Hi all,

here is the polish bomber with which i enlisted in the last "Bomber" campaign. I failed to finish it before the dead-line so i create this post to show the sequel ....



So, if i well remember, here is the last step i reached in the campaign, painting of the interior (with a bit of scratch-build)





After that i enclosed the fuselage and put the wings





Then i have a long time of "masking the canopies", i hate doing that ...



And then i painted the bird, with paintbrush and Humbrols, i had to pass many coats





And then i had one of my worst idea since a while....i tried a new mat varnish bomb....without trying it on a wreckage....and here was the disaster ....









Fortunatly i used it only on the intrados...so i took my abrasive sheets and removed the paint, and my putty to fill the split which appeared underneah...





And here is the new paint, and this time i used my good old Klir to protect it





cheers
nico

Hi Nicolas,

respect for Your effort in rescueing this plane after the varnish desaster. Sadly, I know this failure very well, but my last befallen plane ended against the wall. So cheers for saving this one.

Thanks a lot Gary and Oliver

Sorry to read that for yours Oliver, mine was very close to the same end .... he waited a long time in a corner on one of my shelves, away from my sight, for my nerves to be calmed !

cheers

Nico,
good job on Los. You just brought all the memories back... I build it when it was released somewhere in the mid of 80's... It is a beautiful aircraft... I got few of them on my stash, in 1/48 from Mirage. One of those days i will build one too. Good job.

Very nice build of a rarely modeled aircraft Nico. You really showed a great deal of perseverance overcoming the clear coat disaster and your finished build shows that you did an outstanding job fixing the damage. I admit that mine would very likely have ended up in the trash can.
