Title: Alleycat Bristol M1c
Post by: drdave on December 05, 2013, 06:56:13 AM
Here we go again. Nice kit, my first resin build. It's fought me tooth and nail between stuck fingers and the carpet monster.
I developed the worst allergic rhinitis  building this. I'm not sure if it was the CA or resin as it's not been a problem previously. You can't see any snot on it though.
Those in the know might realise C5017 was a SEAFIS trainer and should have a blue white hooped spinner. I gave up on that after 6 goes. Some you lose. Pretend it nosed over and had a replacement.
Spot the Pup  undercart too.... Guess what happened...

Beautiful work Dave, this is a very stunning scheme you used, the red and white stripes are very well done.
What happened to the undercarriage  ;) ;)

Beautifully glued together. Pleased as punch. Went to fit it and found I had the right V strut reversed. Would it shift? Would it hell! SNAP. Sweartastic 5 mins then off to the spares bin.

I used WNW roundels too as one of the kits ripped.

Nice recovery on the undercarriage Dave, the Pup undercart certainly looks the part, just hope it is strong enough to support the weighty resin model.

looks very nice - sorry it is fighting you so much! The silver looks good - what brand/color did you use for that?

Great model, Dave.  The undercarriage recovery is first-rate.  Your paint
work is flawless.  Wonderful little aeroplane.

Cheers,

Great Job ... looks to be a clean build, and I know how that belies the struggles behind the lovely photies.
Very Well done - I too am looking forward to he finished pic's.

Bravo'.

Silver can be a tough one and you pulled it off perfectly. Great looking scheme and Im watching for the final stages.
