After a couple of weeks, the de-canned paint has settled and also grew a little thicker. This will be doing me a lot of good in the coming painting work.
Before actually applying the de-canned TS85 paint, I have a final check of the cowlings to make sure no pin marks were missed and to fixed some of the gaps. And them primed the entire frame with Finisher Foundation Pink. This should help to give brightness to the red on top of it.
I have painted both sides of the end plates before hand so the white at their top part is painted first.
After the primer, the de-canned TS paint was diluted with Gunze lacquer thinner. In this way, the paints are not subjected to lengthy drying time as normal enamals.
The covereing power of this paint is good. I can easily get the color saturated without over-shooting the color into a darker tone.
The parts will be un-touched for some while until the paint dry out. In the mean time, I can work on something else like the cockpit, the engine.... or some other kits as well. XD
