Hey Jon,
Not sure what you mean by fret or cutout. They are PE parts. I'm embarrassed that you can see the edge of the PE. I attached this part when I was at the beginning of my learning curve, and I didn't make it flush with the plastic. I've learned a lot since I started this model, but some of my early mistakes (i.e. the decals) are the giveaways that I'm pretty noob-ish.

Hi Again!
Yes it should.  You are correct in your method.  I usually wait a day or more to let the Future dry.  I am thinking the Dulcote should hide the film.  If not, I would try the Future again.  If anyone else has a comment or idea, please step in.

Hi Jake
 
sorry, my bad, fret = brass fret or PE
 
Don't worry about the edge, I thought you have done it deliberately, see attached photo of U 534

Cool pic. I feel better about my work now.

Next step for me I think is I repeat the work I've done here on the rest if the sub. I might try siara's technique of diluting white oil paint in lighter fluid and flicking this onto the sub. I love the effect he achieved. I'll try that next.

Hi Senormodeler, hi Cap,


found the propellers. As I said the two brass propellers were stored for more than a year in vinegar and salted water.

Haven't posted in a while because of other business. But I have been doing some more weathering on the u-boat.
