I wasn't sure spending $35 on John Burns' book was worth it because it probably doesn't cover many OT models.

If you use the tinlets, any that have been left too long can go matt or even cloudy on drying. If the stuff at the bottom of the tinlet is stodgy and looks quite white, you could be in for trouble. I used the satin from the tinlet to apply a final coat to wargames figures and often had troubles with the stin. However, on WWI planes, I use satin from teh spary can. Always comes up a nice satin finish, but I guess we don't have the kind of climactic conditions in the UK that can bugger this stuff up. However, it never seems to dry properly. It's dry to the touch but if you hold the model for a few minutes it feels a little tacky. Or is that just my sweaty, greasy palms?

I am not very happy because the masked paint demarcation line creates a visible 'step'. But after sealing all with Tamiya Clear it's better now. I used pure water soluble Lifecolor paints which seems to be nearly identical to those MisterKit paints. They work, but it's not too much fun. You have to blow out the airbrush constantly to prevent clocking. For that fine work alcohol based acrylics are better, I think. BTW Tamiya Clear, thinned with Tamiya thinner, was dry and fingerprint proof within 24 hours! The Gunze coated fuselage ist still prone to take fingerprints! After 10 days...%&§"!!

Todd writes: >How's the Halberstadt going together? That's the >Passchendaele kit isn't it? I write: The Halberstadt is going together fine. No, unfortunately it's the Pegasus 1/72 offering. My family drew a line in the sand this last Christmas. "We never see the kits we give you completed. So, you better finish some of these or no more plastic or resin presents." As a result I am in a hurry to finish one before my birthday in April. I made a large goof with the kit though. I checked in the Halberstadt Fighter book to see what the control cable arrangement was in the cockpit. I found a nice diagram of the control stick and foot pedals. So I rigged up six tiny wires inside the cockpit. I smugly took pictures to send to my friends (both of them). Then I closed her up. Once I had done that I realized the control stick and wires are supposed to exit out the bottom of the cockpit and the wires re-enter farther aft. Doh! So, I'll add the external wires, but the interior has a few extra wires. Oh well! The Passchendaele kit is awaiting proper treatment once the Gotha is done. I'm trying to keep my 1/48 resin projects down to one at a time. Later!

I reckon that when they went to the "Super" formulation they moved the satin to the left on your graphic. Now, that isn't a problem, so long as you know what you have in the can. Incidentally, I thinned it fairly heavily and sprayed two light coats. Worked a treat except for being a little less glossy than I wanted. I'll probably try some elaborate masking of the fuselage (where it looks dead right) and redo the wings with another coat doctored with a bit of gloss.
