I'm having the same issue with the yellow on my sea king onto the fourth coat and it's still not looking good.

Pete,
even though I've stirred this thoroughly, it still seems like the paint hasn't really mixed properly, and you end up with thick & thin areas. Not that I'm happy that other people are having problems, but relieved that it's not just me!

Approaching the finish ( of the red paint, as well ) - I nearly forgot that the canopy framing was red as well...............
There are still patches that seem to refuse to tale the paint!!!!!

Now that is it with the red! only a little bit in the pot, not enough for another coat!!!
Anti glare panel to be done, then decals......................

Decals on - sadly, they're a little matt - not good against the gloss!
I'll add the undercarriage & canopy, etc - then this will be finished - just as well, I'm not enjoying a build that I'm not happy with!!!!

Hi Dave
This has fought you all the way. I have just posted on Pete L's thread that the user friendliness of the Starter Kit paints is very variable. My black is nice but the metallics look like they will be problematic. Matt decals on a gloss paint is always going to be difficult.
Well done for getting it over the finish line. As I said earlier God help someone without your experience who bought this as an introduction to the hobby.

One good thing about the decals - they are opaque enough not to show the red airframe through the white of the roundels.

Well persevered Dave!

I am almost embarrassed to finish mine as it's so shoddy looking it's just sat there laughing and taunting me.
But well done for preserving with it.Comment
