They'll probably fall apart once they hit water. I was thinking I could clear coat before I try to use them. Never done it before. Is there a particular clear you guys would recommend? Get yourself some Microscale Liquid Decal Film. Kev Ayovan and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever print your own decals, for example, it's essential. Kev Ayovan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Coming down the stretch trying to get finished so I can start the Spitfire. The Sabre, an F-100, and the Spit are just too many fires at one time..... scvrobeson, Phantom2, Shoggz and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is coming together. All the parts are ready. I just need to finish up the paint work and a couple small decals before giving it a finish coat of gloss.

Ayovan Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Kind of stalled at the moment, but I hope to get back on it soon. The landing gear, canopy, and speed brakes are ready for final installation, but not until I get a finish gloss coat sprayed. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Love it! Plus i never knew it was orange underneath, go figure! That lower fuselage looks good, man orange is hard to spray. Ayovan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lower fuselage looks good, man orange is hard to spray. I knew it was orange on the bottom, but what I never knew was the underside of the wings were silver, while the tops are white. MRP paints are pretty easy to spray. Basically 3 coats. 1st coat is just a mist coat, second coat is for color, and 3rd coat is for shine. Lacquer lays down pretty nice, so there isn't an over abundance of build up, and when it gets cleared there is hardly any masking edge. MRP paints make it easy to look like I know what I'm doing, even when I don't.
