Cracking across the tail decals. The gray smear is where I’d already started removing paint then though I really should ...

David HThis won't be in FAA colours as I don't have any more FAA decals for this era of phantom so it's going to have to RAF.

Mr DHi Dave pain in the but when something like this happens to paint..?
It's all a learning curve.
I snapped a canopy in two recently.
Don't let it put you off, Velejo paints are very reliable and don't let you down.
I purchase a basic colours set when l first set out and never looked back.
Good luck with sorting it out..👍👍

gorbyShame about the crazing as the model was looking very good. Do you know if it was the paint or the top coat which cracked?

David HMr D , nothing puts me off, as you say it's all a learning curve. Gorby, I "think" it was too heavy a paint coat,. I've stopped using pure acrylics. I now use Tamiya acrylics thinned 50/50 or more with cellulose thinners (and a mask) gives a super smooth finish and no primer needed to key

gorbyI've not heard of Tamiya acrylics being thinned with cellulose before. Normally I use the Tamiya thinners and find that works very well.

David HIf you thin with cellulose (and leave it for a few hours) it breaks the particles down and gives a ridiculously smooth finish as well as etching into the plastic.

Mr DHi Dave 👋
It's bit to Harsh for modeling Cellulose.
Isopropanol alcohol or Tamiya thinner is better and safer.
Cracking can happen if X2 paint coats are drying at quite different times.

David HWhatever works for you…with pure acrylics I've had issues with " lifting" ymmv. Just don't try it with anything other than Tamiya. Tamiya is NOT a proper acrylic . "Proper" ie water based acrylics just turn to jelly 😉
BTW the FAA phantom was done with Tamiya acrylics thinned with Tamiya thinners.

Patrick HagelsteinWow! That's quite the save. 👍🏼 Really nice repaint. 👍🏼 I like using lacquers like Mr. Color, MRP or SMS and occasionally thin Tamiya 'acrylics' with lacquer thinner as well. They spray fabulously and if I need to touch up anything I just come in with brushes and use water or acrylic thinner as to have the same color.

John AcsThank you. I didn't think I would be getting a message. I don't recall you being a member of the Exeter (UK) ISCA Model Makers Club - though I suppose scale-mates encompasses all sorts of disciplines from all over. Where are you writing from?
