It has been a long winter, spring, summer and now fall. I have been modelling but not updating the blog. I have some updating to do. Here we go...
Using Tamiya paint and Leveling Thinner 400
Using my trusty Patriot 105 for this base coat. NO tip drying of ANY kind with Tamiya and leveling thinner. Thin thinned down coats always helps.
Adding the canopy
stippled on some Mr.. Surfacer 500 then painted.
SOME chipping. Did not want to go too heavy.
Used Future on the model, an old bottle I had.
The decals kept getting cloudy and after a few hours they dried fine.
Got scared and coated the model with Aqua Gloss.
Better coverage
For some reason the decals were reacting weird when put on to the Future, maybe it was too old?.
But after drying the clouding went away.
With the Aqua Gloss on, no issues at all with the decals.
This decal was a Pain IN THE ASS. Needed heat, and tons of decal setter to make it flatten properly.
In the end it was fine. Tamiya decals are TOOOOOOOOO thick.
Used all 3 to get that white Indian head decal bachround to set right.
