Have you tried thinning with Windex?
What did it do, or not do?

I shoot mine straight with no thinning. I found when I do that, it lays down perfectly; especially when I do two or three thin coats. Anytime someone says they thin it, it never works out.
Also, I use Windex to clean the airbrush from Future/Klear as it cuts it and breaks it down. I wouldn't thin with it.

I'll just say this birdie looks great. Never been good at building planes myself and that's one more reason for me to really enjoy watching a great model coming to life.

Whats wrong, Ian? Oh I see, well, don't fret because Bob used to call me Phil for a long time. That's one sharp cat though.

On finals now....
Props, floats, beaching gear etc, etc all painted and waiting. This afternoon I took a deep breath and sprayed the de-icing boots, and they seem to have come-out OK, not sure about the corrosion along the waterline, it is a lot less 'prominent' than it appears on the photos, but I'll take any suggestions and comments from folks here.
Final assembly will wait until the extensive comms wiring is done, but that in-turn will have to wait until I glue the wings on with copious amounts of KM Weld... it's going to be a solid joint as all the stress will be centred there.
As ever all comments, q's and crits are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to look and Happy New Year all.

I like it a lot Ian but I have to question the rust .
Do you have a color picture of this ? I would prefer to think more dried salt and other scum since aluminum does not rust .
