Below is a picture of a “stalled” 1/350 arizona model, the white stuff is masking film.
I have never used this much befor, my hope is that i’ll simply be able to cut away the parts covering what i want to paint leaving a protective coating around it. I need a protective coating because due to a bad mixing experment (annoying story) i no longer have this color paint, and doubt i can reproduce it perfectly. Having to be so carefull, and going so slow, not to mention all the bending over finally got to me so i had abandoned this project untill i rembered the masking film.
Either this will restart the kit and i’ll have it done in 3 weeks (not the only project on the go) or it becomes target pratice.
I ran into a new problem. On flat or pritty flat surfaces it workes great, on 3d objects it tends to pull away from any indentations, on inside of round curves it rips. I discovered that it also visably lightens acrylic paint.
I’m awaiting my ship to come in… it’s the Banner/ Trumpeter kit. Seems there’s plenty of reviews of this & builds up fairly nicely. other than the Kingfischer[:(]
What ever you do Ed DO NOT buy the toms model work PE sets the instructions stink. I started mine and it’s been on the shelf ever since havent evan put the thing togeather yet just messed with PE stuff. I think when of if i ever get the money i’ll buy the WEM set at least it comes with everthing.
