Kallisti Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Well thank fully it wasn't too difficult to get rid of it and repaint the surface in preparation for the correct mask I've also added some extra panel shadings and fixed some paint faults in the meantime. Fingers crossed the corrected masks arrive tomorrow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Klear got put on last night and has turned out rather well... This evening I've been putting some stencil decals on and just finished masking the windows in preparation for the matt varnish... and then disaster struck AGAIN!! I decided that the engines should also be masked to retain their gloss/satin finish so put some masking tape over them. I then noticed it wasn't quite straight so tried to peel it off and half of the black stripe decal came off with it!!!! But but but... there was supposed to be a barrier layer of Klear on to protect against this very thing!!!! Thankfully I was able to get the existing decals off the model without a problem - they hadn't adhered very well in the first place it seems! I've since then been able to get the unused decal sheet from before and apply two brand new black stripes into the engines to replace the ones that I ruined! Phew that was a close one! once they are dry I'll consider doing the matt varnish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You made that build look deceptively easy. Grand work and I assume it will be on show at Telford. Cheers, Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
