LSP_K2 got a reaction from LSP_Ray in Zvezda 767-300 (KLM)
Top lines (across fuselage), as well as vertical lines that were lost during sanding of the window areas, have now been restored. I went a bit deeper that I normally might, but am counting on the paint to blend that all in nicely.

LSP_K2 reacted to Pete Roberts in New Kotare product - Spitfire (and Hurricane) exhausts
Just got word that Kotare have added a new product - 3D printed exhausts for later Mk Ia (mid and late), II and Va/b (mid and late) aircraft, also applicable to some Hurricanes.

LSP_K2 got a reaction from Shoggz in Hasegawa P-40N
Intake seams now worked out to my satisfaction (finally), but still in need of another light coat of MRP Neutral Grey 43. Should I ever get around to doing the E, I’ll make it a point to paint the screens first, then assemble the intake parts, correct the seams and then glue them in place, which is what I should have done this time.

Bomb now assembled and spritzed with MRP OD 41. Still some minor errors to correct, but I assumed that might happen. So, the OD at this point, basically serves to highlight the errors to be repaired, or at least that’s the story I’m sticking with.

I've chosen a different scheme, so don't need them anymore, but thanks for remembering.

Without the specific dimensions it does not look very complicated to extrapolate them from the ones of the top window located close to it.

LSP_K2 reacted to Tolga ULGUR in A-20G HAVOC Sharkmouth in New Guinea
Thanks for your replies.
I realize I won't be able to find enough information about this specific A20. But it looks like I'll eventually build it somehow. I think I can use the "P" code on the tail, slightly change the serial number in the details Martin gave, and be done. Just don't blame me when I do this.

Nothing specific to the aircraft in question, but cool anyway.

LSP_K2 reacted to LSP_Kevin in Minicraft 1/144 Iron Maiden 757
Happily, the FCD Coroguard decals came off without much trouble at all:
The next step is to give the entire model a couple of liberal gloss coats to protect the existing decals and paint work, and then it's on to some tedious masking...
Stay tuned!

OK, I did my best to capture the issue in a photo:
They're like that all the way along both wings. They reacted badly to Microsol, and these wrinkles are still there more than a day later, and even after trying other decal setting solutions. The uppers aren't in great shape either, and haven't even had any Microsol yet.
I'll strip them off and mask and paint them (the lower ones are out of position anyway). Quite bummed about this, as it was all going quite well until this point. But then, it isn't really one of my builds until something like this happens...

I will look to see if I can find a part number for it. If I can, then someone can look for the blueprint at AirCorpsLibrary.com and that should provide the information you need.

The fact that some folks have time to catch minutia like this and discuss it is..... impressive. Tell you what - shrink the placard down to 32nd scale and then circle back if it remains an issue.

Yep. Done stuff like that. At least it looks good now.

Adding the kit IP decals to the unmodified IP was probably unwise, but after numerous coats of Solvaset, it actually looks OK. IP on the real deal is rather bland and colorless anyway, so I think I can live with this.
