RAF Tornado 1/72 - First attempt in 30+ years - disaster looming

[Guest]

Certainly a mistake you will never make again, and an opportunity to start on something else, though I do feel your pain.

I'm really sorry to see this it was going so well your paint job was great and the kit was well made

If I need. To dry paint quickly I use a hairdryer from about a foot away but don't like doing it and do tryto avoid. It

Really sorry for you mate

Oh bugger! Don't throw it out, keep it for spares or as a diorama subject. Even Tornados have had wheels-up landings I never throw any model out, bits and pieces can come in very handy later on.

Strange, I've not heard anything on the news about a Tourette's outbreak in Lancashire! It would have done if that had happened to me.

Never mind Mick. It ain't the first time summat's gone wrong for a modeller and it won't be the last. Like most things, modelling has a learning curve which is very steep right at the start, but it does start to level out eventually. (I'm still on the steep bit but I've always been a slow learner).

As Steve said, you enjoyed what you did. The next one will be better.

Oh there were a few choice words being shouted,think I may have invented a few.

Didn't help my mood when the mrs burst out laughing when I showed her my fiery tornado.

Onwards and upwards to the next victim,can't stop now - I spent a bloody fortune in the ladies' section in Asda on nail files and emery boards

Oh no! Gosh glad I can learn from your mistakes here and never try that myself... that must really suck!!!
