Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks Ray The Seversky sure came close to being the victor. Just glad to move on. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks Rick A partner in crime for sure and some mighty large repairs on the Jug's Alclad finish. Somehow, I just never was ab;e to reply the alclad over the repair to blend in correctly. After 3 Tamiya Mustang's, I thought I had the procedure down pat but such was not the case. How did the final repairs come out? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdthoresen Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Peter-I had to chime in and tell you what an awesome job I think you are doing on this old pig of a kit.......I know it has been challenging for you at various stages, but I think you will agree that once you complete it, you will gain an enormous sense of satisfaction from it, more so than a shake and bake kit. As far as repairing the alclad, I have never had much luck feathering it in either. I have had to sand and respray entire panels in the past. But I must say your perseverance is paying off. Please keep the updates coming!Happy Holidays-THOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks Rick A partner in crime for sure and some mighty large repairs on the Jug's Alclad finish. Somehow, I just never was ab;e to reply the alclad over the repair to blend in correctly. After 3 Tamiya Mustang's, I thought I had the procedure down pat but such was not the case. How did the final repairs come out? Peter The pics I posted is the current build status. This really set me back (emotionally) so I put her on deck and have been focusing on my Tiffy and FW190 Mistel. I am planning to mask around the guilty panels and reapply primer and my Tamiya Black/Clear/Leveling Thinner brew. From there I will start all over with Alclad application. If fail, I will reapply primer, et al globally. Edited December 26, 2014 by Rick K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks Bob It was touch and go for a while and at one point, I thought the Seversky was winning but lady Luck stepped in and all is back underway now. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks Brian I was starting to cave in but all the enthusiastic support kept me plugging away. Right now, I'm doing some decaling and getting ready to paint on the fuselage and cowl stripes. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks Jack I'm right with you and looking for the Jug's Grand-pappy to cross the finish line, Believe me, when it comes to screwing up, doesn't matter what the finish is, I create a disaster.

Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Derek Very much appreciated - just glad it's out of the repair shop and I'm able to make some progress again Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thor Holy smokes, thanks for checking in and it's been touch and go - nothing like the easy kits of yesteryear. Sometimes, I'll keep the update coming and roll this 'classic' across the line. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Rick Right with you for sure. After all the aggravation, I've been toying with using Tamiya Gloss for the Base, which is what I used for small areas on other builds. Hoping you get back to the Jug and the repair works out perfectly. Keep us in the loop on your progress. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
