Live and learn! Hit the plastic with a super fine abrasive sponge or steel wool. Brett M and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I am not yet into the super detailing stuff (will happen, just not denu (Scottish for now). Thanks all! It’ll definitely work out well, and once weathering goes over it, should be good. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painting, painting, and more painting...….walkways are on, single digit 1 on the fuselage for "Reluctant Dragon". Anyone know how thin Montex decals area? They look pretty decent, but I've never used them.....hoping I can hide the carrier film well. Also, the white stripes that I see on the wings of some F4U's, do those mean anything? No clue if this bird had them, but they do add interest...... Dropped the flaps in place as well for some photos. I'll finish the walk ways on those tomorrow. Just another quick update tonight.....back to the wifey, migraine night for her. And.....color hue change, don't ask me why I didn't fix it..... nmayhew, Landrotten Highlander, Trak-Tor and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar Thanks Mike, Lothar, I appreciate the comments. Quick post tonight, just sharing some engine progress. I've painted the prop governor, distributor, magnetos etc. (not sure actual names) and just need to attach them later. I've drilled the spark plug holes for all the wiring to be run to them and will be starting on wiring the ignition ring next. PS, I hate close up shots......things to fix! Glad this engine is much smaller than the image is! Landrotten Highlander, Lothar, Starfighter and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
