on the mold when they formed it.
If your not going to use it, try to sand them and put a 2k clear coat on, makes them much more shiny and elemenates imperfections in the surface. Only if the bubbles are realy high it might be a problem.

It's for a resin 1/72 A-12 Avenger (A-6 Intruder successor, cancelled) by Anigrand. Here's it sleeping in its box between my building spurts.
The vacforming was done with the cheap Chinese vacformer that you see all over Ebay. We bought it together with a part of our modeling club, and it's rotating between the members. The results are generally nice, much better than anything I've made before using 'improvised' techniques, like plug forming.
