DocRob Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 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 !
