I didn't know you knew any Klingon phrases! Anyway re the mould lines on soft plastic I read that you can use Tamiya Extra Thin brushed on to remove them.

Would white over grey primer have helped?

Another piece of great work.

After a coat of Klear the kit decals were applied with swastikas from Xtradecal for a machine of 2/Ku.Fl.Gr. 406 operating out of Tromso Norway in 1942. Despite using Set and Sol there was still a little silvering to be fettled as best as. All the small bits that could fall off or break, some did whilst cutting from the sprues. I blame the heavy connection points, these were repaired, and it was on with a coat of Acrylic Satin varnish after some weathering. Once dry the masking was removed and a little touching up followed to rectify bleed through. The tow bar for the beaching trolley was added, this is supposed to fit into holes in the frame but the lugs were over size so I just superglued it to the frame. Not a silk purse from a sow's ear but it looks like a 'Clog' so I'm happy.

Yes, some nice painting there.

Back to the 'Clog'. The wings and booms have been added to the fuselage, this took a lot of sanding and filler to look something like, followed by the elevators, rudders etc. When I came to fit the cockpit canopy I found that the instrument console still prevented it sitting correctly so it was 'gently' removed and sanded down until a good fit was achieved. The canopy was then masked with Tamiya tape and sponge. The area around the turrets had been brush painted RLM 73 Grun just in case I didn't get in correctly when airbrushing. These were then covered in Maskol. The undersides of the fuselage and floats along with the leading edges of the wings and propellers were brush painted Tamiya Dull Aluminium and once dry chipping fluid was applied. RLM (Humbrol) 65 Hellblau was then applied after having been thinned with Mr Color Levelling Thinner 400. I must have got the mix right as for once it didn't clog up the airbrush. Whilst I was away I trawled through the Help postings on here and read the comments re paint and thinners, which were useful, but as I didn't have any Humbrol thinners I resorted to the 400 which did the trick. The propellers and spinners have been brush painted Xtracrylix RLM 70 Scwarzgrun.

Are you waiting for the next small boat arrival? When did you get these as the Musicians set is only just stated as being released on some websites?

Nice work with the seams and I like the baking powder tip.
