Runs and bubbles happen to the best of us. Nothing a little 600+ wet-or-dry won't cure. Wing looks nice. I said it once and I will say it again, this is going to be one cool model. It's Aoshima, so I am assuming this doesn't have an engine bay?

That would be correct senor ;)


Right now, I'm trying to use 600 grit sandpaper to get rid of them, but the paint hasn't dried well enough for me to sand it out >.<

Thats one of the worst times lol...you can't do anything but wait or else you'll really botch your paint. I found that out the hard way.

Its, allivveeeeee. After an entire year. Really been that long o.O

Well, I still tried to fix the paint problems. Then I messed up. Bad. Lots of bubbles.

So, I'm starting from square one again. So right now I'm in the process of sanding/ paint thinnering all the paint away. Then I'm going to sand it a little, put down some primer, then hopefully put down a good coat of yellow paint.



Le process:

Got the side bits loose so I could remove more paint.

But when I tried getting the front bit off, I snapped the nubs that it was attached to :'(

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1993.jpg


There were still little bits of paint left in the cracks which were annoying to get to X(

http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/a...5/IMG_1992.jpg



Fast forward a day~~~

and I got all (well, at least most of it) removed and glued it back together ;)

One of these days when I have time I'll prime it then paint it yellow if I have enough paint left.

taiwanesekid05 11-17-2010 03:02 AM

Spray painted...

It's got a bit of a rough spot near the front, so I just need to sand it down and give it one final coat.
