Revell P61, waiting for the hammer to fall

[Eagle-1]

Ya done real good Pantherman!

Still fiddlin' with my arcade machine, but I'll be back shortly.

Well I'm done. Not a bad build but could do with some improvements if I ever build another one. Not as bad as all the reviews said or I'm just lucky getting an above average kit. Pantherman

Very nice.
I'm too embarrassed to reveal mine. It is a mess! Maybe later I'll try to fix it.

Pack of Black Cats ought to "fix" it.

Eventually I will.
However, I did mine in an olive drab green. Until or if I can fix these mistakes I'll show more.
Unfortunately, the window got really jackedup. I tried a masking technique that just did not work.
it was with foil and spray adhesive... nope that did not work. So this build was a guinea pig whoch turn out to just be a pig.

Liberal amounts of putty fixes anything......
Then come the Black Cats.

I don't know what makes you think it's going bad Mr. Gary? That chipping on purpose? If it is, it looks REAL good. If it ain't on purpose, don't touch it!

By the way, if you wanna re-do those windows, Superclean won't hurt the clear plastic at all and you can start over?

Thanks. I made the mistake of not using a chipping solution first- so I used the sea sponge and silver paint.

Also Easy Off oven cleaner gets paint off clear parts. Probably do a good job on the adhesive. And no damage to the plastic.

As for mine, I have had so much crap going on, I havent done much with it. Im lucky I got done what I did on the Phantom. Maybe later this week Ill be able to do something.

It's a glue smudge on the back canopy. The only solution I can come up with is sanding it with 2000+ sand paper. Also i would want to redo the chipping. But since it's not going to a competition, sooo, It's fine.
