RJS Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hey Guys, Firstly, thanks for my warm welcome. Appreciate it There was a request for my F-15 C..so here it is. I finished this one a while ago, so I'm a bit sketchy on the build details. Has the Aires cockpit, which if I remember was a pain to get in. Results are worth it, and the detail is second to none. I went for a bit of a faded look with the paint job. This was my first and last foray into the world of Model Master Enamels. I'm sure they are great once you know how to use them, and I practiced to get the application right. But for some reason, they just did not work.. Thanks for looking Rob Whitey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Rob, good looking mudhen, but could you elaborate on your painting "troubles" if possible? Jack. Hi Jack When I sprayed I got dry-flight. The surface of the model was like sandpaper. Luckily I was able to resurrect it by gently sanding the surface with some Wet and Dry sandpaper, 1400 grit and up. I then gloss coated for decals, then Testors dull-cote over the top. I think the reason I got dry-flight was the temperature. I seem to recall it was hot when I painted the model, which is pretty normal here in the sub-tropics of Australia. You live and learn.
