Hi, I have to replicate a camo pattern on a US Dakota wings & body for that matter so that the shape is consistent throughout the model e.g. butterfly effect. Normally I would use see through masking film to achieve this but just wondering if anyone out there has got any brilliant ideas that I haven't thought of yet?

Planning ahead ? And organizing your build

I like building two different models at a time and switching between the two of them to reduce latency -

Thanks Wolfman, I've been looking for this solution -
Your tools and techniques on seams
1:72 WW2 Air Only replied to archaicguy70's topic in Tools 'n' Tips
I've used a Tamiya thin brush on glue but what I did was chop up some old sprues and put them in the bottle. The sprues dissolved in the glue and I now have liquid plastic to apply to those gaps! -
My latest video on Scribing Panel Lines is up
1:72 WW2 Air Only replied to Paul Budzik's topic in Tools 'n' Tips
Great video, I tend to just use Tamiya panelines to get mine done in 1:72. I need to get a scriber though for those models that do not have clearly defined panel lines. -
Hi 11bee, I've found a recent advantage to using a clear sealing over my decals: I airbrush Tamiya X-22 acrylic clear coat before applying decals, after decals are applied I just airbrush X-22 over them. I then apply Tamiya panelines which is a thined down enamel paint over panel lines. Because of the process I've used I can also paint panel lines over the decals which creates a really cool effect. When I rub off excess paneline paint off with an enamel thiner neither the paint or the decals are attacked as the enamel thiner doesn't work on acrylic.

Italeri Hudson parts

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it. -
I recently got an old Frog kit from eBay & the protection (top) sheet is sticking to the decal and leaving paper on the decals. Is there a way to fix this? Best regards, Dan

Thanks everyone, very helpful. The Revell box retails from around £5. Its just been a fiddly pet peeve of mine to have to always build a figure for my planes.
