well rescued and sometimes it takes the build to be nearly done to spot a mistake,or something like undercarriage not sitting right to be spotted.so i say awesomely done
- ooo, I hear ya buddy! That feels very typical of me.Can't wait to see the finished thingThats typical of me.Doing the research when the models nearly finished.
I didn't try the orange before as I wanted a proper gold finish.But this will do as I want to get the model finished\ said:That tint looks really effective, and to think you already had the paint all the time.
I've learned my lesson in that respect Colin.Ive ruined a few models by rushing and not thinking about things when I'm nearing the end of a build.Thats why I'm taking my time finishing this one off.\ said:I think the orange is spot on Dave. Thank heavens you tested the gold stuff first. That's the sort of thing I might forget to do !
Just a bit of safety info.\ said:I've just tried giving the canopies a gold tint.First I sprayed the Mr Clear Color gold thinned wth cellulose thinners.I had a feeling this might attack the plastic and tried it out on an old spitfire canopy first.Sure enough it reacted with the plastic.So the two week wait for the gold to come from Taiwan was a waste of time.Luckily it was cheap.Next I tried some Tamiya clear orange that ive had for years.Thinned it with some Tamiya thinner and tried it on a test piece.Quite pleased with it so I took the plunge and sprayed it on the kits canopies.
