My thoughts exactly. High humidity and temps outside can wreck havoc with a rattlecan. Did you spray outside? Primer wouldn't be a factor for the bubbling/orange peel.
We get humidity in NY during summer months. If I need to spray outside with a rattlecan, I'll do it early morning or wait til it cools down at night; if possible.
My advice would be spray in several light coats instead of two - at least four would have been suffice if possible. Maybe three at best.

Thanks BS214. I did spray outside. I think I will try your recommendation of spraying in the morning.

Looking good. Shame about the fiasco with the Tamiya spray can
I did have something like that happen to me once when using AS-20
I chalked it up to putting on a bit to thick of a coat over some primer that might not have fully dried. I forget which primer I used at the time, but it was not the normal Army Painter one I typically used since I wanted a different primer color for that particular thing. The AS-20 would up cracking in places
Never had problems before or since using AS-20, but I also did not use that primer/base coat again either, nor did I spray it as thick

Yes. A bit more sanding is needed.

That's alot of great detail, looking sweet. PM
I have a feeling those extra propellers aren't extra. One set is for when it's parked the others when you're flying. Variable pitch propellers. I might be wrong but it sounds good to me

That's why they had the crawl tunnel from the flight deck to the rear deck.My dad says on one mission a guy fell out of the bomb doors, gone.
