Certainly is. I like the way you can mask up, leaving fingerprints all over it…..go for a coffee before spraying, and while you are away it flows, smoothing out the surface and dripping off the bottom of the model……really weird. Effective though.

Told you it dripped if you left it LOL…..
Blimey!!
I take it you were expecting that,so had a contingency plan to sort it out pronto!!
Yes Andy. It actually comes off clean and the drips just come off the cardboard for re-use.Blimey!!

Here’s the proof….
Only one slight issue where I never patched the coverage properly…
Quick touch up there and Robert’s yer relative……
Amazing and strange stuff. It works so that's what counts.
Coming on nicely Tim!
Done it before Andy…..I was a bit less sure of myself when I did the spitfire a few weeks ago :tongue-out3:Nice one....
... I just KNEW you'd have that scenario covered
Works very well Mike. I can see me retiring my blue tack now,…..
Cheers Andrew
Looks great Tim :thumb2:

Just a non-Newtonian fluid Geoff…….invented in America during WW2 as a potential replacement for natural rubber apparently….it’s generic name is silly putty, by the way.

Lovely stuff to work with , I like the way you put in back into the tin covered in paint, have a look a couple of days later and it's nearly all black and flat .
Looking good Tim .
Looking good Tim .
So that's where it came from!!
One of my favourite demos of non-Newtonian fluid was one I saw on the comedy series The Big Bang Theory.
They got some DIY fluid.... flour and water I think, or at least something like that... And put it on cling film over a loud speaker and then watching it respond to to the music.
Very nice work on the camo Tim.
Cornflour probably….not seen that episode though. Ian muddle and I discussed custard as a non Newtonian fluid somewhere. It behaves the same way if you make it out of the right ingredients :tongue-out3:
Cheers Ian, starting the stripes today……
aaaaand…..we have stripes…….
Not perfect, but close enough for something that was hand painted prior to combat. Minor touch ups needed to eliminate overspray, and a minor repair to the rudder aerial rod, which I knocked off when masking for the stripes…..then gloss varnish prior to decals…..getting there at last!

Great job with the stripes Tim. I agree, they are more accurate being a bit rough :thumb2:
