Masking fluid?Hi Frank
Looks a nice kit. Quite a biggie as well. You're off to a good start - neat and tidy. Sometimes masking fluid is better than masking tape. May be useful for some of the smaller details.
Main thing is you're having fun.
Jim
Thanks.Hi Frank
All looks good. Great job of the masking.
THIS is masking fluid. It is like a rubbery paint. You paint or apply with a cocktail stick onto the area you don't want the paint to go on. It dries quickly to a thin rubbery film. When the paint is dry you can just rub it off and hey-presto (hopefully) you have an unpainted area. Very useful for small details and can be used with masking tape - tape up the main area and the masking fluid can be used to fill in corners etc.

I did see another model, maybe 1/72 - my memory fails me - that I half jokingly pointed out to SMBO. It was over 4 feet long with a price tag of some £500.YES you are right Frank but there is a bit more to my model isnt there as ive been at it now for nr 3yrs but you are doin great on your bismark i tell you id love to have built a bismark in 1/72 scale what a model that would be wow

I couldn't do that justice, and I wouldn't know where to build or store it.
This will do me.
You wait until you try a kit by a dragon then…..like Frank on steroids they areI'm beginning to think the instructions in these kits have been written by Frank Hornby.
It is widely rumoured that he deliberately gave incorrect instructions on the original Mecanno kits to make us think a bit about what we are doing.
I'm at that stage now
