I GIVE UP ON MODELING. AS THE FERRING IS SNAPPED AND I KEEP GETTING RUN MARKS AND AND DEFAULTS NEED HELP, I HAVE SANDED AND WASHED THEN SPRAYED PRIMER LEFT TO DRYWAITED 15 MINS INBETWEEN EACH SPRAY , SANDED, THEN WASHED THEN TOP COAT LEFT TO DRY OVER NIGHT SANDED WITH WET AND DRY 1200 GRIT SPRAYED 2ND TOP COAT LEFT TO DRY, THEN I NOTICED A RUN IN THE PAINT TONIGHT STARTED TO SAND BACK TO GET RID OF THE RUN AND THEN I NOTICED FERRIRING SNAPPED. I CAN NOT SPRAY I'M SH*T WITH TAMIYA THE COMPANY THEY CHARGE FOR REPLACEMNT PARTS WHERE REVELL AND AIRFIX DO NOT CHARGE FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS.

[james pithouse]

this is where it snapped [ATTACH]273684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]273688[/ATTACH]

Jim it's not beyond repair, gets some 1 mill plasticard cut a thin strip off and join the break with it, then mix some talcum with superglue (it makes an excellent filler) spread it over the join then sand smooth (you have to work quick with the filler but it's easy to sand)

Shame, it was looking really good.

Yeah you can fix that no problem with plasticard. It will just take time. Sounds like you are allowing too much paint to hit the part in one go? It's hard to spray with a can if the parts are more intricate but light mist coats until it builds up is the way to go. The more mistakes made the more lessons learnt. Have a look at the Ferrari I did. I recovered it from similar to this this but it took time. I learned a lot!

Keep going with it.
