@Big s - Pretty much right away after applying it. Usually with a small slightly moist q-tip or just a moist finger.

@Urashiman - Temba, his arms open --- LOL -- I see what you did there!

Regarding the Vallejo Putty, I LOVE it. It's the only one I use anymore. Tried the Perfect Plastic Putty, Tamiya, others, and I like the Vallejo the best. It's not meant to fill the grand canyon or anything, but very small seams. Yes, there is a little shrinkage sometimes, but I always expect to have to add a little more to a problem area. You really don't have to sand it unless you just feel the need to. Apply, gently wipe off any excess with a moist q-tip and you're good to go. YMMV.

Flory's Grime all over and panel line wash got done and decals on the A-10 were started over the weekend and went down great. Apparently 2004 Academy decals are much better to work with than much much newer Academy decals.. (The more modern F-18's were just very very difficult I think due to the much much thinner film maybe?) whatever, these go down like a dream! 😀 Pressing on!

I'd like to add to the 1/72 aircraft updates finally... Academy A-10 painted up over the weekend, and all ordinance assembled and painted. Light Ghost Grey on the bottom and Dark Ghost Grey on the top more or less, layed down in light coats over the white on black mottling, the two greys are suppose to look more pronounced than they came out but mehh, whatever, all the online pics look like it's all about the same shade in the real world. Forgot what a pain 1/72 ordinance is.. Haha. Hopefully clear coat decals and detail painting this weekend! 😊

Decided to pull an old friend out of mothballs early this morning..... you know... something small.. LOL. Man, let a few years go by and you totally forget about how even an 11 year old Bandai mold just snaps together perfectly, no drama at all. Amazing engineering and tooling. Not a drop of glue yet....

Seriously!

I'm hoping they give a bundle option on the preorder, the Legioss AND TLEAD together!

Hahahahahhahhaa!!!! 😂

R.I.P. sir.

Marbling done and base coat of Tamiya Lacquer Light Ghost Grey down yesterday.

1/72 Academy A-10 is FINALLY getting a primer coat. Terrible fitting kit. Modded for gear up.

That's amazing. I wish I could see how he painted and weathered it to look like that.

@pengbuzz - BROH!!! Man, that's AWESOME! Very cool! Great job! 😃

Anyone else think this is a big middle finger to Bandai for not EVER giving us the last two Destroids in HM-R??? Because from where I'm sitting, I'm all in for the missing two in 1/100 scale to finally have all of them in more or less the same scale!
