dogsbody Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 They are support rods for the collector ring. It's very difficult to find good, clear pictures of them. Chris 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verily, that is the question (hic). You can save them Ced. 🧐 I wouldn’t sand em off. Is that a smudge on the kit or on the photo on the right? Either way I think make a mask and spray the roundels again if you like but to be fair they look ok to me, but if you’re not happy. Deffo try and save without sanding back though. Just my thoughts you know. 🤗 Good luck sir. Johnny 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution....revisit said watering hole, ingest copious amounts of alcohol , return home via the long way round and only then reappraise roundels. 😉 now they look OK. Seriously the CedB, I think most of us have been there and it is an awful feeling having to revisit work already done, however, I have full confidence in you old bean to arrive at the right conclusion and end result. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I'd try a re-mask and spray first Ced before making any decisions about sanding... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amblypygid Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I think I've been terribly uncouth and not commented here yet, Ced. I'm with the others here in having confidence in your ability to sort out those roundels. This build is a splendid demonstration of your skills, you've done a really nice modelling job here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks Thom and especially Chris for the info and photos of the collector ring supports - I shall stick some of those in later Thanks Johnny, John, Gary, Tony, Chris and Keith for advice and support on the roundels (see below) Thanks Bill and I really hope your back's better before you set off - have a great time matey A careful micro-meshing to remove any nasties then a very careful application of new masks: The plan is to remove each part of the mask and touch up as required, starting with the red: This time I'll make sure each mask is properly positioned before I start! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
