Hmmmm. No.
-
They’re saying it won’t affect production, and they were insured, so it’ll be ok. A minor hiccup I expect. It might affect some down market manufacturers and end users worse, such as kitmakers, etc.

Looks like one firefighter taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Being kept for observation and should be released tomorrow. No other injuries.
-
Some beautiful scenery and architecture, interspersed with a few remaining ubiquitous old Soviet era apartments. I thought most would have collapsed years ago. Those things were such a stain on a beautiful old town.

I pulled these off of farcebook. It looks like a cold, wet. Miserable December day in the Czech Republic today. I can feel the chill to my bones coming through those pics.

Not only for us, but I think an even bigger part of Eduard is R&D and supplier of PE for other Eastern European kitmakers. This will bite deep for a bit, although maybe there’s enough stock around the world to see us through for several months till they’re up and running again. I usually do one big Eduard order once a year from CZ, and anything else I need in the meantime, I get it from Sprue or Victory.

This is from Eduard’s own release, folks. Nobody hurt, but they lost their storage warehouse today. It looks like the firefighters have it contained, but it’s a bad fire. Dear friends, Today, unfortunately, there was a fire in the Most building, which we rent for our warehouse. Fortunately, no one was injured. Our production is based in our own building at Obrnice. We immediately started looking for replacement premises so that we could restore the normal operation as soon as possible. We estimate it'll take a number of weeks. Until further notice, we are not able to process orders via the e-shop. It will be great if you will support us via your retailers and distributors. Thanks everyone for your support. Last but not least big thanks to fire fighting teams on site today! PS: we postpone release our Christmas video for few days CZ: Vážení přátelé, dnes bohužel došlo k požáru v mosteckém objektu, který si pronajímáme pro náš sklad. Naštěstí nikdo nebyl zraněn. Jak řada z vás ví, naše výroba se nachází v Obrnicích. Ihned jsme začali hledat náhradní prostory abychom dokázali obnovit normální chod firmy co nejdříve. Odhadujeme, že to zabere řadu týdnů. Až do odvolání nejsme schopni vyřizovat objednávky prostřednictvím e-shopu. Budeme moc rádi, když nás budete podporovat nákupy u svých obchodů. Všem děkujeme za podporu. A velké díky patří profesionálním i dobrovolným hasičům, kteří na místě zasahovali! PS: zveřejnění Vánočního videa odkládáme o několik dnů

Neat trick, Mark. I like it. I’ve tried, say on a solid OD aircraft, to paint the entire thing the main color, then mist a slightly lightened shade of many n in the middle of panels, followed by a slightly darkened shade in depressions. It’s worked well for me, some iMessage brilliantly, but I’m inconsistent with it. I’ll give your method a try on my 109 test mule.

We’re all here to help if we can. Try this: Instead of “black” use a very dark grey. Black on a model often shows way to stark, and you can get away with graying it out some. Real tires are more grey than black as well. I use Gunze RLM66 and mix it with Leveling Thinner to airbrush. RLM66 to me hits black perfectly in 1/32.

Aaaah, ok.. around here if we get flies in a range vent it’s usually because of grease in the exhaust. But good to know.
-
yep. Post it up, John, after all, it is a LARGE scale model.
-
Gazz, like Krow said, flies are attracted to rotting protein, so is it possible you have a buildup of animal fat inside from the grease fumes and splatter coming off the range? Flies need a food source and I'd be going on a search and destroy mission until I found them. They don't just "happen". That said, nothing bothers me more than "indoor mosquitoes". I once traced them to the guest bedroom toilet bowl. It never got used so the water served as a nice pond for the little buggers.

Modulating a solid color

Thanks Harald! It’s certainly an overlooked part of North Atlantic defense. I still marvel at how the operated jet fighters and Trackers off those postage stamps. Hey must have been in hog heaven when they trapped onboard the Big US carriers.
-
It’s amazing now long lived the Avenger turned out to be. They soldiered on into the early 60s, and then had new leases on life as mapping aircraft and firefighting aircraft. An overlooked design. Too pedestrian for some?
-
Up until the 1970s. And the bleed air on the Felix was amazingly hilarious!
-
Mostly operating from Magnificent and Bonaventure. And of course Shearwater. Trackers, Avengers, Banshees, Sea Furies, Seafires, H-19, Bell 47, and HUPs Cool pics. Big aircraft, little carriers. Some very interesting modeling ideas here. If you have some unique and/or seldom seen pics, let’s see them and get the juices flowing. Nationality unimportant, cool pics very important

That must qualify as the understatement of the decade
-
I’ve heard it a few times. Pocket Chopper, and little bird lots though.
-
Hubert, good to see I’m not the only fan of resin kits.
-
I actually prefer the ZM Mustang to the Tamiya kit. It’s got the British Mustang nailed perfectly!
-
Yep. Dreadnoughts plus Bismarck, Hood, Arizona, and Yorktown.
-
Carl, I love the Little Bird. Fascinated by the whole Blackhawk down fiasco. What a cluster that was.
-
I’m not quite that bad. Not even close, but like everyone here, I’ve tried to consolidate the stash into what I really want to build someday. Mostly all high end stuff that we all lust after. Not just whatever’s around. So its 95% 1/32 scale, a few Airfix 1/24, and a smattering of 1/48 large or unavailable in big scale kits. There’s still about 50 Wingnut kits in the closet, plus all the SH, and full resin kits.
