Nice tip/technique.  Got that kit in the stash along with the Classic Airframe Mk1, thought about merging them together......that is until I saw the CA is fabric wing.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

On the Tarmac: 1/48 Revell P-38

In the Hanger: A bunch of kits

Lots of decal set, in many coats. I used the Model Master stuff (it smells like vinegar).  I left it to soak for 3 minutes at a time and used a Q-tip as a squeegie to push them down.  The port side looks better than the starboard.  I also took the photos from an angle that reduced the silver effect.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Very nice build, indeed! Congratulations!

How did you cope with decals? I had a problem with silvering.

Cdn Colin - I should say, you've done your ejector chutes much better than I did!

I'm looking forward to see another (it means yours' :)) great Hurricane on FSM forum!

Thanks for the kind words, all.  I can make the file I used available IF I can figure out the PM thing.

Finish won't be nearly as good as Aleksander's, but here's how I did the ejection chutes.

I found a drawing online and blew it up to size I needed on Publisher.  I cut out the printout and taped it over the corresponding panel.  Then I ran a brand new blade over the paper lines.  After that I took off the template and completed the cuts.  Took a while, but I enjoyed it.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.
