    No bench time last week. Kids Spring Beak. Daddy duty all day long...every day. Lots of fun, knee took a beating! Hitting the bench tomorrow...all day. Whoo Hoo! My FW190 C, FW190A8 (Mistel FW190) and Slick Chick will get some love. Waiting on some more AM parts for the Ju88. Will start prep/clean resin parts.

    I recently dipped my canopies in future and there is some imperfections (dust). Is it possible to remove future for a "do-over"?

    Mr. Thinner or Mr. Leveling Thinner. I know some guys buy a solvent at automotive paint shops by the quart or half gallon at a fraction of what Mr. Thinner and Mr. Leveling Thinner costs. Hopefully some will chime in. When using 1200 or 1500 I will dilute 1:1.

    yes, ventilation is a must with Alclad. watching for more...

    I love Alclad. Important to have good surface prep. Your Humbrol Gloss Black base worked really good. I have had success with this base: Tamiya Black X-1: 1 Tamiya Clear X22: 1 Mr. Leveling Thinner: 2 Applied using thin multiple layers. I took my time and applied thin coats. This is almost a dozen passes until I was comfortable with coverage. I let mine cure for a week. First overall base of Alclad. Then various Alclad shades for the panels. Pre weathering. Flory Dark Dirt wash applied. Good luck with your Stang! Looking forward to see this.

    nice work on the pit with weathering, plumbing, etc. I concur, too bad you gotta close it up.
