Whiteraven_2001 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So, I recently bought this, one of my "grail kits," for the extravagant sum of $19 at the Three Rivers IPMS show. I'm soliciting advice for polishing the clear fuselage half, and possible methods for coating it in Future (it's a very large piece, I know). Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For something that large I would just airbrush the future on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverkite211 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 For polishing I use Simichrome Polish with a soft cloth, if it has any deep scratches or scuffing I'll use Rubbing Compound first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyingfortress Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 When I built mine I washed the plastic and air dried, wiped it down with a micro fiber rag, brushed on the Future, let cure for 2 days, buffed with a brand new diaper and finally did another coat of Future. Sounds more time consuming then it was and the model came out great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiteraven_2001 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Fantastic! The person who pointed me in the direction of ARC said it's the best place for advice. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
