G_Marcat_Italy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Printed a little set of homemade decals: used INKSCAPE free vectorial drawing program and printed on a Canon inkjet. The official name of the my Crusader is now F-8Y (as by the name given to the italian G-91Y Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G_Marcat_Italy Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Application of decals completed: This time gone against the rules: I choose of do not apply the usual/mandatory hand of gloss base before to lay down the decals. The decals have been applied on the MATT surfarce but before of to appply the decal I have brushed on some drops of WHITE GLUE thinned with water. This is an experiment, will see if it work.

G_Marcat_Italy Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 When I come here to publish news on the my works I understand how fast the time run. Ok, the current status is: The application of the decals is gone well, after this operation sprayed a hand of ALCLAD KLEAR COTE MATTE on all the model. Nothing of bad happened. By a pair of days I'm working to apply the modified twin exhaust from the Airfix Lightning on the reworked tail end of the my Crusader. I should have done this work early before of to paint the model but I was so determined to paint the kit that I have decided of to run the risk of to handle the completed model for the exhaust application. This is how the rear end the Super Crusader look now: After this, remain by to do some minors details: the conclusion of the project is near! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G_Marcat_Italy Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 The two barrell exhaust stolen from the Lightning and painted with the Alclads is glued in place: adding the undercarriages, Sparrows added. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G_Marcat_Italy Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have had a bad surprise doing the last details. Brushed a layer of Model Master Dullcote over surface previously sprayed with the new ALCLAD KLEAR COTE MATTE. The two products have reacted. Has formed a YELLOWED blob of matt paint. At this point removed the yellowed blob with a medium grade sanding stick and REPAINTED all the zone. Protected the surrounding zone with a new kind of extra low tack painter's tape found in the my usual store. Thank the very fast drying time of the GUNZE's acrylics I did all in a minute. After to have sprayed the Gunze gray, whitened the original Gunze Gray and with it sprayed the center of the panels. Few minuted later darkened/post shaded the panel lines using the same Gunze Gray added of a bit of black. The kit should be ready now,will look for the last problems/details.
