Just a Thank You to all that helped.
Wanted to thank all who helped me and responded to my many questions during my construction of a 1:32 Spitfire mk.I. Thanks to you, I tried new techniques that really made a difference in the end. I tried masking and two-tone color, a new technique for masking and polishing the canopy (canopy came out like a pro - I can't believe it), and of course the greatest tip of all -- Future floor polish. In the end it came out really nice, better than I have ever done before. The only real problems I had were applying some of the small delicate decals (that I just left off), and I have a slight separation between where the wing meets the fuselage. The parts just didn't fit that well and instead of trying to take apart and re-glue, I just left it (a little battle scar!).
Again - thanks to all and I look forward to my next model and learning some more advanced techniques.
Regards to all,
Paul
