KevinM Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Time to hit the cabinet with this one fellas.I will never ATTM use a liquid mask (suggestions anyone) it was a bear to get off the ALL the glass were it was applied.I had to use alcohol to remove and then polish everything with Mequiars added another 2/3 hrs of work.I like her was an enjoyable kit over all much like the B-25.The next one to hit the desk is another off the SOD a 1/32 Trumpter P-47 D Montex 9
DocRob Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Very nice Kevin, I like your bluebird a lot. Liquid masks, hmm, I use different brands, but my go to's are from Mr. Color, I think they are called NEO and SOL NEO, one is solvent, the other is a bit thinner and water based. I never had problems removing these. I also have Molotow masking fluid, which smells horrible and I used it for half flood parts in it. It's a big bottle and therefore perfect for these occasions. I once used Microscale liquid mask, and this was nearly impossible to remove, horrible stuff. Cheers Rob 4
HubertB Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Good-looking Mossie, Kevin 👍 ! These glass-nosed Mosquitoes were definitely the best-looking ones. And, strangely enough, the all-blue scheme alleviates some of the funky shape of the wing leading edge over the radiator intake … Like it a lot ! Hubert 2 1
