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.

Mr DWell done for pulling it back Dave, l like the new scheme..... Great aircraft 😃👍

Gary VictoryNice work David. I've done something similar on a Tamiya Spitfire because of the decals. Looking forward to seeing the finished result.

BetterTimes-HenryLooks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍

Desert MarlinAfter two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!
16 October, 21:53
Desert MarlinBiggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.
16 October, 21:56
Desert MarlinModel Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert MarlinI have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.

Gary VictoryReally nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Snake PlisskenFinish looks legit; is that a semi-gloss or satin coat? Sometimes model planes have too much of a flat or matte finish.
16 October, 21:47
Shane HodgettsCheers…legit is what we're all looking for…😉👍
I used the Mr.Hobby semi gloss rattle can just before applying the decals…then weathering on top. Was going to hit it with a flat coat but kinda thought it looked "legit" as is…😁👍
