Hey Donn, yet more great info! I like the idea that the acrylic ink washes so easily from the enamel painted surface, would using acrylic paint(s) for various trim, etc., be similarly easy to wash mistakes away? Many thanks!
You can completely paint strip a painted model with 90% isopropyl alcohol. Without damaging the plastic. Acrylics come off faster. A bit of soaking and a soft brush will take of lacquers. I never tried on enamels. It does not damage the plastics so if you have to remove it is worth a shot.
Getting back into modeling after years away. i am now setting my shop up in the man cave down in the back yard. Cant wait to meet you some time i live up 28n about 30 mile from the BURGH. Thanks again for these videos you are the man.
Just caught this vid. Nice, at least you have the time to get it done and give good tip to the rest of us. As for the topic of this clip, why not just recomend a wash? I think that what you're making by the thinning process. I have black, grey and a funky green washes. The run just like you are getting at. After appying these, in my experience, you follow with a Q tip a lightly rum over the grill (in this case) to get the "ribs" of the grill bright again. I also you a super glue. Love both of the examples you show. My go to however is Henkel's Loctits super glue gel. I like the gel control factor. Peace!!
A great tip on the ink. Learned something new again. I use the same type of CA glues but there are times I need the parts "welded" together. That there Tamiya glue will "weld" the plastic and not just be a barrier between the two parts. Like gluing two halves together. I won't that bond to be stronger.
Old Man thank you again for the shows. I know previously you had recommended platstruct bonding over super glue due to fogging etc has that now changed and you fell super glue is the best from further testing now ?
It's not possible to use it incorrectly as it's pre mixed. You've been lucky is all, unless that Lacquer is cleared before hand it'll soak up anything laid over it. Depending on the color you may not have noticed the remains of the panel liner.
@@animalyze7120 you can use it incorrectly and I'll explain why, he mentioned that he attempted to wipe it off right after he applied it. Thats wrong the correct way to use it is to dot it in one spot, let it flow in the panel, and the let it dry, after it's dry you clean of the residue with ether Tamiya X20 or (my personal favorite) lighter fluid.
Great tip again for this old man to make me a much better builder of trucks and trailers I enjoy doing. Thank you.
Great advice- thank you!!
As always great advice that many will not take to heart but the few of us who do become better for it! Great video!

Hello friend. Amazing work. You know what kind of plastic is the body shell?
Old Man thank you again for the shows. I know previously you had recommended platstruct bonding over super glue due to fogging etc has that now changed and you fell super glue is the best from further testing now ?

Why don’t you use or recommend using an extremely fine tip marker pen for the door lines and such?
The world your looking for is WICK,it wicks it's way around

Good tips but I think you probably used the Tamiya panel liner incorrectly. I primarily use lacquer paints and have yet to have a problem with it.
