It’s been one of those days.... If you can’t laugh at yourself, you truly have no life. I checked and double checked, even triple checked... I didn’t even realize it until I went to place the National markings. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix, but I must be getting a bit soft in the head. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted April 14, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2020 Ok guys, i might be overthinking this, but.. Hataka Orange khaki is lacquer. Blue is Vallejo Air. An acrylic, right? I simply want to mist over the blue, let it set, then do a cover coat. Will Hataka attack Vallejo? My mind says no, as I’ve used plenty of Gunze lacquers over Tamiya acrylics with no issues. I think Hataka is plenty mild, definitely not a “hot” paint, so that is a good thing. The blue stripe is very thin, not much more than a mist, and a simple overpaint is not going to show mask lines. Thoughts? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reason why the Polish markings are not symmetrical applied on the wings. On my Karas it's the same, so it must be a Polish idea.

It was actually a very easy fix. Just made sure the blue was completely dry, then make a couple of VERY light passes with the khaki, letting it dry between coats. Then hit it with the big one. Simple dimple. I think bigger problems often happen when someone panics and tries to wipe it off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my kind of aircraft but your build triggers the "I like" button. Lothar thanks Lothar. It's a fun build. All mistakes are mine alone. But I will warn you that I have several grey jets that keep winking at me. Tamiya F-15E and 16CJ, Acadamy SUFA, Trumpter Mig-29K and 29A, and Kinetic multi kit for F-18A/B. So one of these days I'll need to build something grey and boring... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
