AliGauld Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 As you see the wing and fuselage stickers have settled in well overnight. As expected the tailplane ones will need a little more TLC with softener and scalpel. They've been hit with more softener and I'll see how they look later. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've started to settle after the scalpel and softener treatment. Another couple of rounds of softener should do the trick.

It is good primer but the cleanup of the airbrush afterwards is a total pain. Cheers, Alistair Just found this thread, and reading through it. I shoot Stynlrez through an external mix, single action airbrush, not much cleanup that way. The airbrush I use is a Harbor Freight Chinese clone/copy/forgery of the Badger 350. https://www.badgerairbrush.com/Badger_350.asp Had I know at the time that that was the case, I would not have purchased it. I don't look favorably upon such practices. The Paasche H would be another good airbrush for Stynlrez. https://www.paascheairbrush.com/H3L I can see how trying to spray that through an internal mix airbrush would be a nightmare to clean! You do NOT want that stuff to dry in the airbrush! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 After 5 rounds of Ultimate Extra strong softener. Now I'll need to get a clear coat on this and make a start on with the various underside doors and get them painted for the weathering stages. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, There were a lot of lumps and bumps to settle over. I've popped the wings off as idiot features here had forgotten to paint the insignia Red on the exhaust collectors. All masked up and ready for paint now. Cheers, Alistair 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon, They are Cartograf so I knew I'd get them down eventually it was just a matter of how long. Colourcoats Insignia red sprayed and the unmasked. I'll take that.

bigbadbadge Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The cowels look great with the red rings added. The tail decals look ace, you're more patient than me, I would be sticking a pin into those bits and even have sliced those sort of bubbles with a sharp blade before. 🙄 Great work Alistair.

Thanks Simon, The Infini cutting board makes life a bit easier on occasions like these. I just cut a thin strip of tape to get round the shape and then normal tape fills in the rest.

AliGauld Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Not a lot done. Today I sprayed a clear coat to protect everything and should be able to start some weathering and chipping tomorrow. The various doors and flaps have been painted. The outer flaps still require some post shading and the whits painted on. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
