It dried nice & flat, but there are tiny white spots in the finish. It is not dust, I think it is large pigments of the flat base. Any way to fix this easily? I will have to strain my mix next time if it is too large pigment particles, but will another coat make these white spots go away, or do I have to sand them off?

You then double my pleasure by admitting that you mix your own colours, something that very few on the List will do. (It causes me great amusement to read queries such as 'can someone advise me of the correct colour of MvRs left sock, and is there an exact match in any of the paint ranges?) My only complaint is that Citadel replaced the beautiful white flip top bottles with the terrible black screw tops. Regarding brushes, Citadels own brand is useful but do not last. My own favourites are made by A.S.Handover (give them a ring on 020 7359 4696 and ask for a catalogue), they do nothing other than make brushes and do it very well.

There was an attempt of that in the Aero-Skin models, wich as you say, failed to portray such effect.

Eduard already complain that 1/72 WWI makes them no money. But it's a known phenomenon, is it not, that the companies fall over themselves to bring out competing kits, and they don't always go bankrupt. So there must be a big enough market for 5 million Fokker Triplanes or DVIIs or Albatrossen of wildly varying quality (although my vote would be for anyone who gets off their a**e and releases a Sopwith Camel.

It's happened to me, too, and it is, I believe, a case of over-aged flat. The flattening agents bond together while lying at the bottom of the bottle and create chunks. Throw it out and get a fresh bottle. I don't think over-spraying is going to help, and suggest a very gentle attempt at rubbing out the problem with fine emery cloth or even paper towel. Then re-spray the (new) flat. It's a real aggravation, and I no longer keep the clear flats too long on the shelf. Hope that helps...

As others have said, with difficulty. It dries very quickly and you can't go back over it once it starts to go off - if you do, you get little bits of skin forming in the paint. I only use the transparent colours for wood grained fuselages to give a deep stained effect. I'm just building MvR's Albatros and I found the best way to brush it was in small areas at one go, letting each dry before going on to the next. But this is easy for a panelled wood fuselage, where any slight variations in colour or coverage are a boon. I think it would be tough to brush paint a whole plane in this stuff, but then that seems like a "manly" thing to do :-) Cheers, Nigel R ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 14:17:49 -0500 From: "Thomas Solinski" To: Subject: Re: Formation of RFC Message-ID: <000a01c1e256$bcbaad20$9eb40c44@ok.cox.net> Well it WAS 47 years ago that Mr. & Mrs. Francis J.
