Thank you sir. Finished painting the strips and will clear coat tomorrow and start putting decals on the fuselage. Then it's the lil bits and done

Good work so far George!

Getting better all the time.

 

[Wayne Little]

Sure is..!

Well.......this sucks.

That my friends is water reacting to Mr. Mark setting solution. The decal hung on for dear life once I placed it so, as my wont, I flooded the area with water, and more water and more water. It took close to 5 minutes for the decal to start to move. In the mean time the decal sustained some damage. Note the roundel reacted in a similar fashion and the same method was used without the staining. I'm going to let this sit for a bit. It's happened before and I think I just brushed some setting solution around the stain and it totally disappeared

Shame... wouldn't be possible to clean that white deposit with water or vodka ( spirit ) and a Q-tip?

 

[fubar57]

Closer. I added some more setting solution.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

Love it Geo, must add some FAA birds to the stash

 

[Crimea_River]

Something not right when decals and setting solution act like that but glad it seem to be under control.

 

[Wayne Little]

Glad you saved it...

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. To be on the safe side, I just used water to transfer the decals and then gently brushed on solution after. Seems to work.

Love it Geo, must add some FAA birds to the stash

You must Karl, you must !!

Nice build Geo but Gawd that planes back is broken before it leaves the deck

That staining happens to me a lot wile using Solv-Set. And also sometimes the Micro setting solutions. Its a reaction with the Future. I get rid of it my carefully swabbing the area with a Windex soaked Q-tip after the decal has sat for a bit, swabbing from the decal out. It removes the future but its a simple matter to brush some more on which also seals the decal.

 

[fubar57]

Good to remember Glenn. Doing the final decals and then going to work at cutting the rockets off the stubs. THIS WILL GET FINISHED!!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Beautiful job so far.

 

[Capt. Vick]

At-a-boy!

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far George!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks gents. Just need to get the serial numbers on and the deecals are done. A test fit of the prop spinner show a very tight fit. The props themselves have flash and sink holes so I've just applied a coat of Hole-B-Gone®...
