Global Scale Modeller

I have recently finished a mustang 1:72 and used a wash at the end it is the humbrol one i have laid a coat on after 2 coats of klear and used cotton buds and white spirit to clean up the wash but it seams that this as taken the main paint off as well in parts maybe it is me doing something wrong any advise will be much appriciated.

Did you paint it with acrylics or enamels? If it was enamels then that will probably have eaten through everything. Did you leave the clear coat long enough to dry?

Right from Humbrol webpage...

quote
The washes can be applied to Humbrol Enamel and Acrylic paints.
If using non-Humbrol product
we always recommend testing before applying to your model.

They are advertised as being ENAMEL products...

The big question is !!!
What did you use as your Thinner ??? to wash the *Humbrol wash off !!!

Hope it was a Mineral spirit ? nothing stronger I hope ?

The Future should have resisted the Wash and later the Mineral spirit (turpentine) if it had Dried for over 24 hrs...?

Did you cover the entire model with Klear *Future* ?? if you have missed a spot ? then the Enamel paint *Base coat
could have been reactivated by the wash and subsequently by the Thinner you used to clean all that up !!
I say could !!! since I don't know what else you used on the model !

Sorry for your mishap! but I am sure it can be fix !
it happens !

Thanks for your help It was painted in acrylics and the klear was left for a good 12 hours and used turpintine to take the was off maybe i rubbed to hard and too much anyway will know for the next time as this was my 1st attempt
