In the paintshop

Looks fantastic!

Well done to all concerned!! 🙂

Thanks Fluffy for a fantastic Thread. It’s kept me wanting more throughout the winter months and now the season is nearly upon us. So heres wishing all of you at BBMF a happy 50th year and a very memorable season.

P.S. Does AB910 sound different with her new cans and what has the Boss got to say about her?

Shot by chase plane or from the ground?

From the ground

Fluffy, she’s a beaut, top marks to Mr Denney and whoever decided on the scheme.

Happy memories of building the old Airfix(?) 1:72 as a boy. Might have to abuse the company ID card, come up and wander in!

Has GR settled in OK? A mate from the Bat bombers.

Very nice….but should have ordered up some nice blue sky with puffy white clouds!:D

Good to see her flying

Successful airtest today and here is a link to some flying pictures by my old mate usernamechanged 😀 http://forum.planetalk.net/viewtopic.php?t=3715

Hot damn, that looks good! 😀

Sure does! 🙂

Nice now the spinner is fitted & siamese exhausts.

Can’t wait to see her in the air.

Now all she needs is a 3 bladed Rotol prop to add to the authenticity! 😀

Cheers

Paul

I’m liking all this matt paintworkthat’s going on at Coningsby at the mo! When it wears a little, this will look better than it does now!

C6

Hot damn, that looks good! 😀

Finished at last and will be air tested on Monday pictures taken by Neil Clegg:diablo:

Wow Fluffy.

That looks really awsome.I’ll look forward to seeing her out and about and then at the Lincs Lanc bash.

Miggers:cool:

WRONG!

In fact its….from the Meaning of Liff

Frating Green
(adjective)
The shade of green which is supposed to make you feel comfortable in hospitals, industrious in schools and uneasy in police stations.

TT

But only succeeds in making you feel sea sick even on dry land

Shared kills? Probables? :confused:

What are the significance of the black and red crosses, as opposed to the black and white ones, in the kill markings?

Also, is that an egg that Donald Duck is sitting on? 😮

The “78th FG Ranchero” paint job continues to take shape.:rolleyes:
The hood is Olive Drab & the underside of it is Olive Green. That blue isn’t some strange SBD or PR blue, it’s PPG DP60LF epoxy primer, reduced & used as sealer. Door & tailgate jambs will be olive green in a couple of weeks.

The invasion stripes will each be 6in wide. That fits in prefectly with the 30in wide rear wheel arches. The rest of it will be silver with the NG/NG script on the left door.

The plan is to have the majority of the paintwork done in time for Chino in May.:cool:
I have another GT hood that will have the black/white checker pattern on the front half with the OD from the front of the scoop back… both scoops are already semi-gloss black.

I’m still toying with the idea of dummy .50cals faired into the side of each fender between the top edge & the body line…… I have a spare set of “scrap” fenders to play with:eek: :diablo: 😀

As you can see, this is the “bubble top” version, however, I could transform it into a razor-back with the addidtion of a camper shell.. 😉

Looking great – the fishtail exhausts are nice, too.

Heres the finished artwork Clive and Linda completed the job at 8.30 last night and it looks fantastic Sorry if piccies look out of focus battery gave up after these two.

Has the good Mr. Denney been to Coningsby with his paint brush today!:D 🙂

Looking at Fluffy’s pics makes me want to build a model of Zumbach’s plane again – haven’t built the little Airfix Spit VB kit for ages!!

Yes

Thanks Fluffy,

top guy, met him at Duxford…certainly a man of many talents:)
