Beautiful craftsmanship! Looks like it's ready for a mission.

I can only hope that my skill set improves over the years to do justice to such an array of highly detailed add ons!! That engine is incredible!!

Okay but how do you do the rivets??

I'm using a 1/72 B17 to practice with the Tamiya extra thin cement. After using Tester Tube Glue exclusively for years these new glues have their learning curve. How does Tamiya Extra Thin Cement work on painted surfaces?

Wow Christos your skill level way surpasses mine! Beautiful work.

What fantastic craftsmanship. Really liked the WW1 aircraft displays. Maybe some day when my skill set improves! Thanks for posting them. Ralph.

Just order a Racers Edge RCE7060 6 Piece Finger Drill set from eBay. What a great idea over the my Dremel micro drill bits. Can really see using these.

Incredible workmanship!!! Your skill level is light years ahead of mine. I've been leaning a lot from reading your posts and studying your pictures.

Thanks again for your kind suggestion concerning glues etc. Visited my local Hobbytown USA and purchased a few items that I'm looking forward to using on my next build which will be a BF110. Also received a education on washes from a very nice person working the model department.

That has to be the most impressive model build I have ever seen. It looks as if it's sitting on the hard stand waiting for it's crew!!

Hi Guy. I see you live in Guelph Ontario. My parents live on Belwood Lake outside of Fergus and I have an Uncle and Aunt along with several cousins living in Guelph!! I visit twice a year and planning a trip at the end of April!

I’m considering the purchase of a hobby air compressor and airbrushes to achieve new levels of detail and weathering I'm looking for. . My first question is this, can I use my existing nail gun compressor adjusted to the correct PSI for a hobby airbrush using an adaptor to fit the airbrush hose size? If not I have been looking on eBay and have found several compressors kits with three airbrushes from $118.00/$159.00 US. What say you??? Ralph.

This is my shop next to the train room. I have all the needed woodworking tools and use this layout bench for painting etc!

Wow fantastic job. Love the paint scheme!

Oh wow I just finished my Ju88. I may have to do another one with all that I've learned here in the past few days, lol!!

Oh fantastic to have a fellow model railroader in the mix. I just started this layout switching from DC to DCC witch I love. You are right I find my skill set constructing buildings, houses and sensory etc has helped in my model aircraft endeavors!

What do you use to bond the brass to the plastic?

Here's a picture of my train and plane room in the basement. There are other aircraft members of the ceiling Air Force hanging on the right not shown!! A also build all the buildings etc on my model railroad!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes and the info concerning glues. Like many of us here I started my modeling career at a young age with cars and planes, Tester Glue and Tester paints brushed on, lol! My skill set over the years has improved, not nearly to the level I've seen here, but I was still using good old Tester Glue in a tube with mostly good results but have seen other products avalible at my local Hobby Town USA and wondered how well the worked. I just recently purchaced a magnified headband which to say the least "has opened my eye, lol!!" I have also, thanks to this site, learned valuable techniques that I have begun to us in my modeling. Thanks again and I look forward to my learning experience here. Ralph.

Well my little hobby area isn't as grand as many others but it works well for me. I also have a full basement woodworking shop where I do all my painting.

I've been using the same tube glue since a kid. What are the better options out there? Thanks. Ralph.
