Default Building Topflite Spitfire

dhable:

Nice Spit! Your Monokote job looks nice, and the plane looks authentic with the paint added. You did much the same thing I did with my P-47, monokote with paint added and then sealed with clear. The only problem I had was after a couple years and a few hot summers some bubbles and blisters appeared. Maybe their not supposed to last that long!

I noticed that you did not follow TF's directions for the blisters, but followed the proper treatment instead! I was going to do the same. The MK9 with a "C" wing only had a blister over the cannon placements, not one further out on the wing. I do not know why TF directs you to place the second blister on the wing top. There is a smaller blister underneath the wing on the MK9c, but is smaller than the blister TF provides. I have not decided to put it on the wing bottom yet. Did you put a blister on the wing underneath?
