Looking great Rob😀 -
Picked this up about a week ago..... From Harder & Steenbeck, it's their INFINITY CRplus 2024 Solo O.25mm Titanium. Well,.....What can i say? This thing is gorgeous. I've been very happy with my Iwata brushes but I've Heard good things about this brand and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I hope to give it a try this weekend. BTW......this was the inspiration for the Trigger swap for my Iwata. I liked the wide trigger pad on This brush. I hope this sprays as well as it looks😀

Thanks Carl....I'm very pleased with new Trigger. You wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting this thing!!!!! Sent from Chicago to Beach Park Illinois, (43 miles) It took a week for UPS to send it. multiple rescheduling of delivery dates (5). On Monday I watched tracking all day, only to have the driver say "It's not on the truck". On the phone with them multiple times. Major headaches.

Nice Work Carl😀 Sorry to hear about your shoulder......Hope you recover soon. -
Added an upgrade to my Iwata Hi-Line HP-BH today....... A new trigger/lever .......Usually found on Iwata's Custom Micron series Iwata part I-545-4. This is wider, square-shaped, with larger surface area than the old one. Very comfortable.

Got this today😀 Yes, another Tamiya kit, OOP and not the easiest kit to find......Usually found in Thunderbirds markings. It's Tamiya's Republic F-84G THUNDERJET (61060) in 1/48 . You see this boxing with standard USAF markings less often. I was glad to find it.

Hoping the best for your recovery, and yes, it's best all who can should get themselves checked.

Yes, it was very nicely done. I have an Aber Barrel ....somewhere. I looked at an PE set for it, Aber, I think, but the instructions looked a little too fiddly for my aging, shaking hands, to accomplish. What I would like, is a fuel line set for the side tanks.....but always out of stock or located overseas.so, I'll try to do some light weathering.... I mean, I don't think these things were really used much. I'll try to make parts look a bit rusty, chipped, and dirty. No fake mud however....I hate fake mud if poorly done!

At one time, I collected guns and had a number of black powder cartridge rifles and carbines. I even had a a French Model 1866 Chassepot rifle, a kind of needle fire, early bolt-action rifle that used fully consumable nitrated paper cartridge It was fun making the cartridges for that😀 I also had Martini-Henry rifles, Trapdoor Springfields ,Remington rolling blocks, a 1879 lee rifle, ,Mauser 71/84 rifles, a Snider Enfield Carbine, a dutch Beaumont, Swiss Veterli, Italian Vetterli-Vitali, a Smith carbine, and a Peabody carbine.

Not a fault of USPS.....but of the seller. Waited 4 days for item to ship.......then Emailed the seller. "Oh, I'll get it sent out monday". Well, he made a shipping label and has not bothered to get it sent off " Usps not in possession ". I hate when sellers do this. I ordered (paid) For this item a week ago. When I used to sell on EBay I took the item to the post office moments after the item sold. I even brought the item to the PO sometimes by bicycle! I was working full time during this period. I know people can be busy.....this includes customers! Ok...I feel better now.
