Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Turns out Tamiya masking tape isn’t as good as I thought - a bit of bleed, but it’ll touch up /polish out.

Airbrush mask is better for that type of masking, It holds it's edge properly with no bleed providing it is well seated.

Rich, I’d say it would be worth you investing in an airbrush....I borrow my sons all the time, massive difference in finish and it saves me money on paints etc etc.
Crusader is looking the business though, well done !

Tamiya make a brush-on, latex mask too. That works well.

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Hope you’re all keeping safe and well - I finally got around to testing crusader last night - just needs the propshaft lowering a tad, no video but snapped a few pics...
Also managed to get my spirit of Australia out, see attached video. This was on just under half throttle.
