Thats a great looking wee plane HARV.

Great looking build. What scale is it? Looks like a 1/72 or 1/96? to me. I do like your base, simple but it really makes your model "take off".

@Randy good job it looks good on that base.

Looks good Harv

I have applied five coats of Halfords white primer to the bright yellow wings of my Matchbox DH 82 float plane and the coloured plastic is still showing through. I think they must have used uranium oxide or something in the plastic. I swear it glows in the dark when the lights are off.

Well Tim, it's a special alloy devised by alchemists in the 13th Century and rediscovered by Matchbox in 1963. Originally intended to make armor impregnable to “dragon's breath”, it was found to refract light even through the densest materials. The Ministry of Defense attempted to use it as a “stealth” coating on aircraft and other equipment. But found, once applied, the coating had a tendency to cause complete blindness even when viewed from considerable distances.

So, as for covering it up…go with God my son.

I think you are correct grenadier. I have applied five coats of Halfords white primer to the bright yellow wings of my Matchbox DH 82 float plane and the coloured plastic is still showing through.

Looking nice! Is that aluminium from the model color or model air range?

How does it stay put without a sealer coat?
I bought a couple of model air metallics a few years ago, and for some reason they weren't waterproof when dry. An airbrushed coat of Future sealed them however, so I didn't have any real problems with them. I was just thinking that they have been defective or something.
