nitomors, paint it on thick and leave for a good 1/2 hr, in winter it doesn't dry as quick (in summer it can dry and its a pain in the as*) and then i used a paint scraper to get off, just 1.5" flat, takes a while and you need to follow the contours especially round where your thighs go. recommend gloves and be careful as the factories use filler for small discrepancies.

did the tank this week came to put on wings and decided after looking at a few pics to follow the front ridge line down making the top wing flat i think but an impression of taking off (do i think about this too much?) its also a slightly smaller set of as well.
