  1. Did anyone have any luck with these decals. I've made 2 models now and can't seem to get them to work. First one I didn't realise and was left with silver even though I glossed micro sol and set it which I've never had a problem before. 2nd I got them down and was even more careful but ended up either not being able to get the film off or the decals came of as well! I tried the masking tape method and enamel thinner I saw someone suggested as well. It's almost like the decals aren't sticking probably to the model. Making a focke wulf now and having similar issues. Am i missing a trick or something? It's quite frustrating as I loved making Eduard kits but it's making me hesitant to now. Cheers
  2. Brilliant, that sounds like it's going to be awesome. The spitfire looks great 👍 Look forwards to seeing the rest!
  3. Wow these are fantastic. Love the variation in the bases aswell. Feel very inspired. If you don't mind we asking, what's next in the pipe line?

    Paint comparability

    Hi guys, I was wondering how compatible ak real 'color' is with standard acrylics. I.e. can I spray it over say standard water based acrylic or will it crack? When I bought them, when they first came out, I was under the impression that they were normal acrylics but the smell and further research suggests otherwise! Many thanks in advance Joss
  5. Thanks Johnson, Im going to try get it done for next week so fingers crossed...
  6. Thanks guys, I have had a bit of a hiccup, when I was removing the majority of the washes I accidentally stripped of a large section of paint on the wing 😒 I think it's fixable but it's going to take me time to sand it down and get it nice and smooth to repaint again so unfortunately I'm not going to finish it in time. I will post my model up in the RFI when I'm done with it but for now I have to apologise and wish everyone else the best of luck! All the best Joss
  7. Hi Micheal, just had a look at your build and she's stunning. I think I'll run the paint brush to change that line. Some interesting differences. The Eduard kit doesn't contain all numbers for the serial on the tail and the extra kill markings as well. Thanks for sharing! Thanks Joss
  8. After some time away from this project I finally got back to it. The main decals are on. I'm not 100% whether to add the stencils, I'll probably go for the major ones Here's a few photos, it doesn't show the finish in these photos but I'll crack out the DSLR later and hope for the magic orb in the sky to finally appear. Just the inner landing gear doors to add and the main flaps. Then onto the fun part, Weathering! I adjusted the front landing gear so it sits more upright. I'll take a photo later but I compared them against two tamiya kits and she seems to sit at the same angle. Any comments or suggestion welcome Thanks for looking Joss
  9. Brilliant! She looks amazing. I like how realistic she looks. I alway find tamiyas example models to look toy like but yours does the kit justice and looks like the real thing! Joss
  10. Rightio everyone making abit more progress. I need to tidy up the invasion stripes with a brush. I've started getting decals on and slowly getting towards wrapping up this model Thanks for looking. Any comments or suggestions welcome. All the best Joss
  11. I keep coming back and looking at this. She is such a lovely model. Well done All the best Joss
  12. Quite so Johnson, I found I was getting dispondent trying to get a perfect model so now I just try to do the best I can! Here's a picture of her with her theatre markings on. Just got to get the invasion stripes on and the nose and tail colours. Post picture, I've got the olive drab on but need to lighten it up so that should be tomorrow's job. Thanks for looking Joss
  13. Happy with how the silver came out so in going to try a nmf aircraft probably miss Steve. Not going to be 100% accurate but I'm enjoying myself Thanks for looking Joss
