Cuajete
Me too.

Gordon Sørensen
Used Model Master Aluminum Plate for the NMF. Didn't turn out bad.... Need to touch up the paint in the cockpit

Alec K
Looks great Gordon. What did you buff it with (or is that as sprayed)?

Gordon Sørensen
Sprayed straight out of the can. Just used an old cotton facecloth to buff it. Gives a nice metallic look.

Alec K
👍

Tried to mask for the anti-glare shied, but the tape just pulled up some of the silver paint. Ended up doing it freehand...

Clifford Keesler
Gordon, try putting the tape on your hand a couple of times, it lessens the tackiness of the tape, and usually won't pull the paint off. I seal my NMF finishes between masking different shades, so the tape does not pull the paint off. The Spit is looking nice.

Gordon Sørensen
Yes, I should have put a coat of Klear on it first. Or better yet, painted the anti-glare first and masked that off before I sprayed the Aluminum Plate.....

Gordon Sørensen
Ever have one of those days?
Was going to start the decalling. Well, the Klear and Silver react to each other...
Was going to start with the roundels, but something didn't look right.... Realized the kit came with clipped wingtips and the vesion I want to do has the full wing.... Out with the razor saw...

Alec K
Ugh. I admire your calm 👍 😄

Gordon Sørensen
Finally ready for decalling...

Gordon Sørensen
After the problems I had with the Klear, nice to find that Micro-Sol isn't attacking the NMF...

Alec K
Nice job. The wingtip "plastic surgery" turned out great 👍

Ekki
Fab job.

Cuajete
Looking good.

Clifford Keesler
Agree, Looking very nice.

Gordon Sørensen
