Right while waiting for some stuff to dry i thought id give myself a weekend project... A had an old Airfix 1:72nd Junkers Stuka kit built back when i was about 14 and looking at it now it still looks quite decent despite some unfortunate decal browning and a lil whitening on the canopy... So i thought... Over the next few days could i sharpen it up enough to feel happy putting it in the cabinet next to my newer builds or is it time for the bin ?
First issue was discovering a complete repaint would be a bad idea as new decals are surprisingly absent from listings.. Hmm... Have a an idea ? Lets see....
At the least it should provide some practice before letting loose on "proper" builds... So... Here we go
Here she is looking straight enough but a lil tired...
Bad whitening on the canopy but can a little paint touch up help ?
More dificult is this bad browing on the underside... Still i have a cunning plan...
Here goes ... First up touch up some paint around the edge of the canopy to see if we can hide that whitening...
Annnnd the first disaster... :) Clumsy fingers and old glue meant while peeling off the masking this happened... Still a minor set back....
Can anyone guess my masterplan ? :)
