Starting up again and experimenting with a couple of products I recently discovered



First time using Mr. Surface 1500 black primer, looking good


And first time using Mr. Masking sol neo, a liquid masking solution, just peel off when finished painting.

oh boy!!! love this kit. it keeps begging me to be built. the primer looks great. please let us know how that masking fluid works! especially once it's applied ON top of a coat of normal paint...

 

[THE NEW ONE]

my worry with placing liquid mask on paint, is one the removal of the mask paint will come with it. Best of luck

Once the liquid mask is dry, start painting, once the paint is dry, start peeling the mask off. I'd say it worked perfectly with zero dmg to the primer coat. The mask is water soluble, for stubborn part, just dip some water with cue-tip and wipe it off.


I missed a step here, should have made sure that the edge line was smooth when the mask was still drying, but it's not the fault of the liquid mask.

Looks nice and sharp, though

Those panels are really popping.

 

[jzsn]

Finished and somewhat satisfied with the result.

A little bit on the small size compared to other 1/48 especially the huge flankers.

 

[THE NEW ONE]

do you like migs?

 

[nicholassagan]

LOVELY finish. What aren't you happy about with it though?

 

[jzsn]

I think I may have mixed the wrong color of gray there for the darker patches, now it looks like a dotted milk-cow to me lol

 

[nicholassagan]

Nah, looks good.

 

[yanpol]

I agree with nicholassagan, this is a very nice build. I can't see any of the spots you are referring to.

 

[WebbyNZ]

Also looks good to me.

 

[Quaralane]

Fabulous results here, based on what I'm seeing

 

[smokeriderdon]

Looks good to me! Nice job!

That's a sweet collection of jets! Great work all around.
