WIP: Tamiya JACCS Accord.

here it is! WIP. I've now assembled most of the chassis, but I'm having major issues with the body. I used Tamiya Masking Tape to paint the windows, I tried to remove the bleeding paint away with paint thinner and Q-Tips. It does work, but then it smears. same thing with the accent washes, I didn't use enough thinner. then I tried Windex with a rag , and it worked pretty well!

Good thing you were able to remove the smudged paint! I had the same issue to a much lesser extent with an R33 I'm working on.
Next time, try burnishing the edges of the tape with a toothpick before painting, and maybe spray a coat of clear before the black to 'seal' any spots in the tape where paint could seep under.

I also see some faint mold lines still in place. Removing them will greatly improve the overall look of the model.

:wave:

thanks for the tips!

If anyone still cares, Ive finished it, and I've had a few decal problems but it looks alright! I'll get some photos soon.
