This build for me, has been all about getting back to basics, stop taking short cuts and do the job properly. To put it another way, stop churning out so so build... .
Well looking back over the thread this picture sticks out
Luftwaffe liked their spiral spinners but i find these a bit daunting. I looked on line for an easy solution and guess what ? Everyone else finds these decals a challenge and all the best build spray the spiral.
Well i tried that and the idea is to spray the spiral colour, mask it off then spray the Spinner. That's when i found that this is difficult because the spiral is tapered so your masking needs to be tapered and its really hard to mask the centre circle.
At this point i found a small note on a forum that just said, cut the decal in the kit into sections, get the centre circle fitted and dry, then add the rest
Simple![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Very pleased with myself....not just because it worked, but because i pulled myself up for not doing a proper job in the first place and gave it a go![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
