Ooopsy!
Not bad at all, a little drybrushing with light grey and it will improve considerably!

Been getting a little done each night. Got the fuselage together and the engines as working on the gear. The Gear is the SAC 48105 for the JU-88 Dragon/DML/Rev/ProModeler. As this is a white metal gear mating to plastic I am using "Gorilla Glue" It foams up when it is drying and that has to be cleaned up but it does a pretty good job holding the white metal together. I find I have more problems with super glue then this. The foam pulles off and some time I will use a CA to help as well. The engine pods were a breeze and not much to the fuselage. I had an issue with he fit of the cockpit as the left side and right side of the CMK were too wide at one point in the back. took quite a bit of sanding on the aft two half's to make it fit. Othere thin this the kit is fitting like a good kit should.

Couple of ways to avoid that. Use if a good primer and remove the tack from the tape by pressing the sticky side in you hand once or twice before applying to the model.

Thanks Andy, I think you gave me that advise before but it slipped me today working on it. Beanner to me I guess, I'll try it on the next mask of it. Couple more to get it done then the RLM 65 underside and the mask got the yellow bands and then the mask of the bands to whites out, fun, just fun.

Another tip Don, is that the white band would be easier to paint first, then mask off and paint the greens. Generally it's best to paint from lighter shades to darkest.

I think those little imperfections like correcting tape lift-off, actually add to the model by adding some realistic imperfection. At least that's how I look at it... helps to approach these things with a positive mindset!

I was wondering about any peeling issues with the Vallejos. I still want to move to acrylics, I just need to learn of all the new issues and challenges with acrylics. Andy, your comments are noted.
Looking nice, Don. Real nice.
I learned years ago to lay the paint down in this order:
1) Any stripes (fuse band, white part of invasion stripes, etc)
2) Final colors lighter first, subsequent darker sides and so on.
3) weathering
4) gloss coat
5) decals
6) Final weathering
7) flat coat
