Cockpits looking good, Guillaume. I'm in.

Thank you Mark, the oil paint have done wonder with this cockpit.

Dave
I agree with mark, the cockpit looks good.

Guillaume Blanchet Autor
Thank you Dave! I like how those "old" monogram kits packs details. They are always a nice surprise and very fun to detail.

I think Tamiya recommends removing the masking tape as soon as the paint becomes "touch" dry, i.e. a few minutes after applying the paint.

Guillaume Blanchet Autor
Thank you for the nice comment Nickfrost and for thank to George for the tips.

I have developed my painting method by doing a lot of mat WW2 airplanes. On a mat plane I can leave masking type for month without any problems. It seem that gloss paint is more sensible on the finish side. I might also have over sprayed since the white was not have a great opacity. That created (I think) a situation were the paint not fully cure when I applied the masking tape.

Now I apply one coat in a particular area and remove the masking tape within the hour. After I wait at least 5 days to leave plenty of time for the paint to dry.

Thank you Alessandro, Mark, Rich Robert !

@Denis, Thank you too! Your project looks great, I hope mine going too turn out as good as yours. I tought about buying the "smoke rings" decals but wanted to keep the project on a low budget. Turns out I now need to print (or buy) decals to finish the project since my decals were completely destroying themselves upon application. I did manage to apply the colored fasces and the wasp insignia, but is it.

Nice work so far, which kit and scale is it?

Mark Sherwood
Psychedelic Man. That's some Camo' work Guillaume. 🤟🥸🤘

Guillaume Blanchet Autor
Quite psychedelic'in deed. It was easy to get lost in the pattern after 10min of painting. I ended up loosing a lot of my pre-shading due to the huge amount of touch up I neede to do. The oil paint will take care of it.

Mark Sherwood
A well turned out P40 Guillaume. 🤘🥸🤟

Hurri' over a Spit' anyday. Excellent representation of a MK1.

Guillaume Blanchet Autor
Many thanks Mark! I'm more on the Spit side for looks, but the Hurri is quite a fun build with it's space frame and fabric exterior.

Thank Guy, I got to finish the kit this week by adding the antenna radio wire. I'm happy with the result although there the resin seem to have reacted with the paint. There was some stains that seeped trough the paint.

Guy Rump
Beautiful build Guillaume, congrats! 👍

Nathan Dempsey
I really liked the Eduard kit. A nice low stress build. I still have a Hasegawa Night Hellcat to build at some point.

Mark Sherwood
👍Spot on Guillaume, a nice kitty cat. 🤟🥸🤘
