Hello JessieC: It is coming along nicely. Nice of Williams Bros. to respond quickly. The gloss white looks nice and contrasts nicley with the silver grey.

Looking forward to more.

Looks good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi Jessie, very nice looking progress, that paint job is going to make one nice model once finished!

Getting going on the decals.

You gotta tell me how to get a nice white gloss finish. One of the reasons I gave up on 1/144 scale model airliners!

I don't do anything special. I use Testors spray bombs for my white. 1 undercoat of flat followed by an overcoat of gloss. Warm the can in hot water first so it sprays more evenly.

I think that as with everything there's a skill level involved. There's a really fine line between 'not enough' and 'too much' when it comes to gloss white. I've lost count of the times I've had to sand down runs and drips in order to repaint. I apply the white first, then mask for the remainder of the airframe.

Jessie,
Looking good, very good. You've got a winner here; the paint is excellent and the decals will really enhance that effect.
Final photos much anticipated.
Cheers,
Lance

Okay, that's all of the decals. Now to let everything dry, and then get going on the touching up.

Hello JessieC

Sharp looking model with the art deco style decals. Good Job!!

Go Jessica go! Model On!

Now that's pretty, the decals really highlight a great paint/finish job.

All that work you put in certainly is paying off, looking very nice indeed.

Keith

Your efferts have paid off Jessica !

Jessica,
Great decaling my friend. Excellent work throughout.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I'm calling this one done.







I'm not too happy with the way the decals covered on the nose wraparound. They're just transparent enough to show the grey underneath. I should have maksed the white a little lower. The decals are extremely fragile, and I notice that the "C" on Chevron has partially disintegrated on the right-hand side
On the bright side, I'm happy with my scratchbuilt antennae and the way the navigation lights turned out (even though I discovered I did the wrong type; JRQ was fitted with lights on the wingtip, not top and bottom).

Onto the shelf it goes

As usual Jessica another fine build!

She is a beauty, full of nostalgia – Congratulations on finishing!

Mikael

She's a Beut!

Jessica,
Very nice finish, and definitely one of a kind. You've done wonders with a pretty rough kit, Congrats!
Cheers,
Lance
