discussion Phil's 1/48 Hasegawa Typhoon Mk.Ib car door

[PhilJ]

Thinking about it. I bet the real Perspex covers went a bit yellow / cloudy over time anyway.

Yeah possibly, I've still got to remove the masking from them first without the whole thing coming off so let's see if that works first

So surprise surprise, one lot of masking came off fine And one didn't by removing half of the centre of the frame as seen in the top picture.
In highnsight I should have used some tamiya tape as framework but hey ho, some touching up to do at some point.
Was it worth it?...View attachment 296086

Exhausts and decals on. The decals weren't great to be honest and took a lot or persuading some of the little ones were reined in the end and I marked those ones with the tip of a cocktail stick and paint.
Initial panel wash also done.
