Well its all systems go on the modelling front. We are expecting our first child in January (Hopefully will be a spotter), so I'm trying to get all my kits done before. Anyway on with the kit. I have decided to get the B-1B done as I missed the bones when they made an appearance at RAF Mildenhall. It's not going to be small with a length of 616mm and a width wing tip to wing tip of 545mm. Here is the box art for it.  P1014396 by Christopher Newton, on Flickr Chris |

The kit definitely is a big beast, can I ask which paints you are using?
Have quite a few kits myself which I need to crack on with, but trying to get the mojo back to do it is a pain!

Gentle rub with tip of a razor blade or craft knife might fix the masking issues Chris

Gentle rub with tip of a razor blade or craft knife might fix the masking issues Chris I agree with 'jetdragon', just scrape it away gently and it will come off. Try not to use the point of a blade, a curved blade is better to avoid scratches. Any slight scratching can be fixed with a good rub with a soft cloth (I use my jumper!) to restore a polish, and follow this with a thin coat of clear varnish, if still needed. |
