Well I unmasked this last Friday and was devestated. Some how even though everything was masked up tight, I managed to fog my nose glazing. I can't explain it, the mind races and the heart sinks seeing such a thing after over a years worth of work. There is no access to the nose to clean it off, so I had to figure something out.

1. Fogging Down the Side too
Well I knew the nose had to come off, if I was lucky I would get it off without damage, clean it, and install it. Just in case I ordered two on eBay to cover any inadvertant worsening of the situation.
Well, I was able to miraculously able to get the nose off without damage, clean it and reinstall it. I will be offering up at least one B-24D Nose and Canopy set on eBay soon! 🙂 The only casualty in the process was a pitot tube, which I had printed about 20 of so no worries. I just need to do a little paint touch up and I am back on track so it was a good day.

1. All Fogging Gone, Just Need to Touch Up the Paint
2. Pitot Tube Replaced
The day was made even better by the arrival of ICM's new B-26 Marauder! What a beautiful kit and I will do a review later this week. Just for fun I put a Monogram fuselage up against the ICM fuselage, a mm or so difference but you could almost glue them together.
