Did wonder that, not too bothered as think it might add to the weathering... just not seen it before.. If I had to guess I'd say some sort of contamination in those areas, maybe some mould release agent.

Boat... tide mark... lol like it. Will need another coat of white as I'm doing the Med markings. Will see how it covers. Would agree, with some sort of contamination. Admittedly only flashed over the hull and decks, but that's the only effected piece... so far.I'd agree with Jim that some kind of contamination is the most likely cause. You can see where the paint has been repelled away from the holes and has built up into a surrounding tide mark.
Sorry Andy, just my warped sense of humour.Boat... tide mark... lol like it.
So do I. But got one of the grandaughters tomorrow (2 year old) so no spraying as I use the kitchen.I hope the next coat fixes it for you mate.
Apart from the hull , it's been only superglue that been used, however I do have a tendency to scrape parts before glueing. Don't know why, just do...probably why I've gotten away with it. so far...NB (latin for heads-up). Superglue does not like release agent (aka oil) either!
Yep, totally agree. Like here I am, shoot me. Apparently though it's something to do with boats/ships operating in the Mediterranean, for identification from the air...HI Andy well i build ships an such but why is there a red an white stripes on the bow as ive seen this on some battleships but did not know why as to me it makes them easy to be seen an easy targets ?

CHEERS for your reply AndyYep, totally agree. Like here I am, shoot me. Apparently though it's something to do with boats/ships operating in the Mediterranean, for identification from the air...

Think it was a review of an Italeri that I saw the striping mentioned. Not seen any actual photos with the stripes on.The red and white stripes where indeed ID marks to stop friendly fire attack from the air. Not sure it was just a Mediterranean thing, I believe the Baltic vessels had them as well.
