Silver Wings Bristol Bulldog Mk.IIA 1:32

Wings joined to the cabane, painted and decaled. Ready for satin coat.

The prop and spinner come as one piece; they have to be masked and painted in three parts. The wood of the prop was painted starting with a dark brown base (I used Vallejo Dark Leather) then I mixed a beige oil based colour and brushed it in streaks across the brown. When this had dried thoroughly I sprayed Tamiya Clear Orange over it.

I cannot see that these props were built of obvious laminates in the reference I have.
Next the silver then the yellow were applied.

The navigation lights which are fixed on the upper wing are supplied as solid resin. I thought that there should be a bit of transparency for the lights. I sanded the leading edge flat, painted the flat surface with Humbrol 11 (bright silver) and then put a drop of epoxy on each of them. They will be painted the navigation light colours in due course.
