| Howdy Guys,
This is a 1:48 scale model by RODEN, I am not sure if its a re issue, the box makes no mention of it.
As for the fogging, thanks for the tips, I usually use a clean brush with clean testors thinner on it to remove any fogging and it also works on small "flecks" of paint that inadvertantly get on a model either thru overspray, fingers with paint on them or misplaced brush strokes lol. I could just use abit of paint to touch up any "flecks" on a paint job, but I have found that sometimes the "fleck" will mix with the touch up paint and you end up with a color that is a different shade even if you are "dabbing" the touch up paint on the model.
An exacto knife can sometimes be used to "scrape" the fleck of unwanted paint from a model too, but this should only be used on "specks or flecks" of paint and not on large ares of paint.
As for the B&W photo, I have found that not only does it add abit or realism, but its also great for hiding small mistakes. It makes things like fogging a little less noticible.
Thanks for the kind words, once I finish this model, I am off to work on a Gloster Javelin and then back to work on my Handley Page Victor, in "desert storm" sand color and then a Panavia Tornado to go with it as part of a diaroma of the Victor Refueling the Tornado (I hope). That Victor is a very large model.
Anyway, thank you all for the kind words and I will get a better photo of the completed Gladiator as soon as I finish.
Have a good day,
