Country:  | Terry, if the gap is a bit bigger than normal place a small piece of plasticard on the inside of one of the parts as a backing, same principle as fixing a hole in a wall for plastering, then you can fill it without it giving way.
I'm sure you have probably already thought of this anyway....might come in handy for someone else though.
...and I hope to do the Red band later today or tomorrow.....when doing Yellow's, Red's White's I like to leave them 3-4 days before masking them.

Country:  | Thanks, Wayne, and you're right, I do this. It's just for those really awkward, hard to access joints that you come across now and then. It can be a bit more difficult when my hands don't work properly! But, as you said, someone else will benefit from the knowledge of the Jedi Master, as Rochie calls you!!!(Giggles uncontrolably!) |

Country: | Erich, hoping to get some paint on this coming weekend......
Took some comparison pics of some props today....
Left is the Eduard A/F-9 Prop, middle the Trimaster/Dragon andLeft Hasegawa A-8....
Check against the Kagero 190 book props that were illustrated in 1/48 and the T/D appears the more accurate, while the Eduard seems about 1.5mm too long?

Country:  | Looking excellent, Wayne. Another question for you superglue fans, is there any trick to preventing the superglue from drying up and setting once opened? Only thing that I can come up with is build more models more often.

Country:  | wayne , why did you paint the bands first rather than paint them over the camo paint scheme ?

Country: | Matt, I often have the same problem with Superglue. I've started using the stuff in small bottles, with a nozzle, rather than using tubes. Keep replacing the cap and, if the glue hardens around the nozzle, cut it off with a scalpel. Doesn't cure the problem, but helps. | |

If done later they can build up against your masking tape and create a step in the paint that is not easily removed.
Also much less masking required, you then need much more to cover the rest of the model to prevent overspray if done later....
