That does the job Andy. I would have gone the paint route as well. And good luck with the health I know the thoughts are with all our friends here who have problems
Great recovery Andy , something I’ve done in the past although in my case it wasn’t silvering it was the fact the aircraft was brilliant gloss white and the decals were old and the carrier film had yellowed. The old Airfix shorts skyvan in Olympic airlines livery , had to paint around all the lettering - very tricky ! Are you going to mask and paint the walkway lines or just leave as is ? Cheers tony
I think I'll be doing the lines Tony. I wanted to wait and see how the markings turned out first, and since they are a success I'll get back to the other things.
Have a break, then come back to them tomorrow and assess what needs doing. Both look recoverable to me. In between time, don’t handle anything else fragile......you’re on a roll at the moment, so try to break the streak!
I looked at the Lancaster and thought, “Something doesn’t look right, but what?” and only then did it dawn on me it only had one engine. Then I noticed the bare plastic where the second one should be
As for the Fw 190: that looks like the decal is just coloured bands around the fuselage, right? At least that’s pretty much the easiest kind of decal to paint on instead, so it should be fixable if you can mask it without damaging the Balkenkreuz.
