Hi everyone. I made a really annoying mistake on my rear wing. I was just finishing the wing by gluing on the 'rear wing endplate (left)' and I didn't notice that I put too much glue on and it oozed out onto my finger. Unaware of this, I applied pressure to the parts to let the glue set and the glue on my finger removed a bit of paint on the 'e' of 'Vodafone'  . I've tried to take off the 'rear wing (upper)' with the damaged 'e' but the glue is set too strong. Does anyone know what tone of paint I could use to patch up the mistake because I don't think it is a standard white?  I’ve never made a model kit before but I’ve always wanted to make a model of the Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren as I am a big fan.

Hi ToffaMore (i'm sure your parents did'nt really choose that name) lol The only reason the white does look like a different shade is because it is over the pink/orange and "bleeds" through... If this is the first time you have made a model then i would not attempt to fix this as there is a bit of work to do to make it look good.. i have no idea what your finances are like but i would re-order another copy/back issue and replace the wing... Either that or i'm sure if you gave someone your address in a private email and has an airbrush etc.. Would be happy to see if they can help you out :-) Going to extend this to anyone else who may have made the odd mistake and needs help.. over a year to go to do this but as long as your in no rush depending on the amount of work to be done then I am willing to help.. there may be a small fee but this is to cover postage and materials Sorry but the full works/respray etc cannot at this time be offered Spencer

Haha  , my name is Christopher More so the name ToffaMore is a play on the last part of the name chrisTOPHER with my surname. I've managed to take off the rear wing upper part so I will be ordering a back issue to replace it. I'll try and be more careful in the future issues not to make a mistake again. Thanks for your help and your reply  . Chris
