Tips for the perfect model building result
To ensure that your Flying Bulls model looks as impressive as the originals in Hangar-7, we would be happy to give you a few tried and tested tips from our model building practice:
1. Preparation of the components
Before you glue the individual plastic parts together, we recommend washing them in mild soapy water. This removes any release agent residue from production, which significantly improves the adhesion of adhesive and paint. Carefully separate the components from the molded part with a side cutter and sand the separation points with fine sandpaper.
2. The iconic glossy finish
The trademark of the Flying Bulls is the deep blue high-gloss paint. To perfectly transfer this look to your model, you should work in several thin layers. A clean primer is the be-all and end-all. After applying the main color, a high-quality clear coat ensures the reflective finish and at the same time protects the applied decals from wear.
3. Seamless decal application
The large logos and lettering require a bit of sensitivity. Briefly soak the decals in lukewarm water and position them on the dampened model surface using a soft brush or cotton swab. A plasticizer for decals helps the film adapt perfectly to the recesses and rivet structures of the fuselage.
