dodgem37 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I like your metal-work. Good show. Why 'experimenting' with decals? Are you expecting a problems? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) just the fit of the stripes could be a problem. i made them one piece, but that didnt work, so i have to print more also the red on yellow are twopart (yellow cut out of yellow paper, red printed on clear) - but i think it works....

Out2gtcha Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Wow what a terrific looking NMF Karl! Out of curiosity, it appears similar to "Rub-N-Buff" or something? Or is it paint? blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) these are modelmaster and gunze metallizers applied with a stiff brush over darker and lighter base. it gives worn look and the decal film disappears completely. sometimes i use some flat clear on certain panels too Edited July 19, 2019 by blackbetty Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive used MM before with very limited success, as I found the MM stuff didnt seem to be super durable after application. I found this especially true with their metalizer clear coat.

Biggles87 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I’ve been following your build, but only just joined LSP, sorry to bombard you with all the ‘likes’ at one time. I have the Kinetic version with the AMS short cockpit set and the same CMK set. Your build is providing me with lots of tips and I’m glad that joining the front and rear fuselage parts first works as that’s what I was planning to do. More comments and likes soon.

Biggles87 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Hello again, I’m building an Academy 1/48 Sabre at the moment and discovered ( by accident ) that the instrument panel can be inserted from above after the fuselage halves have been joined. I see that you are doing the same, did you have to make any adjustments to anything to be able to do it? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 since the ip is a resin part from Harold i had to make it fit anyway, dont know if you can fit the kit part after closing the fuselage, sorry Biggles87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
