    Hello! First of all BEAUTIFUL build. I am so impressed with your skills genuinely.I started making models a year ago and I still have so much to learn. I wondered why you spray the surfacer is such light coats. They almost look dry to me, and dry usually means grainy and not smooth surfacer?? Is it because you don't wanna affect the panel lines by overspraying them? But how do you still manage do get such a smooth finish?

    • @scalemodelpursuit
      @scalemodelpursuit Місяць тому

      Hey thank you for the kind message! I love that you are in the learning mode, I am too. That’s actually why I named the channel the “Pursuit” because I hope to always keep learning new things. On the primer roughness, I do try to keep paint applications thin to preserve details, but I do like to go back with 1000 grit sanding sponge and smooth it out a little before painting. Same thing after each coat of paint and clear

      Hey there, thank you, and thanks for watching! I bought a Micro-Scale decal set, and the stars are all connected on one transparent decal, so it was easy to apply the decal and adjust the position with microset decal solution. Right at 13:06 in the video you can see the outline of the decal.

    • @zhuhenry9586
      @zhuhenry9586 6 місяців тому

    • @zhuhenry9586
      @zhuhenry9586 6 місяців тому

      @scalemodelpursuit Hi Sir, can you teach me how to remove the outline?Also, I am currently at the stage choosing tamiya f14A and f14D, any recommendation?

    • @scalemodelpursuit
      @scalemodelpursuit 6 місяців тому

      @zhuhenry9586 to eliminate the outline, after the decal is dry, I gently wipe the decal area with a soft damp cloth. This will remove any of the remaining decal chemical on the surface. Then I spray a couple of thin gloss clear coats over the decal. The decals I bought for this model are very thin, so the edge disappears. Tamiya decals are thicker, so when I use them I spray a few more layers of gloss clear over the decal, then carefully sand the edge away with 1000 grit sandpaper and work up to 6000. From what I’ve seen the Tamiya F14A is also an awesome kit, mostly the same as the D kit. So I think it comes down to personal preference. I really like how the engine nozzles look on the F14D so I went with the D kit. I think the D model may have more modern weapons and targeting pod included in the kit, but not 100% sure on that. I do plan on building an F14A in the future, because I really enjoyed building this one! Good luck with your build and feel free to ask questions once you get into your build. I really appreciate you watching and engaging in conversation with me.
