blackbetty Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) here is the result (panel lines have been rescribed). in the pics you cant really see it, but i think i have to sand off all the metalizer and start over on the tanks even though i did polish the plastic there are still seams and scratches visible Edited March 13, 2013 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Karl WOW! The results look simply stellar. Totally agree about the best way to proceed is cut off the clear carrier film and don't temp fate with any sealer. The NMF looks brilliant.

Guest Peterpools Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Karl Stellar work on the decals and markings. I feel your pain as I just went through the same with my Spit. Just am amazed at how fantastic the NMF looks - awesome work. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 ken, guy, maru, thanx for dropping in! most of the parts are on now, i only have to finish the cockpit. the hobby boss rear clear part has a frame with riverts where there should be reinforcing strips, so i carefully sanded these off first. then i started experimenting with white decals strips, but couldnt get them to sit in the right places. also the white decal film was see-through a bit, so i decided to use some self adhesive white plastic foil instead. on the real thing you can also see the strips overlap, so i think this works quite nicely some more trimming necessary, but its getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
