Great job. Nice looking pilot just missed the red arrow on the helmet though lol. I am just starting to do this model myself looking at the amount of filler used it doesn’t look like the best of fits. Sorry to see the mess the varnish made. I would have been gutted after all that hard work. Thanks for sharing.
Ouch........... Too bad, Jason. I wonder, however, why you ever decided to put a clear coat on a beautiful glossy finish ...???!!! I have 60 year old models in my collection (given to me by my uncle) and those decals are still firmly attached to the models. I did notice that decals placed on matt paint do NOT adhere well and will - almost certainly - come off, after a couple of decades. You should NOT have worried and have taken the risk. Decals, especially modern ones, should stick very well to a glossy finish. Next time ( if you really have to/want to give it a gloss coat) give the paint several weeks, if not a few months to dry. Yes....THAT long. Enamel paint needs a looooooooong time to fully harden and to get rid of the chemicals that might react to other solvents. Personally, I would never put another layer over such a nice glossy finish. Even if the decals are less glossy than the model. "It's only a plastic model", is my way of thinking. Apart from the damage, it's a very nice model ! Well done.
Hm, one might still want to apply an overall coat of clear 'to erase ' the edges of the decals and make them look as if they are painted on. Hey, Jason makes the mistakes so that we don't have to ! :) And yes, it still is a lovely build.
I'm thinknig of getting this for a fun build but painting wise want to avoid enamels. How do you think a bright acrylic red with a gloss spray over the top would go to recreating glossy red effect? I mean we gloss coat anyway for the decals!
New to this hobby and picked this model as my first one (yet to start). Can you tell me - any reason you did not do a weathering wash on this? I am planning to go with supplied paints as this is the first time I am going to do this.
I don’t know how I’m going to pull this Off I have bought this set it’s my first and it comes in 2 days I don’t know how I’m going to do this it looks so hard
The putty he used was ... Deluxe Marerials Perfect Plastic Putty. It's pretty good stuff and is easily cleaned up with water enabling little or no sanding.
Well done mate I love the stand keep up the good work pal your a good modeller
Brilliant work mate I like the pilots I might use them as 2 red devils for my BN_2N islander sitting on the exit door frame keep up the good work mate

Lovely build. Yes, lacquer over enamels tend to cause issues.
Fantastic work. That super glossy red has cone out brilliant. Some great paint work on the pilot too

That nose wheel panel was a tight fit

These are show birds so don’t get dirty, best to leave off a grime wash and just highlight a few panels.
