Hello Everyone
I hope you all have had a good weekend! :drinks
So this is the progress. Firstly, the office is ready:
Then I decided to tackle the seam lines (Christian this is for you):
Again I used the bone wax. It got the job done, the excess could be easily removed by scrubbing the surface:
After the scrubbing, the metal primer is added. All in all better than before, me thinks!
Cheers everyone

Thanks Christian!
I know it was for my benefit - and that is why I am very thankful! I had not even consider it before. So thanks to you and all other friends here I am improving bit by bit.

Hello dear friends.
SO the Val is ready. I tried something a bit unusual, a technique that is supposed to simulate the dirt being washed away by carrier operation and/or rain. I read it on Wings Master, not sure if it worked out but at least it was fun to try.
I could not use the Acrylic colours here so I had to use a Whiteensignmodel Enamel; got a bit too thick but again I am pleased with the result.
The Val is far from good, but still better than before (maybe again too dirty). I learn a lot in each airplane, so it is all worth it.
Next week I will begin the Wildcat. What do you prefer: extend or retracted wings???
Cheers and nice weekend everyone!
