Airbrush time!

Airbrush time!

Oh yeah...

 

[Alphaless]

weep

In all seriousness, I would probably try and return or refund the model. I do not trust my handiwork enough to try and correct the issue myself.

It is a link to an article. MAF wuldn't let me copy and paste it because it has more than 1000 words.

You did an excellent job repairing that model! Fantastic work

Well done - great job and hats off to you for your patience and perseverance.

It is a link to an article. I agree with you. But I explained why it wasn't an option in this case.

Haha thanks Alex, yes, I actually impressed myself a little. It is a lot of work though I don't think it is something I'll be doing every week. Maybe when I retire.

I'd ask for a refund or some kind of compensation... and they maybe I would send the plane to my local custom-maker in speed dial!

Welcome - yeah I’ve done a good few fixes in my time involving paint damage and every time it went well, I always felt a real sense of achievement! It is a lot of work, because of the scale we’re dealing with. Matching the paint colour and creating a seamless colour fill is so hard. So, really well done there

Perfect work for retirement

Maybe open up a model repairment store after retirement. That would be fun!

That would be one good way to pass the time! I'm sure there's many models out there in need of a little TLC...
