Old Collingwood Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #575 Posted May 10, 2020 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?

Landlubber Mike Posted May 10, 2020 Share #578 Posted May 10, 2020 Sorry just realized I replied to an earlier post and you already applied the clear. Yeah, I used a rattle can. Was super easy, but the smell wasn’t fun. Opened a window in my basement and vented using my spray booth but things still stunk for a while.

Old Collingwood Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share #579 Posted May 10, 2020 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.

Old Collingwood Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share #580 Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) 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).

Thank you so kind, yep its a nice kit - has its issues that need fiddling like the fuselage halves joining, and the engine units fitting them over the wing is a pain, they need filing/sanding and then a bit of filler.

Old Collingwood Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share #594 Posted May 19, 2020 Hi all, I spent a bit of time on mossie to day, the rear stab was nice and dry so I gave it a few watery coats of Acrylic grey by brush - all good, I then took off the masking and noticed the main decal on the one side had crackled, the trouble is there is a coat of laquer flat coat that was sprayed over the top, would micro sol work on it to smooth it out even though there is a coat of laquer over the top of it. Looks quite bad and spoils what has turned out to be a good finish.

I don't think microsol is going to work if you have lacquer on it as it needs to penetrate the decal to soften it.

Tell me about it - its like its a jinxed plane, the funny thing is all the other decals are just fine - nice and flat and blended down with the flat laquer. Its not an easy operation by any standards even holding the thing while spraying is fiddly then the blast from the rattle can, trying to control that is impossible, I have to do it freehand as I have no way of spraying into a booth or rotate the model on a turntable.

Yep, the other side is fine, I have just this moment gone down stairs (as its night here now) and put a coat of micro sol over the affected decal/s I will check them in a couple of hours to see if (by miracle) the micro sol has worked - not holding my breath though. The problem is that top coat of Tamiya Laquer is key as it will either stop me working on the decal, or if I decided to try to remove the decal using tape to pull it off - I think the laquer will stop it or at worst pull a larger area of paint and laquer with it.
