Mike/TB379– F84 looks good!
Dobby – I am late to the response party, but add another vote to stripping enamel paint with thinner (NOT lacquer) and Q-tips. Lacquer will eat the plastic (been there done that lol). In terms of “lint”, it pays to use the good cotton swabs (Qtips) and not the cheap generics, which seem to shed lint by just looking at them.
Lancair IV – Very nice job on the P-51, looks great! I also see now that the “seam” I saw before was the shadow cast by the light coming from above… oh well, sorry!
Rob – P47D pit looks great; I think you nailed the belts, very well done!
Stikpusher - F-84E looks great, I like the effect of the different Alum shades.
Julez – I brush my Future on, using a wide stiff brush. Never had an issue with peeling paint, etc… but I usually let dry/cure for 2-3 days. Great “stable” by the way, as I said before, no such thing as too many mustangs! ;)
Kermit – Look forward to your build, have that one in my stash… I swore off Revell P51Ds after this build, notwithstanding Michaels’ 50% coupons, which lets me grab a P51D for 8$. The pit detail is just so much better in the Tamigawas. PS – 12’oclock still a great movie to this date!
I will post some pics next couple days… nothing but cleaning up the LG, putting the props together, and filling in some sink holes (*yawn*). Will work on pit this weekend I hope.
cheers
