Great 1 day start!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanx. It's Harry's project that convinced me quick Matchbox build can look great >>>>> scalemates.com/whatsnew.php?topic=4540023

👍 Nice speed building.

Guy Rump
Following, impressive so far 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks guys. I managed to mask the windows in the meantime, though I was afraid the maskol will melt down in that heatwave we have in Yurop currently (but it didn't luckily). 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Small update: painting finished, I'm pleased with the result (thanks to Hataka C paints). I tried to use different shades of black, hope it worked. In the meantime the decals are drying.

Cuajete
Well done!
Hataka paints are good? It need to be diluted?

Łukasz Gliński
Gracias senior. 🙂 They (I mean Hataka C range) are extremely good, like enamels, but not smelly and quick drying. Similar to Gunze C, but less stinky. Way better than Vallejo I preferred before. I dillute them 1:1 with dedicated thinner.

Thank you, Łukasz! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Now I have to find someone wanting to buy the Vallejos, Gunze Hs, Hataka As and other paints that I collected over the years😉

Gordon Sørensen
Great looking Mossie, Lucasz! There is a nice subtle difference in the black, lots good!

Lost_Erik
👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks mates, glad to read the shading on the undersides is visible 🙂 I'll upload pics of the finished build later today.

Guy Rump
Lukasz, how do you tell the difference between the Hataka ranges?

Łukasz Gliński
Finished, enjoy the pics 🙂
@Guy: While buying? Each number has a preceeding letter - A,B or C. A stands for acrylic, B for brush-optimised (I assume they're Vallejo-like) and C for cellulose ones (optimised for spraying). But if you mean painting process - C range dries v.quickly, 'overspraying' using air only makes it even faster, doesn't come off when masked and I could paint whole Mossie just in a single day 🙂

Guy Rump
Thanks for the information Lukasz, that is really helpful. Great result with the Mossie 🙂

Cuajete
Congrats, Łukasz! 👍

Lost_Erik
Looks good.

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate that 🙂
@Spanjaard: Well, not really, I bought it online not so long ago. Probably the oldest Matchbox I store is the Twin Otter (I bought it in the pre-internet era😉 ).

Spanjaard
