Thomas Megahy Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi all, brand new member, with zero experience currently building the 1:72 - F-117A Night hawk level 3 of a build. ( Buggered the first attempt ) This is now my second and was going extremely well until decided to Gloss varnish it with Vallejo Mecha varnish 27.701. I know think this was a bad idea for this type of finish on that plane. As images of the plane weren't that shiny online anyway. The gloss varnish, came out like orange peel. I then tried a matt varnish and that worked great. Any ways thats me all introduced... now say your worst...;-)) Thanks Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfgred1 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Welcome onboard. And no worries, I don't think there is anybody in the modelling world that haven't have a SNAFU. The important thing, other than have fun doing models, is to learn about the issues and find solutions to it so they do not happen again... (at least not often...). Will be waiting for some pictures of your built. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
