I've got the green on and am not happy as it looks too light It is out of a Mig spitfire set. I'll let you see soon as, as a wheel fell off and has been glued back on and is drying. Propellers are also black just a white edge to go round the red nose cone

Using this one now as a test piece for the big boy. Something I learned is bluetac sticks like S@@@

Ian it's always wise to leave the landing gear off till the last moment . But I guess you have realized that by now. A tip for the blue tack is this, don't try and pull it off. Try to slowly roll it up and if little bits get left behind, use a small piece of blue tack to pick the offenders off.

Gloss coat is now on and drying, how long do you leave yours before you start your decals? I want to crack on with them tonight? yes?

Ian even if it's acrylic, I'd wait until tomorrow fella. Acrylic can appear to be dry on the surface but it might still be tacky lower down, take it easy ole chap, you don't wanna rush it at this stage

I give it 24 hours to allow everything to cure up. The decal glue and any solvents can make the gloss coat unstable if it's not set up.

I agree Ian, she looks like a Spitfire now . Looks like you had to learn the hard way with the landing gear too eh ?
