That SUX!!!
I did it again...can't remember what I did it on before but I know I did it before.
Got the flat coat on right, then I washed it down with Migs Neutral wash.
NEVER MIX MIGS WASH WITH LACQUER THINNER.
I'll be in the corner over hear contemplating my next move. This bird is toast. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

eh...shit happens. That's what I get for not paying attention and rushing to do things.

Sorry to hear about your disaster .
I'm confused about adding anything to the mig wash . It should already be like water ? ? ? :idonno
I also prescribe to Tom's thoughts " The more I do this the more I realize model building is more about figuring
out how to fix your mistakes than building.
Cheers , Christian B)
That's right Tom, my bottle of neutral wash is like mud, don't know if that's by design or not but it's very very thick. I thin it with enamel thinner. I just simply screwed up and thought I poured out the lacquer and replaced it with enamel thinner or forgot to do it at all.
Chris Migs washes are enamel based so water will not be what you want to use.
I don't have another Messerschmitt in the stash so I guess I'll miss out on this ribbon.

Hmmm, mine are AK ( enamel ) . I thought they would be the same under a different name .
PS, I am also very careful to label my bottles of stuff, so I know which stuff is the right stuff :fencing
Yikes ! :facepalm
Ditto :zen :zen
JAMES!!!! Nooo!!
That just means I gotta build it. I told Terry I might do some armor just to break up the run.
You're too kind James. Thanks. You shouldn't but if it shows up I'll do my best on it. :drinks

Was thinking along the same lines James.
Really sorry to hear about the disaster Bob, I guess that I am still in the enamel and acrylic stage and don't even think about stinky smelly thinners except as cleaning solutions. If it smells bad it is bad for plastic and paint.

Damn Bob, sorry to hear this one went Pete Tong 
Thanks guys, like I said stuff happens. I'm not one who throws things across the room, think Gary's suggestion is good, I'll have it mounted on the wall in front of the bench. 
I have no idea what that means...WTF is Pete Tong? :idonno
