| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 07:16 |  | | Views : 1500 | | When the sprue starts to melt push together slightly and pull apart. Like many things "practice makes perfect". |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 07:13 |  | | Views : 1496 | | On plastic kits I've always used stretched sprue for an antenna wire. It is easily made by semi melting a piece of stretched spue over a candle. A lit cigarette works better but I quit over 20 years ago. |

| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 06:56 |  | | Views : 1538 | | Decaling is finished, next is a coat of Testors Dullcoat. |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 06:53 |  | | Views : 1518 | | The Azur provided decals are very delicate and slide off the paper faster than any decals I've ever worked with, emerse them in water for seconds not minutes. They also stick very quickly so place them carefully when sliding off the wet paper. The rudder decal is a bit short so there must be some red touch up. |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 21-Sep-14 06:40 |  | | Views : 1519 | | Spaying the model with Future floor polish (Klear in the UK) provides a glossy surface to which the decals will adhere to. |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 15-Sep-14 13:50 |  | | Views : 1666 | | The lower blue Geman light blue with a little more blue added. |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 15-Sep-14 13:47 |  | | Views : 1622 | | I am pleased with the olive green that I mixed with Tamiya flat acrylic. |
| jerry campbell | AZUR IAR-81C (1/32) | Build | 15-Sep-14 13:44 |  | | Views : 1571 | | The basic paint is finished and the cowl is in place. The spinner and blades are temporarily in place. |
