Cant believe it over 12.000 views just on a model plane. Thank you all so much. OC. -
Thank you kindly EG, yep its just a "Bag it job" to mask all the fuselage minus the area to be re sprayed, then after a few days another blast over with the top coat. OC.

Just took these pics of the bits in my box drying/de gasing, it shows the damage to the Left rear stab (I used a little wet and dry it has gone through the paint a bit so I will have to mask and re spray the Grey section). OC.

Bit of a funny tail (didn't know if I should post it earlier) - when I was top coating my fuselage I was holding the mossie by one of the rear stabs and wearing a throw away glove - all normal at that point, anyway I then went and grabed the other stab (that had just been sprayed😮) and got a loverly Black finger print on the camo. I was outside yelling ####$$$$$$$&&&&&& couldn't believe it (dont put down technical ability when stupidity spoils it) So now I have to decide how I can rectify it without causing too much damage to the camo - possibly a very very light wet and dry to try to remove the fingerprint. "Fun and games - fun and games" OC.

Was that a Rattle can mike? my paintwork/flat coat has to be either brush painted or rattle can, but the most important requirment is for it to be Zero Fumes. OC.

Thank you All for the likes and interest in my build. Today I decided to have a go at the Flat clear coat curtosy of Tamiya TS80 Rattle can, I was always going to be "on the dge of my seat" doing this as I was worried about it bubbling up the decals due to it being a hot laquer, I decided to try it on the wings first as the decs have been settled the longest, first I warmed the can gently with tap water in a bowl (this helps the paint to mix) then out doors on the patio (a bit windy to be fair but cant change the weather) I tried to do a misting coat - not easy with rattle cans, I gave it about Ten minutes then over sparyed a few more times. Seems to have worked ok - I could see the paintwork smoothing out to a nice flat coat and no interference to the decals, I then repeated it on the other wing, I then did the same to the fuselage. Trouble is trying to not get the fumes from that damn Laquer paint/top coat is impossible in our house. Why o why cant they do Acrylic in Rattle canc? OC.

Hiya mate, I have seen builds where folks halve the width of the planks from the bow back as far as one whole plank length (but only on the top of each plank not underneath) this way it helps to set them correctly around the bow, even in museum builds they used narrower tapering planks at the bow and to an extent around the stern where they taper towards the rudder. OC.

My way through my build was to tackle stages at a time - to do little sections at a time - it broke it up nicely that way. OC.

Thank you Denis, yep just a few detailing jobs to do - Bombs, bomb bay doors, entrance hatch, ladder, radio pole, comms wire, and the Biggy - top coat to dull it all down. OC.

Thank you Ken. OC.

You should do your dio's and take them around schools a real insight into action turning a replica into a 3D event, Brilliant. OC.

Thank you so much EG, thought I would mention - the sqn code on the side is meant to be sloping like that. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Edward, the only thing that is scaring the living daylights out of me is spraying the Tamiya TS80 Clear top coat rattle can, I have no choice it has to be dulled and the rattle can is the only smooth way I can do it, so yep it is worrying me. OC.
