Help me if you would....
Hi guys, I have never visited this part of the forum this much. I have been on the FSM forum for over a year now and have made about 90% of my posts in the Aircraft section.
I have several issues. I am working on a pair of Hasegawa 1/48 Hornets, and I need some advice for the outside painting.
Ok here it goes. I am starting with a NMF, because there are several areas that need it and I am working on trying to use it as a base coat until I learn it right. I plan to paint the NMF in the next week or two, I have one almost ready for that and the other is just getting started as of today.
My next step is going to be a way to emphasize panel lines. I have yet to decide what to do for that. In betweent though I am going to do a coat of future. Now the last time I sprayed future it came out weird. It sort of looks like a bunch of glossy polka-dots. How do I avoid this?
After the lines are done I am going to reseal it and then apply the first of two colors.
How much time should I let each color and the future dry?
How many coats of future do I need and how do I properly spray it?
Do I need to thin it all?
And lastly, I heard years ago that Testors Dull coat and Gloss Coat can yellow with age. Can you give me a better dull Coat. I read about one years ago and forgot which one it was. Can anyone lead me in the right directions? Thanks.
