I'm seeing it a lot on SPAM recently, no matter what PC/Browser I use there's always something I can't see. I don't think it's the forum, more to do with the other hosting sites we're having to use since PB corked it.

Re: Airfix BP Defiant in 1/72
but, aaaaah! distater struck!!
i peeled off the masking only to find the front canopy had some bad fogging going on! nooooooo!
(the turret was fine tho...what gives?)
so ill have to pop it off and see if a dip in future can clear that up, but if not, ill have to grab the optional canopy parts and repaint

Re: Airfix BP Defiant in 1/72
I hate it when those setbacks happen. Seems like every build has at least one. But at the very end is frustrating.
I read that you use your phone to photograph. I do the same. I recently have been "experimenting" to get some better pictures with my phone so I thought I could give you some unsollicited advice.
My pics have gotten better by using better lightning: day light is great, if unavaible day light lamps or otherwise just make sure you have a lot of indirect light.
Secondly I use Snapseed, a simpel app to adjust contrast, white balance (important when you don't have daylight) and reframe pictures.
I think some better pics will to your builds more justice.

Fogging on the canopy? Are you using CA glue to attach the canopy?
