Roger that, looking forward to it, but no rush, I'm not going anywhere.

Looks excellent Chris. That cammo job is great, I'd leave the green alone if it were me. It looks good, and the paint was never ever dead on accurate in real life anyway, especially when you consider weathering, repainting, field mixing and whatnot. A product called Goo Gone will take that residue off without harming the Future or the paint. You can get it at the supermarket. I'm going to have to get a digital camera when I get my tax money in. Jeez, it's starting to sound like it's already spent and I haven't even gotten it yet. Ah well, it's supposed to be good for the economy.

Looks good to me !
If you use alcohol to remove the residue, it will also remove the Future (if you dipped the canopy)
For consistency, you may want to think about post shading the decals, too (possibly with pastels). Fresh, clean markings may not blend in as well.

Keep up the good work !

Your postshading looks good, saltydog. Thumbs Up [tup]

As for the residue, if you used enamels, have you tried swabbing rubbing alchohol on the canopy? I'm not sure with water based paints; windex?

Regards, Dan

Ok, heres another batch along with some questions.

Posted by saltydog on Monday, January 26, 2004 10:45 PM

this is a 1/48 raf mustang from tamiya. obviously, this model is not finished. here are the steps for the painting. i laid a base coat of tamiya flat black. then, i mixed the raf colors from tamiya acrylic. applied "my" version of ocean gray, sprayed the green, then postshaded. im not particularly happy with the shade of green, so ive put the project on hold until i gain the motivation to tweak the green again. there has been no wash done on this model and i dont plan to. this is my first try at preshading(mostly done on the bottom of the aircraft) and postshading. what do you think about the post shading? is it overdone? i love the subtlety and control of the postshading over the wash(plus, i just love using my omni 5000), what can i use to get the residue from the window mask off the canopy without damaging the paint job. i used bare metal foil for the first time for mask. i didnt know it would leave a residue. guess ill have to stick with the tamiya masking tape as well.
