shame Paul, was looking so good

Said "screw it" and broke out the hairy stick.

Not my finest hour, but I want this one done.
A coat of future and some decals, hopefully it will be O.K.

Damn me if that paint peel is the pits Paul.

Never had the issue with MM myself but as a precaution after the finish of applying a colour I always give it a spray with the old floor liquid polish, not Future, that's too precious in this neck of the woods, so I use a type that I have found to have quite a dull finish. I usually let this dry for 24 hours in warmer weather or longer in winter before doing any masking.

Thanks, old man!

I always place the swastika insignia first.
Something for my grandmother.

seem to have recovered rather well Paul

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks like you're back on track!

Good stuff...

 

[Wurger]

With all here Paul.

 

[Catch22]

Nice going Paul!

 

[Airframes]

great stuff Paul, and the colours look right now too. And those 'thingies' are pop bottles over this side of the Pond - soda is what goes in whisky, or for baking!

 

[T Bolt]

Nice recovery Paul. I didn't think you were gonna finish when I saw that peeling paint, but now it looks like you're well on your way.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yeah, but it is going to look like crap due to the hairy stick. I am thinking of saving the "Scotty dog" decals for a different one down the line, and using some other markings.
One other thing, I fitted the prop and the spinner is way too small for the contours of the cowling. I know I was going to pull the cowling off, but it is sad, all the same.

 

[meatloaf109]

Here it is...

Sad, isn't it!
Looks like a clown nose!

 

[Crimea_River]

Recovered well Paul. Still not sure about that RLM 70 myself. Should be he same as the prop blades.

 

[meatloaf109]

Yeah, that's what I thought too! But that was what was on the bottle. What is wrong with the paint lately? When I was a kid, Black green was black green. I should stop counting on others to get it right, and just mix my own colors like I used to in the old days!

Mixed the prop blade color my own darned self!
Thanks!

 

[meatloaf109]

Seriously, the "RLM 70" or "71", whatever, that Model Master is calling it, is F***ing wrong.
Terry, I was sitting here all smug, secure in my MM coat, dismissing the Humbrol problems, when all of a sudden, "BAM", it is here also.
I feel your pain.

 

[N4521U]

So there ya go. Can't comment on the colors. Ignorance is bliss.

You're doing a cracker job onner tho.

 

[Airframes]

Looking at the last photo posted, it sure is wrong! Maybe MM paint is made in the same plant as the current Humbrol rubbish !!

 

[Rogi]

Looking good Paul, sometimes the paint just won't stick man!
