• Fairey Fulmar – Part Three – The Dirty Bird

  

  The Mister Craft Fairey Fulmar is proceeding apace. There were so few pieces to assemble that the basic structure went together in a day – and the decision to use solvent-based lacquers meant that the following day saw most of the painting taken care of.

• Fairey Fulmar Mk I – Part Two – Polish Precision

• Yakovlev-3 – Part One – Never Slow Down Past The Kit Aisle

  

  I was just going to Hobbytech for a pot of paint…I told myself…I noticed that my lacquer bright silver was running very low and I wanted to stock up. The paint aisle was easy – I found the Mr Color Bright Silver and grabbed it. They make a number of other forms of silver paint…
