1/48 Hobby Boss FJ-4B Part 2
I decided that the previous kit was salvageable so I got a new kit.

Tell me again what happened? Decals, paint? Off to a good start.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Lots of problems with the decals. They're supper thin and break easily. Then when I put the gloss coat on after the decals were finished it ate right through them.

Might be a good one to try stripping techniques! or firecrackers.

It's already been taken care of. I did save some stuff like landing gear/doors and weapons.LyleW wrote:Might be a good one to try stripping techniques! or firecrackers.
Good to know that the fit is crappy with this kit as well.

What did you use for glosscoat the first time around?Medicman71 wrote:Lots of problems with the decals. They're supper thin and break easily. Then when I put the gloss coat on after the decals were finished it ate right through them.
I am a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, smothered in Canadian bacon.

Had to add a spreader sprue to the front fuselage. I'll have to add one to the rear to get rid of a big gap on one wing.
