Wee Beastie Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 With a very deep breath (held for a very long time! ), the masks were removed. Just a couple of little touch ups needed, but otherwise, very pleased with the way turned it’s out. Now breathe.....

fewr9fkr9595 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 That is a million times better looking than using the decals mate. Nice subtle variation in them compared to a solid colour decal. Good effort! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Top job ian, cracking effort on the masks, and a lesson on how not to make a single color boring, great variation of greys Glynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive oversight by ModellCollect methinks. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that they were decals from looking at some of the other completed builds I have seen of this... learn something every day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 After applying some gloss, the decals have been applied. I tried out Hataka’s lacquer gloss for the first time. Dry pleased with it. Nice finish, and dries fully in minutes. Oh, and those areas that were done with mask set....not one of those RAM is included in the kit as decals.DSC_2812 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2812 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2812 by ian gaskell, on FlickrDSC_2812 by ian gaskell, on Flickr 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil5208 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Looks outstanding, one of the club members brought one of these in last Friday night and I was impressed at detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Beastie Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 With the decals fully dried, I’ve misted Gunship Grey over the whole airframe. This has toned done the decals, and the RAM panels. This was followed by adding black to the grey, and darkening the walkway areas.

Harrier/ViperFan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Where did you guys buy this beauty of a kit? Can I buy it in the UK? Great work on the kit masks and paint look better than the decal option I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on the kit masks and paint look better than the decal option I think. Thanks. The kit I got from Gary Ford, at Tiger Hobbies. I don’t whether he’s any left. https://www.tigerhobbies.co.uk/ The mask set is by New Ware, and that was bought from Hannants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpl Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I saw it on Facebook, and I want to say it again - great done. Beautifil result, and very interesting plane. Really nice to see it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t15dja Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 A superb result to be proud of. Can't wait to start mine now. A question.....would you say it was worth investing in the Eduard cockpit & internal detail set, or would it be not visible on the completed model? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not going to see much, through the windshield. The kits PE is adequate. The money you’d would spend on the Eduard bits, you can put towards the New Ware RAM panel mask set.
