Thanks Richard:
I don't see any glue now but also was pretty tidey on this plane: It really does look like it attacked only certain areas though. The wing root is a little suspicious because I had not applied any glue-plastaweld\Tennex yet due to some issues with the gaps.
That just goes to show that some good can come out of even the worst model...albeit I am sure the posted dioramas were intended to look the way they do. Thats not to say that a person couldnt make a "model with severe problems" look great in a diorama because as we have seen by the examples above, a person can make any model look good with a little imagination.
Well:
I did not give up on this one!!!! I just took a few days off, showed my now 4 month old son the box again and let him decide. When his eyes lit up and that smile appeared, I just said screw it-I'll fill, sand and sweat the best I can and hang it from the ceiling. I loved the way it came out due to a couple of reasons. I've never built a RAF fighter before and needed to free hand airbrush the camouflage. BUT, the &%^& decals silvered! I used several microscale gloss coats, placed them in the curing room and still they silvered. I have had great results using MM gloss instead of future or acrylic so I should have stayed with these. Oh well, I love the help and recommendations I received here. Thanks to all for your encouragement.
Thanks Bunkerbarge...... I just used the old burnt umber MM enamel thinned with spirits, let dry and lightly rub off with a dampened paper towel of spirits. Its a trick a learned here
