I remember, while stationed in a VAP squadron, how much we dreaded the call for all E-2 and E-3s to report to the hanger for plane wash downs. You have any idea how much surface area there is on an A-3 Skywarrior? In addition to washing it down we then had the pleasure wax the entire aircraft. It was a real incentive to make E-4 as fast as possible lol
Ah yes… the proverbial shit duties of E-3 and below. I, too, was thankful when I made E-4.
And, yes, I need to get some modeling putty for those dreaded gaps. As far as Future goes, I just may order in from Amazon or something because NOBODY has it around here in Illinois…
I could not see if you had stated how long you let your top-coat cure (maybe I missed that). Every time I have had problems, it has been because my topcoat was not fully cured. I now let them go a minimum of 48 hours, and usually 72 hours, and I am in a pretty dry climate, in Utah. More humidity of course means even longer cure times.
Isn’t using an airbrush a blast?
I think it was only a day or 2… so, yeah, probably should have let it cure longer. And…HELL YEAH!!! I love using the airbrush. I wonder what would have happened if I had one in my younger days when I was building? I might actually have some skill…lol!
