This small diorama will show a light field howitzer 18, caliber 105mm. Five, maybe six figures will be added tot the scene. I went for AFV Club's LeFH 18, a highly detailed kit but pretty fragile as well. I have no pics of the build. It was airbrushed and two washes were applied already.

Disaster stroke after use of biologic white spirit my friend, minutes ago I noticed that the plastic and the cyano glue started reacting, parts were just melting and bubbling. I feel pretty devastated now.

Not to sound like a dingleberry, but what exactly are you referring too? Was it a wash that reacted to the glue? Please explain Guy, I'm not following. If it's a diluted wash over the initial work I can see that happening if it's not sealed with a gloss coat. I've done that before and it trashed the entire kit.
Not good either way, sorry to hear that Bro.

That's a great kit. Bought that one some years back and hiding in my stash at the house somewhere.
