I was stationed at Galena for a year and I saw this photo and had the Encore Kit. New project From the start I am not concerned about Case XX vs Case X wings. This from Galena Alaska Some Resin Challenges Notice the Gap between resin and Plastic Very Nice Seat Very Nice Photo Etched Instruments Main body Will update as progress allows Thanks for viewing Bill

Nice Kit, Super Decals, Simple paint scheme Life is Good Comments Welcome Thanks for viewing

Thanks Guys The final finish was a Satin Lacquer from Testors. More flat than gloss but ended with a good finish. Future was way to glossy for 1/72nd Thanks Again

I have completed the 1/72nd Scale Revell of Germany Mirage 2000 in Tiger markings. Nice and simple build Large decal on spine was the biggest challenge. Comments welcome Thanks for Looking

Looking cool I look forward to seeing your bracing wire work..Those have kept me away from trying this kit Good Luck

The edging was rolled "Blue Tak" putty and filled in with tape to avoid overspray. I felt in this scale the edges should lean toward the harder side. In the process of decals underneath first to test the decals and sludge-wash for some of the great panel details. Photos later. Thanks for Asking

Thanks Gil This is a 1/72nd Scale Mirage...Very Nice kit with very few faults

Thanks Guys The Paint project is nice . I wish i didn't have to continue,I can only go downhill. The paint and Future came out REALSmooth I wish I could stop while I'm ahead Thanks for Looking Bill

Just a simple Out of Box project. At the Painting step Construction was very easy ,only a few challenging seams but otherwise no issues Comments welcome

Thanks I used Alclad "Polished Aluminum" over the Alclad Gloss Black Primer. Thinned Primmer way down for a smotth Finish Staring to reward me for the 3 month effort Cheers will keep this topic posted...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

B-26 is back on Track Painted With Gunze, over-coated with Future and Decals are settling down

Thanks Gil I made huge mistake and applied Testors Gloss coat over the enamel OD. :smiley13: After serious bad reactions .I am now removing all the OD paint on the upper surface. Trying Mr Color paint remover for first time..So far looks very effective .May have to publish some comments after using this stuff. I had never heard of it. Cheers

Greetings We are progressing Question Any suggestions on buffing/sanding the Paint to smooth out the finish without removing much Paint? Thanks PS Paint is still drying in Photo...strange looking Shades

Actually the front clear parts went on with almost no fit problems. I future'd them back in December and they came out very nice. My first task when building aviation is to future the clear pieces. Thanks for the comments

Thanks My plans are for faded OD on Upper surfaces and Natural Metal Below. Sissy way of handling the large amount of surface work.

This is taking quite a bit of time :smiley23: Lots of Filler around this kit And

Progress continues however challenging I know most of this engine will nort be seen ,but what the heck Some of the most challenging parts getting the nacelles to "Blend" We March ON
