Thanks guys. Decals have never been my best friend, and I would try to paint it, but I don't have enough experience matching paint with decals. I don't mind anyway, get the chance to do a different aircraft and repaint the silver so it works out for me in the end. I have the paint, just gotta find the time... Hmmm

The AK Xtreme metals Polished aluminium is down. Not as shiny as I hoped, but if what I hear is correct, I can polish it a little once it has time to dry.

Ok here is the paint. The tail/empennage area is oddly pebbly. Though the nose is smooth. Not sure if I want to strip and repaint yet.

That is strange. Prepped the same way?

Yep! Not sure what it was.

It almost looks like some solvent or a cleaner residue was left behind. I learned the hard way on that.

ah the joys of NMF! Looking good though!

Thanks!
I think it could be the IPA I cleaned it off with. Thanks Lyle,

So uh... this happened.







Went for an unprofessional look, so no straight lines with the blue paint.

Looks like you nailed the unprofessional look perfectly! Way to go Declan! I do love the blue color.
