The Airfix 1/144th scale Boeing Clipper. Though I don't normally build airliner models, I realized the other day that I had quite a few "strange airliners" in my collection, and I've decided to finish some of them. It's a pretty nice kit - I built most of it while watching TV with the wife, and other than the Tamiya "bare metal silver" out of a spray can, it was largely hand-painted too. Except now that I see the photographs, I see that I did a crappy job of cleaning the wash off the aileron hinge lines. MEPS! Why do I never see such imperfections BEFORE I post the pictures?
