Peterpools Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Phil Which seam and what’s your filler of choice. Could be a change of filler might do the trick. Keep ‘em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Peter, I use Vallejo it’s good for infill joints but flat seams can be a fight, I nailed it and primed plus my first attempt at pre shading, Vallejo German grey very thin……..hmmmm looking at it now, what a bleeding mess….🤪🤞 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The pre shading should be sufficient Phil, I found, that it does not count for that much, how thin or equally done the pre shading is (with the exception of WWI wing strut / canvas simulation shading, which should be fine and equal). If you really want to improve it, you can do it multi tone, selecting different colors, like brown and blue, depending the surface color. this way, you can accentuate panels also, which makes a monochrome paintjob more interesting. It's not much more work, bud does improve the result a lot. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you luck Phil, when I used Micro Mask, it always disappointed me, but I never used it on panes. The most annoying part was to get rid of it, as it adheres too strong, at least at detailed parts. Maybe it's of use on the glasshouse.

The most annoying part was to get I guess I’ll soon find out, I know what you mean, for being so thin in does grip like hell. The only alternative was cut masks but that would have meant laying a scalpel on the canopies……..wish me luck 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Well, this thread has convinced me. I have ordered a ICM JU-88. Should get here by end of Jan 2022. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Phil And of course wishing you luck with the Micro Mask - one tough job for sure. I’ve never masked a canopy with it mother then small fill in areas and it does grip as if it was ‘nailed’ in place. 🤞 Keep ‘em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
