  1. Hello fellow modellers. I only brush paint at the moment. On a one colour coverage I manage to avoid brush strokes. However, when applying the darker camouflage to a model (in standard RAF patterns) I use a smaller round brush and the paintwork tends to be patchy and highlights the brush strokes. Do any more experienced modellers have any tips or advice they could impart please? Thanks for reading.

    Crazy Paving

    Hello, I’m after some advice from the more seasoned modellers. Or varnish experts - or both! I have a model that I’ve painted with Humbrol 64 acrylic. Allowed to dry for 20 or so hours. I applied a layer of Hycote Matt Laquer spray. Within milliseconds, it had caused extensive crazy paving on sections of the model - noticeably in the flatter areas. There is some very mild impact on some red/brown areas too. What causes this? And… Any suggestions on methods to repair this? Thanks Mark
  4. A beauty. Quick shine? Is that the floor polish?
  5. Thanks Adrian. I’ve just ordered one. (Two!) 👍
  6. 13.97…! Just the canopy to dry and fit. Hobby Boss P-51B
  7. Wow. That’s a beautiful collection.
  8. I love the Fiat G55. Where did you find that beauty?
  9. My first year modelling. All models 1/72 scale. Killed in action: Airfix Val - sanding and then more sanding. Airfix Spitfire and Hurricane - clash of paints and varnish. Airfix F4U - landing gear paradox. Missing in action (no photos): Airfix P-51 x3 - a variety of issues. Airfix Typhoon - oil wash stains. The final cut: Airfix P-51D PMM Sea Fury Airfix M-109 Airfix Stuka J-87B Tamiya FAA Corsair Airfix RAF Mustang Airfix RAF Mustang Airfix Defiant Airfix Zero Italeri P-38 Hasegawa Kate Airfix Spitfire Airfix Tiger One to finish tomorrow, so as to not finish on 13! This forum is an inspiration and I’ve learned so much over the past 12 months thanks to the kind feedback from so many users of this website. Happy New Year to you all.
  10. The thought hadn’t crossed my mind given my limited knowledge of painting. I’ll do some reading…
  11. For info, this is due to a compatibility issue with Hataka Blue Line paint.
