Group build "Charlie don't surf"
Vietnam - UH-1C Huey

Scale:
1:35
Status:
In progress
Started:
July 2, 2012

This is not, what I usually build (if I build something), but I got to do something different.

So I join the Vietnam group-build started through Holger Kranich's request what to build next, to put some pressure on me to get forward, but don't expect too much. I'm a slow builder and have to put some projects on hold and clean up my workspace first. Wish me luck to keep the pace!

Just to get started with that project - here are the instructions and decals of the kit! Honestly I'm a bit afraid of placing the shark-mouth decals, since I heard, that it might be a bit troublesome. Well, that's a challenge to take...

Plenty of Micro-sol & set don't touch it, utillize the wifes hairdrier...

Thanks for the hint, Steve. My next order should include Micro-sol & set.

Decal technology is improving, Microscale is the forerunner in that department, often copied, never equaled!!!...

But dont use the maskingfluid, i had some very bad experiance with it!

Holger I've still got a few bottles of Humbrol's maskol on my bench, haven't got around to using Microscales version. Thanks for the tip, never had a problem with me trusty Maskol!!!...

If Micromask is applyed over a long term, it torns apart whilst demasking... It took myself 3 hours to remove it from a windshield of a quarterscale Do-335!

Now i use the Revellstuff and it works great for me. It seems to be similar to Humbrolmaskol.

One of the things I particularly like about Maskol is on delicate areas you can paint it on really thin, see-through even and it still works really well...
