Interesting discovery: use kitchen shrink wrap film as a barrier between model and plans to prevent glue damage. It works.....

Re: Guillows Supermarine Spitfire

I should have left it like that!!!

Last time I used Lacquer with Universal Stainer, Auto Paint (NC)

The tissue sagged after paint.

This time I tried Acrylic (Fevicryl) The tissue sagged Bang Head

Re: Guillows Supermarine Spitfire

I guess Oil Paint (Enamel) thinned down with Turpentine, and several thin coats with proper drying between coats will work. But, I just don't have that much patience Grin

Re: Guillows Supermarine Spitfire

A lecture on rubber power perhaps, for guys who have wondered for years about things like Wakefield, Coupe de Hiver etc, or Ray Malmstrom, John O'Donnell etc

Re: Guillows Supermarine Spitfire

KK Iyer sir, thank you! No more building Guillows for some time. I had this kit lying around, so....

Thanks

Thank you Shauvik! Appreciate your praise, but it's really not that good
