Hello,
I am using Future (floor polish) for long time on models with great satisfaction...
My recent project is Fokker EIII by Flashback (old Eduard I guess) - an old kit with some rough plasticsof older type. I have done a very nice job, even showing transparency of linen material and it looks really nice. But, right now, I have noticed that I have cracks on the wings (structure looks like branches/veins). What a shock! My model shop warned me, but I have never had any problems. Though, this is the first model which has this old plastic material. Before, I was working with newer plastic type.
What is going on there?
I usually use Gunze acrylic paint, than seal with Future (let it dry for 2-3 days at least).
The cracks occurred after 1 or 2 weeks!! It looks like the material (plastics) has been eaten - not just the paint crack. Even Putty has shrinked a little (am using Italieri / Model Master).
What to do?
