Nice work Robert
Personally I don't think it's down to the Tamiya tape Robert, but the paints. Vallejo is so fragile that I never use it when masking is required.
If it was me, I'd respray the damaged areas where big patches have come off. To attempt to do them as bare metal would look OTT in my opinion.
Thanks Patrick
I used that stynylrez primer too and from the pull offs it's taken that too.
I am going to remask the areas and respray ( tedious but I think and believe needed.
I like Model air too but will have to be careful with the paint in future
Thanks
Robert
Vallejo paint are fine and just as robust as the next one. Use of the correct thinner and let it cure before masking.
I'm not knocking VMA or putting enamels above acrylic paints, but I've got to disagree with you there Ian! A quick Google search shows that many people have problems with Model Air & Colour rubbing off or pulling up, even if all the usual prerequisites have been met.
Acrylic paint just aren't as robust as enamels... And I'll take a challenge on that any day!
Looking good Robert but I see what you mean about the decals very shiny.
Will look great when it's done though
