Very very nice work - more of an architectural builder than a model maker. OC. -
You have done a fine job of her - remember its a very old kit and it takes talent to do what you did. OC.

Thank you so much Denis - yep paint is a funny thing but I think I have it sussed now, the knee is still painful to touch (I go "ouch" when our dog jumps on my lap and puts her paws on my knee) but its ok to walk on. OC.

Welcome to the club Greg, as the others have said - there is lots and lots of useful info from some very talented builders. OC. -
Evening all, a tiny bit of progress today - I finished off another Voltigeur. OC.

Just to add to everyones help - the Tamiya Acrylics are Not water based but use a different medium for thinning, I have been told if you have it Isopropyl is ok to thin the paint (but needs to be quite a high alcohol content one) OC.

Superb job of the windows - infact the whole paint job so far, your skills make me envious, I remember this kit very well as I also built her when I was about 12 (but did a right hatchet job on her) Really loving these liners you are bringing back to life. OC.

Thank you kindly Phil, yep the Perry ones are better than Victrix - especially the British ones. OC.

Mark the secret was - putting up with the satin paint finish then spraying the clear flat coat over them with taimya clear laquare (as its brilliant - used it on my plane builds) then touching up any shiny bits when the top coat has dried - with me that was a few hours. EG suggested it - I owe him a drink. OC.
