I have used it with success in the past. I learned that the smaller the window the better the results. Cheers, Rick H.

Hi Lee, progress looks good and nice to see it getting the detail treatment.

I had tried the sun for my decals without any results until I realised that my windows were treated with a film of UV protection. I will have to tape the bag outside the window now to try. :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

Good bit of bleaching there Lee. I did the same with some of my oil paintings where the white had turned yellow due to the presence of unrefined linseed oil (cheap paint).

Been looking at the Mitchells in the new Catch 22 on TV. The bomb aimer's cabin at the front was quite a unique feature.

Richard. Thanks I think I would worry about the weather outside the window

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and the complement. This is the first time I tried this figured I would wait till summer when the suns closer just had a lot of cloudy days now it’s to humid to paint

Windows look good time to glue it together. I know there’s a bad seam at the top but I’m just gonna have to live with it

Added the wings after all the weight I put in the fuselage it’s still a tail sitter

You might try filling up the nose gear well after you get the gear assembled to the fuselage. if that doesn't work try thin lead sheet under the cockpit floor or in the bombardiers compt. Good luck Lee. Rick H.

Just saw this and had a reread through.

Will be good to see it reborn in it's full colours .

Hi Lee
I had forgotten this. Glad you're bck at it. Seams along the body look to need some filling.
Jim

Rick I’ll try it I’ve got a lot of weight near the nose already

John Thanks Yes I got frustrated at it and put it away for awhile glad you stoped by

Jim. Yes that seam is bothering me too Thanks the complement

This afternoon I was Spring Cleaning and found this old build. I was so annoyed by that seam gap down the middle of the fuselage I almost trashed it but I kept it. So I decided to do some work on the seam and the rest of it. I think I’ll try to just finish this one after all I’ve had it since I was about 16 years old.
Fixed the seam the best I could and re painted it I’m done with it and moving on Detailed the Engines using a Pencil for a metal look Clear Coated those Decals I Bleached out we’ll see if they work Lost the piece I made for the nose gun so I’m going to use the Original one that came with the kit. More later.

Now it "seams" to me that it was inevitable that you find this old kit and finish it.......that is one more you will be able to scratch off your "Bucket List" Lee.:thumb2: Rick H.
