Thank you!
Right now I´m struggling with the masking of the canopy. I took Vallejo´s Liquid mask for it, which is a good thing,
but, only after a minute of spreading it, it becomes so sticky that I lift off the masking again, when I hit the canopy again
with the brush, wanting to cover the bordering parts....
I think the only solution to this is: masking tape, or patience:
liquimasking as much area as possible, before it gets sticky, then to wait at least an hour, til the stickiness subsides,
then to cover the next area, wait again, and so on....
Elevators are on now, but they are one of the letdowns of the kit: waaay too thick, to make them look realistic, you could sand 1/2 of the material down!
well, I sanded about 1/3 off the plastic, now they fit more to the wings, plastic is a little brittle,
I didn´t want to risk a cracking, that´s why I stopped here...
(the very ends of the elev. have broken...
)
The photo shows, what happens, when impatient people like me try their hands on plastic models!
Deep scratches in the plastic from using a rough file, to sand more quicker!
Well, I tried to even it a bit with sandpaper, but now it´s enough, I leave it as it´s seen in the pic.
tomorrow I hope it´s prime time
Waiting for the day, when wars for territory will be something to be read about in history books only.
