Michael Church Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hope it works for you, Chris. The idea of cutting masking tape around all those angles in the body seemed like a sure way to slice into paint. I think the Sol R stuff might come off more easily from polished paint--I had a couple spots of orange peel where it took some encouragement to remove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflowne Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Great work on this BT44, white is not so easy to apply. 1/43rd world is always surprising, a pleasure with sometimes great crisis, so little parts can easily run away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Church Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 I managed to nearly wrap this kit up over a long weekend and made room to take these quick poor-quality phone photos. There's some touchup left here and there, and I think I can get the cowl to fit a little better, but I'm overall very happy with the results. If I get ambitious I'll take some photos for a ready for inspection post with better light and something approximating better focal depth control. For the next venture into exposed painted suspension components I have ceramic-coated tweezers and nylon-covered flat pliers on the way (thanks again to Ron @silver911 for his suggestions in @Octavian's MFH GTO build). As I've said before in this thread, Tameo engineered this very well and it went together more easily than I would have expected. It's given me the confidence to tackle the MFH 1/43 Bugatti 35B in my backlog once I finish up a couple of road cars in progress. Anyway, on to the photos. Thanks for watching! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Church Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks all. The responses are much appreciated. Watching my build while following others here has been extremely instructive as a way of building skill and setting expectations for the next build.
