jazzythumper Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Well i've decided to abandon the Triumph for a bit and have started work on a Mitsubishi Zero, here are a few pictures of the progress so far, it's the first model I will have built for over 10 years so hopefully it'll go ok, not sure how to tackle the canopy in this model, masking it could be a nightmare and doing it freehand will be too tricky. Let me know what you think of my progress so far! Apologies for the poor picture quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilfish Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've finished mine. It's not a bad little kit, ideal for first timers! Unfortunately, because of all those rivets and the matt paint, you'll probably have as much trouble as I did to get the decals to stay on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Black Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 all those rivets and the matt paint, you'll probably have as much trouble as I did to get the decals to stay on! Yup. I was playing the "matt paint vs decals with no chemical assistance" game last night. Once they're in-place, you need to go over them with a damp brush (damp with water, of course) - then they seem to not be too bad. How long they will stay there, of course, remains to be seen.....

About 0.37 secs........ Mine were peeling off before they were even dry! Even with my cheat, they still aren't that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
