Retired Bob Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Really good recovery Stew. At least you didn't have to make any repairs to the plastic, like if it had reached the terminal phase. Been there, done that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 Thanks very much for your sympathy and support gents I don't care what everyone else says, I think you're all right I didn't get a lot done yesterday, but I did make a little progress; I re-masked and re-sprayed the wing root fairing: Aye that'll do Hopefully I can get on with repainting the Braunviolet today... hopefully I can match the replacement mottling reasonably well with the original Cheers, Stew 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hello gents I think I might have got away with it: I'm very pleased, there was a stage there when I thought it was ruined and headed binwards. Now I'm waiting on my new varnish arriving Hopefully I'll get this done over the weekend. Cheers, Stew 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbeknown to most I have a portrait of another 190D kit in my attic... every bad thing that happens to my model, every vice and corruption, does not show on my model but on the picture in the attic... the picture of Dora Gray... Oh, and always tip your barber Well I'm calling it done boys: More pics in the Gallery here. Thanks to everyone who provided information and advice (especially @Retired Bob, thank you very much ) or moral support, virtual sympathy, dog chat etc. - thank you all, it's been fun enough for me to start another build over the weekend Cheers, Stew 11 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_W Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Well done Stew. My, you wrapped this one up quickly. When I saw you had posted in the gallery I thought "what!" you must of had another secret build, but no. Congratulations on a splendid model and especially for overcoming the paint issue. I really enjoyed following along. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
