Hello eberybody,
in the meantime I had wanted to make the priming of the
Intertank Dummy, wherefore I had already prepared everything in the next room.
But somehow the hint of a friend in our German
Raumcon Forum regarding the "furry" appearance of the tape spiral did not wanted go out of my mind ...
And then I suddenly got the idea with the fine
Tamiya Sanding Sponge Sheet,
with which one could perhaps mitigate this effect a little bit if one would gently sand the floured ET before priming and/or afterwards with a fine Sanding sponge ...
And that then I tried it out with the
Sponge 2000, which I had recently used, while the
Sponge 3000 is still up one's sleeve.
In order to be able to assess the effect better, I only slightly sanded half of the Dummy (right).
After priming,
unsanded half,
sanded half,
upper half sanded - lower half unsanded,
unsanded half,
sanded half.
Probably the differences can only be seen more clearly at higher magnification,
therefore here again the direct comparison,
upper half sanded - lower half unsanded.
It would also be conceivable to slightly sand the
LH2/LO2 Tank only after complete priming and then to paint the entire
ET by airbrushing.
