What kind of the masking tape did you used? What brand of the chrome and grey colours? What putty?
OK. So you used the blue tape for painters didn't you. You need the Tamiya masking tape that is dedicated for modelling. The difference is the adhesive that is not so strong as the one of the blue tape. . As a putty I can recommend the Tamiya White Putty. For sanding you need sandpaper of two grades.The first one 800-900 and the second one of 1100-1200 for finishing.
Judging by your wards you followed the incorrect way for preparation and painting process. Also you shouldn't use the rustolium chrome metallic and the grey primer. The paints are offered as a spray in cans. Am I right? These may be good for cars but not models IMHO.
Looking at you IP I see you come from the USA right? If you do there shouldn't be any troble to find an online shop around. What is your area- town,if I may ask of course?
Ok thank youOK... threa are two ways to fix the model. The first one is to wash off the entire paint and the primer from the model. That's quite time consuming way but IMHO that's the best one. The second way I, would suggest , is to sand the model surfaces slightly with the fine sand paper in order to get it matt and smouth.. I mean the one of 1100-1200 grade to remove all these imperfections on there. If you need to use the putty to fill these gaps at the wing roots that's the moment..It seems you don't need to sand the entire model but the wing tops with the fuselage area with the grey only . When sanding is done the model has to be washed up with a soap and warm water to remove the dust and other crumbs. Then re-apply the grey colour. Instead of the rost olium paints I would suggest the Testors Spary cans. But if you want you may stay with these rust olium ones. The grey should be applied on the wing tops in the way it should cover the all wing surface from the leading edge to the trailing one. When cured you have to mask the grey areas there with the Tamiya tape. Having that done you may re-apply the chrome paint but with really very thin layer.. The masking should be removed carefully as soon as you paint the chrome. The reason you failed for the first attempt , is the thickness of the coat and the paint itself.
Hello . You sent me a message about taking the paint off my plane. But I can't read the entire thing .Its not posted on website. It just came to my email . Weird
Ok thank you
YesHumm.. strange.. how about now? Can you see my post fully? The quotation in your post seems to be fine and the whole text is quoted.
Why yes it would ! Lol .I didn't think of it like that .I watched a guy on YouTube it looked like he sprayed it all first then the grey. Also .About liquid masking. I used clear elmers glue via toothpick and worked great. Took allot of time though .I then tried to use it on my exhausts cause I glued them on before painting .I did this cause a suck at glueing and didn't wanna mess up my paint. Well.... It kinda pedaled off but not really...ended up scratching the exhaust paint. Now they gotta be repainted. I can't find good liquid masking anywhere around here so was gonna order some online but Idk. I'm very low on funds since I'm not working right now . I'll just stick to the tape and just use the glue for the clear parts .I also just ordered the crawling on revell site .Thanks for suggestion .That's gonna take awhile to come in .On meantime though I'll resume to try my repairs. Thank you so muchOK. However it may be a trouble to remove the rustoilum paint. Usually modellers use different types of painteededs and their removing is more easier. Therefore I suggested the soft sanding. Using the way you don't need to sand down to the bare plastic. Just to make the coat matt and smooth without these imperfections. The kind of colours have to be sprayed with very thin layer. I would say sputtered only. This results in not peeling off. What is more the primer isn't needed. It is enough to wash a model up with the warm water and a dishwashing liquid for instance. This removes the dust , fingerprints etc... Instead of the primer you could spray the grey colour overall and then mask these needed grey areas with the masking tape and then apply the chrome coat. The way would let you save one or more layers of paint wouldn't it?
