20 year old PollyScale paint still good, fine, actually.


Recommended Posts

Hey cool, discovered a 20 year old bottle of PollyScale metallic green paint still good, fine, actually.
The bottle had been purchased in 1990s for use in aft cockpit area of Monogram 1/48 F-15.
Sometime between then and 2008 I started a scratchbuild of one of my space fighter designs.

And stopped.

But painted some on the part in progress - aft fuselage and wings.

Found it in a box last month and decided to work on it again.

It is so old the liquid glue has turned the white styrene yellow!
A part of the weapons bay interior had gone missing so I built a new one, 3 pieces of styrene, those being a strip of sheet, a length of half-round, and a length of rod.
Knew the PollyScale paint bottle was in a box in the back bedroom here a decade later and 3 moves after last time it had been used.
It is still good!

😁

(and ... of course ... while looking through boxes for something else later in the evening I found the missing part!!!

That's it at top edge of image. Ain't that the way life goes.)
