IanC Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 On 16/10/2017 at 9:48 AM, Tony Oliver said: Yeah its a clear varnish billed as a substitute for klear/floor polish type coatings. Similar to aquagloss. AK also do a thicker gauzy product in a tub to dip clear parts. However be warned, is doesn’t like being sanded according to @Mike and also doesn’t go on top of decals too well. Seems to shrink away from itself and crack/craze when ontop of smooth decals. Like it cant hold on? I’m not the only one to discover this, see here Its still great for a pre decal gloss coat or protecting an NMF or metallic painted bits before an enamel wash as acrylic NMF’s can be quite fragile 👍🏿 Hope that helps Ian. Thanks Tony. Useful info. Good WIP too - suitably inspired I have two 262s whistling their way to me, plus a set of Xtradecals. New blade in the knife - all ready to go!

JPuente54 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 This kit is finally on my side of the pond; will order it in a day or two. Doubt that it will be as good as yours; but, will give it a go. Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wm Blecky Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Your 262 looks great! Such a real pity that Airfix botched the kit by omitting the vent detail on the rear of the engine nacelles. It's not a kit that I would bother to purchase as it would have been correct engine nacelles that would have persuaded me to buy it in the first place. No point in trading off one kit's engine nacelle problems for another's (both Revell and Hasegawa have issues in this area although nothing as blatantly obvious as omitting the vent details). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossiant Oliver Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) I give you the "I can't believe it's not a bigger scale" award. Also what colors did you use? Edited December 25, 2017 by Crossiant Oliver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paints are in the first pic! However if not clear enough its sovereign colourcoats 81/82 over 76. With 02 & 66 in wells and pit.
