Eggplane YF-19 - WIP 6

An alternative approach
 
Had a long weekend recently so I decided to spend some time on the eggplane which was last worked on in February
 
Neural Gray was used to cover up the missing decal on the canopy.

There was a bit of problem while decaling the wings at the fast pack. When placing the decal, I found out that there is too little excess decals to properly wrap around the wings. If you try to move it around to fit, the decal will eventually tear (especially those on the smaller wings). After a few times trying, I gave up decaling and took out the black and red paints instead.


Fast packs waiting to be painted. There is only one decaled wing. Tried to remove the decal but it was impossible

Painted the red....
 
....followed by the black.
 
Decaled the necessary parts on the other side of the fast pack
 
Pieces to decal after the fast pack:
 
Pilot: Black decal and two arrows on the helmet
Gun: A small yellow decal on either side
Fold Booster: Black rings around the booster and a yellow decal on either side
 
An important note: The black decal rings around the Fold Booster requires patience because the part is recessed. The decal will not stick so easily and will move if you are not careful. An alternative approach will be to paint the parts black and save yourself the headache.
 
Pieces after panel lined and a layer of Future to seal the decals

Panel lined and added a layer of Future to the main body of the plane.

All the pieces waiting for the Future to dry and start the assembly process.
 
Up to this point. all the work are done for the Eggplane YF-19. What is left is to assembly the kit which will be done at a later stage.
