Probably going to be the last WIP update before finishing this one up.


So go the decals done and then locked everything in with a gloss coat. At this point i decided to forgo the panel line wash as goven the scale it would likely overpower the panel lines in this scale. So then proceeded to the flat coat and got a couple sub assemblies started and/or completed. Should have this done in a day or so.

Man Chris, that Stang is really shaping up! I too have never heard of using pink as a base coat for yellow.
Learned something new.. As for the decals, I’ve heard so many complaints about this company in regards to the decals being to brittle..
Looks like you were one of the lucky ones!

To be honest the only issue I had with the decals was one of my own making. Aside from that they were problem free. They did seem on the thin side, but not to the point of being brittle.
