Most beautiful. Wonderful Job.
I guess there is no sense in pursuing modelling any further without being able to use an airbrush. I can never get These results. It is depressing.
In any case, great work.

Nice save, Chris. I like the red nose, very striking.
Plastics do react to each other, I had some bubble wrap burn into the clear coat of a Mach 1 I built several years ago when we moved. Even masking tape can react with paint and the solvents if you leave them on too long.

Well, that could well be the answer then . The question is what is too long for Tamiya tape and the Future combination to go bad.
My builds are never a couple of days thing. :idonno

It has been my experience that it's best to unmask as soon as possible. If the surrounding surface is dry, I unmask. Sometimes this isn't possible, like with complicated paint jobs, but I'd still pull the tape ASAP.
The phenomenon of plasticizer migration is the likely explanation, here is a definition, more than you'd ever want to know.

Thanks Terry and Gary for following along 
Mike, that made made my head spin :frantic
Sorry for dodling along at a glacial pace but I'm afraid I'm guilty . Even worse, I don't always want to model when time frames are short.
On the positive side , I have managed some progress last week .
If you will notice, the Yak is now sporting a pin was and a flat coat
Friday, I opted to play with some Vallejo washes in the wheel wells . I like them a lot .
I spent some time installing the radiator cooling control rods and added some paints to the canvas boot for the tail wheel. I think it needs another wash to blend it some more.
The spinner/prop have been painted and assembled .
The canopy mask has been removed except for the center plug.
Anyhow, some more progress coming soon I hope
Cheers, Christian B)

Thanks James , Mike , Dave , Gary , Bob , Helios.
You probably did not notice but the difference between the Eduard decals ( on the box) and the ones I used from AML .
The Russian flag is much smaller even though it appears to be the same bird.
I had hope to salvage the red warning sign from the the Eduard set but were garbage and after wrestling successfuly with only four, I gave up . They would have been nice to have.

There it is! (just getting caught up)!
Looks amazing Christian! I agree with the wheel wells, those washes really add to it!
Thanks Gary , Luiz and Warren for checking in .
I do like the wheel wells but no one will ever see them again . I decided to order some other things to finish it with because we have zero shops here :frantic
Maybe I'll just weather it some this week, if father time will gives me some slack ( that remains to be seen )
Cheers, Christian B)
