I had Thursday off and for a change got a lot of modelling in. This included masking up and painting most of the Luftwaffe fuel truck.

Not so successful in this attempt was the Avrocar. In masking up I managed to pop the central fan into the closed up fuselage. After attempting to position and reglue this fan overnight I realised that this wouldn’t work and for the third time the fuselage halves were opened up.

Mind you today it decided to act up further and I lost one of the six flaps to the concrete floor monster whilst sanding so after some searching I’ve given up on this kit. It’s beaten me for the moment.

Despite not having much time for modelling over the weekend with lots of friends and family time I did at least start painting the six tyres. I’ve got a number of small parts to paint and put on the engine area but these need to wait till the fuel tank and tyres are on. They will need some weathering also.

And if you know you know. This was from the BBC TV series back in the 80’s.
