PanzerWomble Posted Monday at 11:06 AM Posted Monday at 11:06 AM Looking good , I take it the placards are Airscale stuff not with the boxing? 2
BlrwestSiR Posted Monday at 12:54 PM Posted Monday at 12:54 PM Nice detail. I was wondering about the placards as well. They really add an extra level of detail. 3
Martinnfb Posted Monday at 02:04 PM Author Posted Monday at 02:04 PM Thank you guys. The placards are from the Airfix decal sheet tyt is actually quite comprehensive, minus the selection of markings, which is utterly boring considering the endless options to shine. I tried new ATOM series paint from Ammo and the result is satisfactory. To the point that I’ve purged the rest of my Mig and Arcus paint. 5 1

Tamiya / MRP makes a good undercoat as it is more robust. Oh and also they level very well , brush touch ups over sprayed areas blend pretty good. PS I thought Arsfix putting an RAF colour scheme in there was just kinda silly TBH for a first release , although if you can't do mottling or use an airbrush at all I guess it gives you a way out . 4 1

Martinnfb Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Well seems like ages filled with putty and mild frustration. I managed to create a semi decent seam line at the front and scribed some seal along the rear. Then placed the hinge decal on top. After priming the top I realized that the hing is sinking in. What are you sinking about hinge? and then I discovered the famous seam line that I failed to sand enough. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Martin, I've got the perfect tool to get rid of that seam. It's a circular sanding pad that goes in a rotary tool. You can get different grit sanding pads for them. They're made by Dspiae and come in two sizes. They're fairly inexpensive too. 1 1
