The gloss coat improves surface smoothness (glass like surface) and prevents/minimises the risk of trapped air between the carrier film and model surface. The silvering is most likely because of not evenly leveled or very thin applied or not fully surface covering gloss coat layer. Sometimes applying MicroSet/MicroSol helps on that. Serkan

In my Flanker build I applied the mask directly on the surface and used blu tack to get softened edges which worked quite well and gave me full control of the transition zone between the colors depending on tack thickness. Serkan

Westland Wasp HAS.1 1/24th scale - Build Thread
Serkan Sen replied to TheBaron's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
What about coating the molds with 2K auto clear varnish? "Varnish polyurethane two-component (2K) that is used for the permanent glossy sealing of painted surfaces. Is specially designed for final finishing of parts and repairs. This product has a long-lasting resistance to moisture and chemicals." As far as I remember I used that method for 1:72 vacform canopies with good results in the past. Serkan -

I use this PVC clear sheet to cut the Blackbird windows. The PVC sheet is equipped with a peel-off protective film on both sides to prevent scratches. I don't know whether they can be used for vacforming. But maybe such material can solve that problem: https://www.ebay.de/itm/395249729042 Serkan -
Very eye catching model. Congratulations! Serkan

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the build. You're absolutely right about the scale; Here are with some other Blackbird models to give a better sense of its size. 1:72 M-21 is on top of 1:32 YF-12A: Here are left to right 1:32 YF-12A, 1:48 A-12 and again 1:72 YF-12A together: Serkan

I had to do similar modifications to bring my old Hasegawa Foxbat to correct shape. Great work! Congratulations. Serkan

I have created a RFI topic to present my build here: It will be updated when the engine model is done. Serkan

Hi Modellers, I would like to present my 1:32 scale Lockheed YF-12A build. I've put together some initial photos of the full aircraft and a few detail shots. Please note, the engine model is not yet finished. I plan to add more photos to this post once the engines are complete. You can find WIP here: Hope you enjoy the preview! Cheers, Serkan

Many thanks @tony.t, @LorenSharp for your kind words. I gave my best to finish this huge model as good as possible. Here are few photos of the transportation phase and from the exhibition: During first day my younger daughter accompanied me. During the second day all family members were there... Serkan

Many thanks @Alan P and @Screech for your kind words. Yes this is a huge model with a length of 100cm!.. Currently at home there is no place to display such a big aircraft. The safest area is the heating room in the basement 🙃 The cockpit tub surrounding frames were painted to steel/Titanium and the ejections seats to light gray. The seat cushion and belts were painted to khaki green: And finally the canopies and windshield were placed and the aircraft was ready to display in the modellers exhibition (although the engine was not ready to install): Serkan

The AIM-47 Falcon parts assembled together. The decal artwork for no step marking was resized and printed to decal paper. The missiles were painted to white. The missile markings were printed as well: Here is the model with all decals placed: Serkan
