WNW Pup R.F.C.

[mike in calif]

Very nice looking Pup there! Very handy of the Brits to wrap the PC around the leading edges; such a simple solution for us modellers. What paints?

My deliveries from WNW to the UK have usually been around 2/3 weeks from ordering, with no issues apart from paying Parcelforce's release fee   I don't mind the VAT, but not the fee.

Keith, I priced up the option of getting a kit from Hannants and paying their mark up vs the WNW price plus fees, converted back into UK£, and it was only about £5 more to have the convenience of buying in the UK.

Have you any more in the stash?

Ian, I have bought a couple from Hannants and as you say it isn't that much more when you factor in the waiting time as well. I have 2 built, one on the bench and nine more in the stash.

Best Regards

Thanks Guys.

Mike paints basically Tamya primer, Humbrol matt 28 for the linen interior and the rest are mainly Citadel (Games Workshops) acrylics with the odd Lifecolor thrown in.

Paddy it's *coaming* I believe but I can't spell aerleron to save my life.

Hi Keith:

Engine and Prop are awesome!  The rest is nice as well, but my gosh, the prop looks like one of those hand carved jobs.

Hi and thanks all.

Back with a little progress.

Had a few mishaps with cyano not setting quickly while rigging.... different brand to normal. Worse though was putting the kit somewhere UN...safe to set while glueing the lower strut points.  Kitchen coffee makes might be flat and just the right size but.... Well after moving appliances to find lost parts I realised maybe not the best of places. So repairing snapped mountings with brass pins and refixing other parts I'm back on track.








So still dirtying in and detailing but the wings are fixed, rigging started and not many parts left to fit. 

Despite the niggly *self inflicted* issues I'm loving this build.


Comments always welcome, tips hints and corrections especially.

Looks great. Would the tires have more of the tone of the staining running along the bottom of the wing?

Your weathering is superb, Keith.  Glad you were able to fix her back up.  All in all, a brilliant Pup.
Cheers,

Oh she's going to get a lot dirtier before I call her done 

TY for the feedback guys.

What brand do you normally use? I've found my dime-store cheapo brand takes far too long to set up.

Oh, and the bird is looking beautiful. I think the engine looks great!

Lindsay.

thanks. I usually use loctite or decent quality, but for rigging usually gel type which I apply to the cable then slide the brass tube over.. it's slow drying anyway.  This time however I used Citadels (Games workshop) thin in a bottle, the quality is good, just rather random on setting off time. I think it depends how much you dab on.

Keith

[LindsayT]

Cool. I'll look for that, thanks.

She's lookin' really good! Sorry to hear about the mishap you encountered along the way, but you made a good save. I'm beginning to think that building these stringbags is an exercise in 'one step forward and two steps back'.

Cheers,

Chris
