Skodadriver Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 4 hours ago, Viking said: No problem Keith, I had already realised that the hinge needed filling, but had painted it all and was ready for decalling. I was talking to my mate 'Stringbag' who suggested Vallejo filler would be ok over the painted surface as it could be smoothed off easily, and then given a light overcoat of paint. I couldn't get hold of any, so thought 'never mind, I'll do it on the next one' . I'll be sure to follow your advice before I spray any primer on it! Thanks for all the kind comments guys! Cheers John John, if it's of any help I've done just that using superfine (white) Milliput and it worked well. I scraped most of the paint out of the hinge, put the Milliput on, smoothed it with a wet finger, let it set, rubbed it down lightly with 1500 wet and dry then touched up the white. Superfine Milliput is my go-to substance for any post-finishing skulduggery because it's more or less white and doesn't attack paint. (Sorry if I'm telling you something you know already!)

Dave G Thanks Dave, that is probably what i would have done. I also use the superfine white Milliput, and your advice is spot on! My problem was that I had it fully painted, ready for decalling when I noticed that I should have filled that lower hinge. I really didn't want to start filling, sanding, and spraying more paint on it at this stage. I decided to live with it instead. As you can probably tell, I like to get them as complete as possible before starting to put decals on! it reduces the risk of getting paint/glue fingermarks on them.

Challenger350Pilot Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This is really good! I love the cockpit and the figures; even if they aren't seen well, YOU know they are there, and YOU know the work you put in to accomplish such a detail. Job well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've had to drop back in for another gander at this smashing '37. Simply superb and with its own unique little scratch built flight deck too. Quite stunning workmanship and such dedication to detail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
