Man I know that feeling. I remasked and sealed and sprayed the areas around the exhaust and anti glare panel on that P-51 I just did about 6 times I think. I just went back and forth between the metal lifting and the OD lifting. It got SUPER frustrating. Nice metal paint job though!BorgR3mc0 wrote:Grrr, all the paint of the anti glare panel came off,

I feel your pain! Maybe not over as large an area, but......Patience, barhopper.

Thanks for the compliments on the nmf. I am going to use some tricks to get it look even beter. This just a shiney base coat from a duplicolor spraycan. I am going to put a wash over it and then seal it with a flat coat. To add variation some panels wil be polished with graphite powder.
Current state of affairs: painted the fabric parts with Tamiya Japanese army grey. And reprinted the anti glare panel with Revell aqueous paint.
I am also painting a pilot. Maybe I am going to make a little diorama, I also got a Japanese starter truck by Hasegawa.... The base coat is GW scorched brown, flesh is GW Dwarven flesh and the uniform is Japanese kakhi by Anderea miniatures. Still a lot to do but the first coats are going fine.

Nice resolution of the problem. The finish seems really great.

I finished the pilot:
And put the decals on. Although they are almost 20 years old (I have a "50 years after WWII "commemorative boxing) they work fine. And with some Microset they settled into the panel lines. They are sealed with some brushed on Future.

I have put a wash on the whole plane.
Then gently removed the exces with some tissue and q-tip in the direction of the airflow.
It is still a bit to glossy so I will put on a flat coat. Then it is time for detail painting and putting on the final pieces. It could be finished this weekend.....
