You know those later builds that are going so well, that you think, this is gonna be my best build?
Right at the moment, I have one of those on my bench, the Gruman F4-F from Airfix, this is being a treat, had some issues with the cockpit but apart from that, all going well. Paint worked as a treat. Decals even after I have placed in the bin(yes I have bined the decals) went really well on the aeroplane, weathering very light and looking a treat. But, as always, disaster strikes again. I have opted for the folded wings option. Started glueing the first one and all was good. Applied the glue on the triangle on the plane, placed the wing and have held it with a clamp, so far so good. Left it for a day drying and on the next day went for glueing the second one. Same procedure as above but when I removed the clamp nasty surprise arrises, the glue runner under the clamp leaving a nasty mark on the paintwork.
So, now is back to the sanding and painting.
Will try with a 3000 grit sandpaper and paint on top again, but not sure if it will go down well.
Stay tuned to further developments.
Thanks
