Hey guys, adding more seems to be a working method....thanks for the idea. I've added a huge amount and it can pull up the original stuff perfectly. Hard work as I have tons of small patches, but it's working!
Thanks again!

Hi
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I cannot use any wet ideas becouse of the pastels. Adding a new layer should work, I've tried it. Some of them removed, but some of the removed the underlying paint too...Next time I'll use the humbrol liquid mask for this purpose.
Additional ideas are welcomed!

Hi
I have a big problem. I'm using Micromask to mask off some areas for weathering with pastels....I tried to add a big amount of masking material to everywhere, but after drying, it's very very thin, it's almost invisible. After done with the pastel, I'd have to remvoe the masks (smaller areas!), but I simply cannot lift up an edge, as I cannot get any....it's too thin. So how can I reamove it? The water is not acceptable, as I've used pastels for this weathering. Pulling up with tape is even not an option, it pulls up the pastels, but the masking material remains on the surface...also if I try to remove with a pin or simetgin like that, than it's coming off with the paint...it's way too thin.....so how can I remove it?
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to use this material for masking. Humbrol's liquid mask worked better, and came off way easier :( If I cannot remove it, then I don't have too much idea how to do more progress on my Corsair

Okay guys....I'm with the "landing gear after flat coat" team too....just asked, as I sew several times the other way, and cannot imagine the advantages of that method.
BTW Really nice Phantom indeed!

Hi there
I've seen on many photos that some of the modelers are glueing the landing gears into place before the paint job. Why is it? I never did it, as I'm afraid it can broke easily while handling for airbrushing and weathering. Also cannot easily reach it to paint the details. So what's the secret?

Sure, I can confirm it! Emil is a good guy! Thumbs up!

Hey there,
I'd really need a pair of 1/32 Tomcat wings, preferrably from the old revell kit. When I started to build it, I decided to drop the flaps and slats (scratchbuilt). But we moved to a new house, and I don't have too much space, so that would be great t find a kit wing to let me able to close tham back.

Sure I know that smooth surfaces results gloss surfaces.....but we both seen little bit fogged (= not that polished shiny) canopies at old planes. They are smooth to the end, becouse the surface remained smooth. But there can be fogging in the material itself. I still don't think that kit canopies should okay. And in addition a layer of Future is required at least for avoid the plastic effect, and to change the IOR of the material. So maybe, I'll go over the Future with something....I'll see....I think lot of experimenting ahead :)
Anyway in mdoeling it doesn't really important why an effect is on hte real pleane, our purpose is to represent it somehow. For examle scale color is not a real effect, but we use it, becouse of the real lighting phisics. All about simulating, and making the illusion of an effect.

Yes, I know that the second is made in overcast, but on the first image you can see the sharp shadows, what means there my be cloudes (as it seen on the image), but there are sunshine, and the sun is not covered my a cload at the moment. I know it's an anti reflective material, but I still state that kit canopies are often more shiny than needed, and I want to tone it down a bit.

neu,
Not that I have a solution for you, but I am curious about how flat those canopies were. Can you post a pic of one of these a/c?
Thanks.

Hey,
Here are two photos linked from ARC's Walk Arounds. It's not A-7, and it looks a bit different, but generally I'm talking about this. It's reflecting, but not that much, even if we know that the lighting conditions is not that shiny. I don't mean that I want to copy this, just want to do something similar...

You want canopies to mate??!?!? :blink: :huh: :o
Take Care
Mario
Definitely not matte, but not that highly polished shiny. So comparing to a Futured canopy, it's more flat.
Anyway I've seen totally matte, and fogged canopy on an old Mig-15UTI :D

Basically it's not a bad idea :blink: Well....I'll see
More different methodes are welcom aswell!Have a nice weekend to everybody!

I'll check if I got home. Definately it's not flat, but far not that shiny as usual. Maybe it's dust or something, but it's not high shined.
I'll check if I can post this photo, as I've got some photos where the copyright owner asked me not to publish them.

Hi
I realized on some 70'-80' photos that some of the US Navy aircrafts (not operational, just tied down) has not that glossy canopy. The full aircraft is flat, and the canopy is more flat instead than gloss...
As I'm building the heavily weathered Corsair on the image I've got, I had to solve that problem. How can I make the canopy more flat? I don't want to overdo it, just don't want to make it shine. I'm afraid that simply misting semi gloss or flat coat over it would make frosting/fogging. I don't want to loose the transparency, just make it a bit flat....
So...any idea or experience?
Greetings, neu

Yes I know, I'll try it on a scrap. Thanks for notifying! I'll open a new topic for it...maybe there are experiences...

Thank you guys! I'm going to use the EZ mask and the Tamiya tape on the Future layer. I'm trusting more than before thanks to you guys!
Anyway I was thinking on that future thing, becouse I've seen many photos where canopies are looking not that glossy on an A-7E. On some photos sometimes these are looking a bit flat....dunno...maybe I'll go over it with a light mist of semigloss...

Hey Frank,
Really nice Corsair! This is the Corsair I want to build when I've finished most of the models in my stash :wacko: It belongs to the Jolly Rogers history :)
