Ash I don't mind a bit of it...makes it feel like real modeling when it takes a little finesse and fiddling to get to where you want to be. Kits that go together w/ no work can feel a bit sterile...however it's easy to go too far the other way, and up with too much extra work and lose heart. It's a tightrope we walk. I have some patience...but I do have a limit. Probably why the RA-5C is still sitting on the corner of the desk 5 years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi all, masked up the undersides and sprayed the Dark Slate Grey over the past couple of days. I used a Vallejo Air bottle and just say it is a dream to spray compared to Xtracrylix 😬 Ash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Sorry the spam! EDSG has now been sprayed. Unfortunately a few areas need touching up. The masking tape has caused the paint to lift in two areas too 🙄 Ash 1 hour ago, helios16v said: I don't mind a bit of it...makes it feel like real modeling when it takes a little finesse and fiddling to get to where you want to be.

Shake and bake aren’t a challenge but some limited run make me want to throw them at the wall! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi all, touched up the camo and have painted the prop and nosecone assy. Next thing was to stand her up on her own legs, thanks to some earlier fiddling they went on very easily. Next thing was to spray a gloss coat of Tamiya Clear. Decals and that mean looking shark mouth next!!! Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doccur Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Decals are on, with the deadline looming! 👀 They went on like a dream apart from the underwing roundels which had to bed down over a tear-drop hump... the setting solution has sorted that out though. Need to apply the stencils next and then it’s on to weathering tomorrow! Ash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
