Silly me didn't cover the radon nose before all the washings. So I will have to repaint it.

Hi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Not priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

Tamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.

These pictures are the start of a model project that I had long shied away from with respect: the kit parts promised a lot of fun and a highly interesting aircraft as a result, but also a lot of 'toil and trouble'. On the other hand: the adventure simply beckons.... 🙂
Here you can see the parts in almost raw condition, I only started to detail a little with round and flat wire. The tricky question was how to treat the sensitive and already somewhat battered transparent part of the unusual cockpit glazing. I decided to cut off the two side parts, mask the inside and outside of the windows and only attach the central clear part at the very end. I like the pictures with the over-designed radial engine: what a power-to-weight ratio for these racing machines!
The last two pictures show the current state of construction and detailing.... Well, we'll see...

There she is now - at least on her own two feet, even if the appearance with engine and mighty cowling - not to mention the upper wing - will change a lot. The construction steps up to this point were accompanied by a lot of sanding, but the accuracy of fit turned out to be surprisingly good.

You're right!
A friend asked if I was building a flying washing machine - in fact, the empty mount for the huge motor still reminds me of it. All the more so now that everything is white: it went well with all the white that Martin Mars is currently applying and forms a good basis for the following 'lemon yellow'.

Thank you Skyhiker, Cement mixer - I'm laughing my arse off, the Solution is obviously an inspiring sight: how apt!
It's probably time for the massive cowling with the mighty radial engine to go on the front end. One step towards this is the colour yellow, which will remain on the wings and tailplane. I would like to use Gunze's 'Emerald Green' for the fuselage colour.

From this morning with freshly applied decals: everything seems to shimmer and shine appropriately - but it turned out that the decals are absolute 'self-destructors'. The ones you can see here on the model fortunately went reasonably well, but the large markings on the wings and fuselage were beyond repair: just crumbs. Now I'm looking for someone who might be able to make me some painting masks on a PC. Luckily I scanned the decal sheet beforehand.

Beautiful paintwork!
I don't know if this helps but I've sent scans of decals to stsdecals before and they were able to make replacements for the ones that shattered.

Thank you Jürgen! I've just returned from the 'Bavarian Modelling Days' in Erding - a most enjoyable modelling weekend! 🙂 STS really doesn't look bad, but I may have found a quicker way: A modelling colleague has taken on the task of creating adhesive masks for the outstanding identifiers on his PC. The way things are going, it should be possible to spray soon.
This morning I was able to brace the Super Solution using what I think is a good method: The flat wire is stapled into one hole with cyanoacrylate, the other end is drilled through so that the wire is fixed in place with a drop of super glue while one end is pulled hard. Once everything has hardened - with a spray from the 'activator' in seconds - you can let go - the wire tightens perfectly and all is well. Now all that remains to be done is to sand the excess wire and glue flat before applying a new coat of paint.

Oh it's looking so good!
I use a similar approach to wires but I use fine rubber string. I learned from Elias K on here to drill the holes and then patch the finish like you're doing.

Thanks Ben! That sounds very interesting with the rubber strings! Can you explain that in more detail? I would be interested!

I use a product called "ez line" - maybe the best example is on my tiger moth or deperdussin builds. It is a very fine rubber string. This makes it easy to stretch tight. I drill holes and use a drop of super glue with accelerator as you do. I can do one end, stretch it tight, then do the other. The only drawback is the kind I use isn't perfectly round which is visible when it's twisted. Maybe some other modeler can comment on a better (round) brand of fine rubber line.

Thank you very much for this explanation - it helps a lot and puts me on the right track: well, to my surprise, I'm already using the material! 🙂 I know it under a different name from "Uschi van der Rosten". Excellent when it comes to depicting round wire. You have already described the shortcoming of the material. Many thanks for this tip!

A couple of new pictures show the surfaces that have been sanded smooth again in the places where I fed the tensioning wire through the holes yesterday. Now it's time to paint and touch up again - then nothing stands in the way of applying the final markings!

There are also a few new features on the Laird Super Solution - especially the huge engine changes the appearance! But it looks good on the little thing, no more traces of 'egg-plane', but pure power!

Now it's almost done! I was able to paint the missing markings on the fuselage and the upper and lower wings after a friend generously created exact masks for me on his PC and cutting plotter - thank you very much!
I drilled out the headlights on the leading edge of the upper wing once, the pitot tube on the left strut is improvised from two pieces of silver wire and the peculiar cockpit canopy is mounted - now a few small touch-ups will follow, but the Super Solution is close to the finish line!

@bossy122, frankly speaking, I don't know yet. 2 options on the table : option 1 is to cut the decals from the box, option 2 is to do some masking (using tracing paper on the original decals). Option 2 is my preferred option so far.
I already painted the body twice because I had some issues with the masking tape (removing the paint), so hope it will work at first try....
