R Palimaka Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yes! Forgot about the Beaufighter, with two engines to boot! Shaka HI, Big Texan, Bill_S and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I've used acrylic, enamel and lacquer as washes over Future. The only thing I now that will damage Future after it cures. Ammonia, which is in Windex. If you dip a clear part in Future and find debris, dust...soak in Windex. I let mine cure for 24 hours between application and decals and visa-versa. I've been using this stuff since the late 80's and have had exactly 2 problems (1) Cutting Edge tail stripe decal on my PG1 (2) 1 Hobby Craft NVAF decal on my MiG-19. Don't know about Tamiya X-22 except I can buy a 27 Fl Oz bottle of Future for what 2 1/3 Fl Oz X-22. Just my 2 cents jack I've had 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol damage a future finish... marauderdriver, MikeMaben, Shawn M and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I've had 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol damage a future finish... I stand corrected Bill,....I never use alcohol except to drink.. Shaka HI and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Thanks guys! Alcohol for drinking only these days. I used to use it with tempra washes to aid in flow but it stained everything the solution touched and started to attack decals with clear coats over them. Now i use water with my tempra. The kit decals reaaaaallllyyyy slow down the process as they take forever to dry and even longer to settle in with many many many coats of micro-sol. I'm down to the Fuse codes and fuse roundels, then decals are done. Taking tonight off to see Family and friends, but back at it all weekend!

Shawn M Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 ended up with some bench time last night top roundels all snuggled in decals all cut close and scored to remove carrier film nose art done underside done rear numbers after applications, you can see the milkyness under the decal, I scored this in many places and soaked it in sol first side done! after a night of soaking and slitting one more side to go before gloss!

Shawn M Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks Peter, the lines play tricks with my eyes and make certain ones look crooked yet they are aligned to the panel line. Looking forward to having this part done so I can start assembly. Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
