You can use Flory washes Colin, what more do you wantMud covered defects are so underrated, I wish I could utilise mud more often.

Cheers pal, only given in once on a model and that was because something fell on it.Fight the good fight Mick.
Seams.... Hmmm, that's what put me off building planes all those years ago ..... Luckily mind,since my return to them recently,in 1/48, I've not really had an issue with them...
.... not much of a help to you.....
..... but it makes me feel better!!
Good stuff though mate, you'll crack it and get a great result in the end I'm sure.
We all love a good fight, don't we???Sounds like one of the problems I had with that awful Revell Mosquito.

I do have an armour project in the wings but not just yetGood luck with this Mick only reinforces why I pull wingy boxes from the stash the put em back again. Just for now I'll stick with the mud covered defects. Dave
I like your thinking Colin, there's a bottle of Flory wash on standbyMud covered defects are so underrated, I wish I could utilise mud more often.
I just put one of the doors on mine and it fitTaking shape mate.
I really think it’s time these old soldiers were retired. You are making a great job of them Mick, but it must be a real struggle.Not the shape they almost ended up in. I need to put these to bed soon, move onto something that’s not old Airfix
Thanks Tim, I think I’ve been spoilt with most of the kits I’ve built, but I agree on retirementI really think it’s time these old soldiers were retired. You are making a great job of them Mick, but it must be a real struggle.
Well Mick,Somehow these two made to undercoat even after dropping one they would seriously try the patience of a saint but on the plus side the side windows fit nicely and the masks I got from Poland are really good. Now for some decent weather and the gods of airbrushing to smile and off we go with top coats.

Don’t write them off out of hand Mark. The more recent stuff is excellent. The Katy ambulance I’m building, for example, is as good a kit as anyones. The only issues are of my own making….The Spitfire I made for the recent group build was much better than the Tamiya mosquito that was my next build, yet Tamiya are supposedly the gold standard…..
