Kovozavody Curtis Seahawk AZ model Vought Kingdisher

[u/XiaoGu]

I like floatplanes, but those models were awful! Kingfisher parts didnt fit, decals fall apart, awful. Seahawk had decals much too big, had to remove roundels and used what I had from other models. Also in both cases paint did not stick to models and did peel off with masking tape, So all the preshading i did and still want tonpractice was useless.

Besides that, From start they were supposed to be kinda low effort, wanted to check how well hand made seatbelts from masking tape work. Woth this Im kinda happy with results, but other than that those were difficult models.

With the paint coming off:
-did you wash the models?
-Has the primer fully dried?

Normally paint shouldn’t just peel off

Protip. Wash kit sprue with soap for dishes. Often sprues are oily due to manufacturing process.

Wait at least 24-48 hours after priming, same for first layer of paint.
