You nailed it again. That to me is the Woodpecker of the day. I definitely have to try your method, if it is really so easy,... Cheers Rob

You guys got me here, I'm to whimpyish in that concern. I take the stuff into my lungs, at least through a protective mask and I'm concerned about my heavy metal and industrial strength plastic sealed airbrushes . I normally use H&S airbrushes like you, Danny and never had issues with them. I will give it a try with one of my beloved vintage Rotring airbrushes and a not too small nozzle. Cheers Rob

Didn't know they had barcodes applied , looking good, your build is a clinic. Cheers Rob

Thanks Carl, I know, but as I use mostly acrylics in the airbrush, I try to reduce the amount of spaying more aggressive stuff through my airbrushes. It seems there is no way around, I will use my worst airbrush for priming in the future. Cheers Rob

Great looking Emil, a clear ten on the wow-scale. Welcome to LSM and fell free to post more of your marvelous builds. Cheers Rob

That was a mighty drop, it seems, hope your rescue activities will solve the problem, good luck Cheers Rob

Fantastic looking workhorse. Welcome to LSM, the relaxed circle of glue sniffers and etch benders. Cheers Rob

Looking good, it's strange, how an ugly earthbound Horten transforms to one of the most elegant and development wise sophisticated birds with just retracting the wheels. I have to open my box, I have to open my box, …, damned, starting addiction, tremble . Cheers Rob

Great news Harv, what a relief, but remember, whiskey is counting as drugs as well Cheers Rob

I will change the subject to 'What I will not get anymore', because of recent events. Since years I'm using Tamiya fine rattle can primer and while testing others found it the best stuff on the market and the rattle can is convenient because it reduces the times I have to clean my airbrush from very aggressive stuff. These days are gone, The Spanish post told me on two occasions, that it is prohibited to transport rattle cans in our small island hopping airplanes, which carry the mail. These last two deliveries were stopped in Tenerife and returned to Germany without informing me, even the tracking was not updated, que service . Since there is no source for the primer on Tenerife for me to be bought there and brought home via ferry, I have to find other solutions. It feels like loosing an old friend and trustee, albeit a stinking one . Cheers Rob

Truly large scale, who cares about model , congrats. Cheers Rob

Love it, the treatment turned out great, the effect on the black cowlings is very well articulated. Are these rivets only highlighted or made by HGW? Cheers Rob

Looks great, at least after wiping the wash away from the unwanted areas. Ugly, whoosh, great , love that metamorphosis. Your weathering and wear look spot on. Cheers Rob

Looking good, were these reusable, they get a ton of heat every rocket start. Cheers Rob

I was waiting for you to let that happen , thanks a ton. Cheers Rob

I'm toying with this one since yesterday. Might be my new project. The kit is fantastic and will be added with some supplied and AM photoetch. In the moment I'm thinking about where to store the lightning equipment and how to install the LED's. Not exactly LS of M but worth the excursion Cheers Rob

Nice looking workplace Danny, the extra detailing pays off and it seems like a lot of the work will be visible under that canopy. Cheers Rob

That looks so convincing, that I thought you would have to use a saw, nails and white glue to assemble not a Xacto and plastic glue, great. Cheers Rob

Sweet looking bird, Dave, Nice contrast between the camo and the colorful markings and blue hood. Sometime I wonder, why they even used camo after adding al that bright bits and pieces, but what a treasure for us kit builders. Cheers Rob

You nailed that T-34 Gaz, the pose is so appealing dramatic with the tank on the verge of tripping over and the tilted turret. Some smoke from the exhaust would be the only thing added, but don't ask me how. I like the subtle modulation of the 4BO and the snow is looking very convincing to my eye. очень хорошо товарищ Cheers Rob

Thanks Phil, hopefully my dio idea works out. Cheers Rob

Hi Nige, I found the fit of the engine was ok on mine. The biggest issues I had was to fit the engine and it's mounts into the fuselage. If I remember it right you have to add the wing section and then the engine and that doesn't work because of differently orientated attachment points. The other critical part was to get all the cowlings aligned. In the beginning I dreamt about having them removeable but that idea was skipped, because I found no satisfactory way to realize that. In the end you will get a decent result with that ZM kit, but it is somehow overengineered and toyisch in detail in places. Have fun with yours, I will follow. Cheers Rob

Thanks Gus, it's so much easier to do convincing weathering on tanks. One of my next projects will be a long abandoned Japanese light tank, completely rotten and half sunken on a beach somewhere. I'm looking forward to that. Cheers Rob

Nice grimy bird. looks like it had been ages under a cruel sun. The marbling is looking spot on. If the effect is to harsh you can always mist a little over, Cheers Rob

Thanx Mike, it's great to do some armor once in a while, it's pure fun and you can hardly overdo the weathering. Cheers Rob
