Yesterday saw a short paint session amidst the snow flurries that are pestering Western
Washington state at present. It really is getting rather late for such events.
I’m no big fan of High Summer, since I don’t much care for extreme heat, but I
think I’m done with snow drama for this winter.
Mostly
smaller items, such as Alclad coats of White Aluminum on landing gear and
Stainless Steel on the exhaust surround for the latest Eurofighter. I also did
the exterior X147 Grey on the exterior of the Eurofighter’s landing gear doors,
which I had forgotten to do last time. It’s getting close for the complex decal
job required on another Italian AF special scheme.
Next
came an upper surface coat of X110 Forest Green on the HobbyBoss Mc-200. It all
looked pretty smooth after curing, so I will be moving on to the two-color
mottling shortly.
Finally,
the Tilly truck from the Airfix RAF refueling set got a coat of X816 Khaki
Drab. I forgot to do the wheel hubs for this one, so it will require a second
loading of this color (not one that I use very often). As it happens, the coat
on the vehicle itself didn’t cover extremely well, so I will take the opportunity
to strengthen up the coverage on that too while painting the hubs.
Nothing
dramatic – always an advantage for a paint session – but a number of projects
were advanced.
