Things started out great tonight. Date night with the wife, finally got to try a donut from Gourdough's (the Flying Pig, topped with bacon and maple icing!), toddler went to bed without incident, so I got an early start masking the Yak...

Once again, the WEM enamels (this time AMT-12 Soviet Dark Grey) sprayed amazingly well.

Of course, this being a Doogs build, SOMETHING has to go catastrophically wrong...

You know how play-doh picks up other play-doh? Yeah, not this time.
After much swearing, and various attempts to remove the play-doh (rubbing kinda worked, goo-gone ate through the enamel), the stuff started to harden. I couldn't get it off. I started wet sanding and that worked, but then I noticed that the play-doh softened under water, so I just started brushing on water and wiping up with paper towels. Finally managed to get oh, 95% of it off.
Took up the airbrush again and just freehanded the camo outlines.

Suffice to say, I will NOT be using play-doh to mask the La-5.
