flashed over 2 holes for their stand in the 1 piece closed bomb bay doors, but as I will be removing that after painting I needed a stand slot, and I have plenty of the original Airfix transparent items for said use!

Dominic Thomas Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I’m following this build with great interest. It’s always good to watch how things should be done.. ;-)Anyway, for what it’s worth, I managed to load three pix simultaneously-ish in my addition to the 2021 Pandemic thread in the General heading. These were of the Special Hobby Beaufort which I thought could provide a comparison for all the Airfix builds I was hoping to see.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks for your interest Dominic. I think the on going teething problems with the new website and forum are putting off a lot of users as there seems to be reduced activity and fewer new threads?

AirportsEd Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nice work, T2B. I presume that you cut the cockpit mask from a roll of masking tape, rather than using an after market mask (if such a thing is available, yet)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks Ed but it's an Eduard Mask set that was available just before the kit was. But everywhere is Sold Out now so must be popular.Only time for a coat of BS Dark Earth today and the 1 image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everywhere is Sold Out now so must be popular.Only time for a coat of BS Dark Earth today and the 1 image! Hannants finally got some Beauforts in and I've ordered mine, along with a set of Kits World decals. But, of course, they are all out of the Eduard mask sets!Hopefully, by the time I get to that stage, I'll be able to find a set. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorman Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Guys, could I ask that when you submit your posts you press the button once and wait. It takes a good 5 to 10 seconds for the system to react. We are ending up with a number of repeated posts probably because people are pressing the button more than once thinking the system hasn't accepted their post. This means we mods have to decide which of the repeated posts to approve or refuse and we always worry we might be refusing someone's post in error. Thanks.

T2B Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Yes the mask set seems to be sold out at all suppliers as I was after another set. But when you get your kit Chris, you should enjoy it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Well, apparently, I'm not allowed to mention that I have acquired a Beaufort from another, well-know UK-based supplier. I have received this email:Dear Chris,Your recent post Reply to 1:72nd Scale Bristol Beaufort Mk.I in the Hornby Forum contained content which has been rejected by one of our moderators.Because of this, your post cannot be made public.Thank you,Hornby HobbiesJust so everyone knows, I have also received another email from " That " supplier, letting me know that the kit has been sent, and at a lesser price than Hornby's.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Chris, Hornby/Airfix always sell at full RRP (except for Black Friday sales) because if they undercut their retail outlets they wouldn't have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Chris that's a generic email and probably sent because a number of duplicate posts were deleted, not cos you mentioned another retailer. It had me wondering last week too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Airframe masked over the BS Dark Earth and the BS Dark Green applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2B Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Masking removed and a little paint scrapping to reveal the aluminium skin. More touching up the Klear and decaling should be next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirportsEd Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Looks good, T2B. What did you use to form the edges of the camo mask? It looks something like Blu Tack to me, but when I used that on my Hurricane recently, it left a kind of greasy line everywhere it had been, which obviously meant that it had to be repainted.

T2B Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Thanks Ed, and they are indeed 'tac sausages'. When I started to use the airbrush and found a sudden need for masking I was advised to use White Tac as it doesn't leave a greasey residue that is present with Blue Tac. So far it seems to behave as expected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
