My Contribution to the Shelf Queen Group Build is the CSM Bristol Scout C. I lost interest/Heart on the build when I realized the roundels should have been French rather than British! ( I failed to READ the Marking Directions and Just Looked at the placement/painting Drawings) Thus it has languished on the Shelf of Doom for quite a while. I will either need to create a mask for the French roundels, I somehow lost mine, or if anyone has an unused set they would part with send a PM.
The original Build Log:

The kit is "Mostly" rigged just lacking the aileron, rudder, and elevator control wires. Thanks for the GB inspiration, Brad!

You reminded me of my boo boo when making my Scout - I sprayed the rings of the "ghost" roundels in the wrong colour order compared to the top wing. And I did that twice!

Thats one other small irritation on My build. I did a Very Subtle see through on the underside. One has to look closely but Blue is the outer color on the roundel. Not much I can do to change that now.

I have the Gavia (Eduards) kit of the Scout, I would leave the ghosted roundels and see how many people catch it.

Great to see this coming to completion RAGIII
Just a thought - Rather than re-do the roundels wouldn't it be easier to just repaint the rudder number for one of the later aircraft with RFC style roundels (I don't have my references to hand so that may be a non starter) :-\

Wonderful results on this build, Rick.

I intend to do just that! With the rigging in place it would be virtually impossible to change. I am certainly glad I left it Very Subtle!

Paul, I chose this one as I liked the union jack on the fuselage side and most others were using the Hawker Markings. I don't know if there were other Scouts with the Union Jack marking?

Nice Scout! That is really a lovely little Model.

Thanks Andreas. I hope whatever I end up doing looks acceptable ::)

After a bit of procrastination I went back to this one for the Group Build. Upon opening the box that I had stored the remaining parts in I realized the French Roundels were Not Missing! I went forward and began applying the roundels. All went well except for one that broke up, probably My Fault! I have contacted Edgar and have a path to replacing the final roundel needed! Thanks Edgar!! I also have finished the Wing Cellule rigging and added elevator and rudder control lines. Finally, a bit of Tamiya Smoke mixed with Tamiya Clear Yellow was stippled on to represent "Fresh" oil staining.

Very nice. I think it's kinda cool with the mixed roundels on the underside...
-
Hi Rag, Nice Job!
Could you please show a zoom of the fresh oil stanning ? I'am interested to see the result of the mix you did ...
-
Lovely job Rick, it's great to see this one nearing the finish line. Great work all round and the weathering looks very effective. Hopefully that roundel will be with you soon....

Thanks Bo. I guess if things had gone the usual worst way I could have left it like that 8)

I will see what I can do Xan. I was looking to see if one of My Nieuports had a better shot of the effect. Seeing your Nieuport makes Me think your Techniques need no improvement!

Thanks Nigel. I am working on the Roundel order this morning. I am just having a Senior Moment regarding whether I ask for the lower right or left wing roundel #4. Looking at the instruction sheet with a Magnifying glass I think it is the one marked "Left"

Nicely done, Rick!
-
Outstanding as always Rick. She is a beauty.
-
That looks very very nice, Rick. A wonderful Bristol!
-
Beautiful build. Great weathering and staining. And to think it almost didn't get completed due to the roundel issue. A stencil cutter comes in handy when I inevitably mishandle a marking :P.
-
Great effort on this one, Rick. Good to see it finished (almost) to such a quality.
-
Nice save Rick. Nearly there now.

Thanks Guys! I have made a small amount of progress while waiting on my CSM order and the replacement decal! I will post updated pics soon.

Thanks Alexis. It is getting closer to the finish line! Yesterday I added the Pe to the footsteps and cowling. Not much I can do until the last decal arrives from Latvia!

We all do it. I just painted the black and white underside of my early spitfire the wrong way around even though I was looking at the instructions when I masked it?.

Stunning model ;D

This one is finished beautifully RAGIII.
Alan.
Thanks. It needs some touch up which is difficult as I have No Idea what paint I used ::) I am just going to use some Valejo mixed as close as I can!

Really beautiful, Rick

Sorry to have missed this Rick. I am so pleased that you have been able to finish this - an early bird always appeals to me. The finish is extremely good and as others have commented, the mix of roundels on the underside adds real interest. A super finish.
Stephen.
