Sorry to be a pest but can you explain more please.The satin surface will be rubbed down with the next coat of varnish and then a semi-matt coat...to hide the decal edges.
Glad you liked the process of the build Jim and Christopher. The build has been a learning curve for me as well. Apart from the old post war jets I'll be comfortable doing the newer ones too.
Cheers,
Richard
HI Richard well you say you will build a F-104 brilliant i'll be lookin forward to that an a request ( but don't if you want to make a different one ) but can it be the sort with the big wing tanks on the wing tips as I many yrs ago built the german marine F-104 with the day glow orange wing tanks in 1/32 an it had a showable Vulcan gun in the fusalarge on the left side an it was a fanstastic model an id just finished it an go to put it on the sideboad tripped an dropped the model an well lets just say it was not woth repairin an hav'nt seen another to this day so happy modelling m8tyChristopher, you're right about me going back to dios...have to finish some that I had started way back in the old forum. As for the F-104, that will definitely be built as my friends who have built the recent Kinetic kit say it's a dream to build and quick with low parts count...my kind of thing. See if I can trade my Hasegawa kit for a Kinetic one. I can only build one.
Cheers,
Richard
The Kinetic decals may have that scheme but I'm looking at an all silver bird with all the different shades for the panels. The chrome section for the tail will be a challenge. Definitely adding the wing tanks.HI Richard well you say you will build a F-104 brilliant i'll be lookin forward to that an a request ( but don't if you want to make a different one ) but can it be the sort with the big wing tanks on the wing tips as I many yrs ago built the german marine F-104 with the day glow orange wing tanks in 1/32 an it had a showable Vulcan gun in the fusalarge on the left side an it was a fanstastic model an id just finished it an go to put it on the sideboad tripped an dropped the model an well lets just say it was not woth repairin an hav'nt seen another to this day so happy modelling m8ty
