Kerry COX
Detail, detail, how I love to see, DETAIL. Just wonderful and obviously , a lot of care has been applied here too. WELL DONE 🙂

Andreas Lundqvist
Thanks mate's.
Yes, a little extra work and picture/fact hunting done to this, but that is just fun and educational 🙂
This one was ment for a contest build last Easter. But I didn't get it done in time. Didn't want to rush it.

Kerry COX
What decal are you using, ? (Nationality)

Andreas Lundqvist
Hi. I´m going to use Microscale´s decals for "Killer", and some from the original box. Other decals, like the stips, will be painted instead.
"Killer" was American.

Edgars Bizūns
Awesome! Can't wait to see whole thing!

Es-haq Khosravi

Nice. What silver paint used?

Andreas Lundqvist
Thanks Szilárd.
I´ve used M.M buffable metalizer "Aluminum plate " as base and Tamiya "Titanium Gold" on the wings.

Kerry COX
I was looking at the history of "Killer" and he notched up quite a tally hey ! and It looks like you have a winner too mate. "Gold" you might say 🙂

Great NMF Andreas, you've did a fine job on the "Killer"

Gerald
Top work 👍

Andreas Lundqvist
Thanks mates 🙂

Andreas Lundqvist
I´m sad... the dacals was ruined in the last step, when I masked and layed the matt coat on... after all this work on this kit, and in the end it was ruined 🙁

Andreas Lundqvist
Well, now putting that behind me, and goes for a new year of building and fun. 🙂

Es-haq Khosravi
That was really great Andreas! Very sad for what happened to it, but I appreciate your great moral! 🙂

Andreas Lundqvist
well sometimes shit happens, but it's not the end of the world.
👍

Beautyful Mustang ! I wish my future metal will look like this !

Andreas Lundqvist
Thanks. I´m pleased with the metal look on this one. It´s my first atemt with bare metal. Was little worried about the outcome, but it turned out OK. So it will be more projekt later on with bare metal. 🙂

Kerry COX
What was it you used to "Mask" that caused all these problems ?

Andreas Lundqvist
Tamiya... and first untackt it... first time it happend with tamiya. Unluckely.

Andreas Lundqvist
Maby get at new cheat decals sometime and redo the one that's worse.

Andreas Lundqvist
First I tough to only do the green hood dull, but wanted to bring the bare metal finish and masked the invasion strips and insignias for matt finish.. now in the visdom off this result, I would have left thas the way it was 🙂

Kerry COX
Have you ever used "Parafilm" as it does not "stick" to anything and will NOT pull paint, decals or anything away from your model.

Andreas Lundqvist
Now never. Usually I use cling film+tamiya. But not this time unfortunately . Learning by error is a prase to use😉

Kerry COX
I use nothing else now, as I had the same drama you are encountering now. Loosing all that hard work because of masking tape being so 'sticky' it lifted everything off and it broke my heart.

Andreas Lundqvist
Thanks for the tip, going to lock for Parafilm.
