The silly putty looks like the way to go for this type of camo, easy to apply and take off. Looking forward to seeing the edges it leaves when you remove it.

Had disaster on the bench !st snapped of aerial, 2nd dropped it knocking off both front window hatches & the windows are now inside the hull,3rd the paint job is crap (if I could a/brush it would have worked). This the result.

More or less when I dropped it it was still tacky & moved the silly putty & the second coat run under the putty so decided to completely strip & start over :eeek: .Painting camo by hand is hit & miss in my book :wall:

Wow sorry that happened, at least your a hobbyist you can fix it, but I don't know you, but if that would had happened to me, I would have had to calm down, and I mean for sometime, or I would have beaten it to death, lol. But you got this. Good save so far.
