Final paint and weathering.


Added salt mixture to simulate chips and scratches. Final paint coat is applied over the top of salt mixture leaving the metallic silver below. 


Salt mixture is removed to reveal silver below.

Sprayed with scratch filler primer in the home made spray booth.




Filled the low spots and remaining wood grain.


Next step is to do a final sand and start doing the finish coats of paint.

Decided to enter the Typhoon into the WRAM static competition. Therefor I have started work on a scale static prop.

The prop turns the opposite way due to the Napier Sabre engine.

I have cut out the wood and just have a lot of carving ahead!



Below shows the difference between the working prop for the O.S. FS-120 engine versus the scale prop.
