Thanks 😀

Thanks, I'm pretty sure that I'll strip the chrome off the parts first, but I'd like to know if I can just go over the chrome. That might be a better plan.

Like the title says.....which chrome is best for airbrushing? I recently purchased a couple of large-scale kits that have chrome exhausts...they will have seams to clean up. I thought it best to strip the chrome and paint after dealing with the seams Any suggestions will be appreciated😀 Paul

Right now, this thing looks promising. I like how you can get the drill into position and then start it going unlike my grinder. I found that the clockwise button is easier to use than the more forward "on" button and direction can be changed easily. A variable speed option would be great, but that, I guess, would just complicate things. Bit changing is by a twist chuck like Dspiae's manual drill and Is relatively quick. Keep in mind, I haven't used the "Spin-Lock" bits yet, so I don't now the full story of this thing yet. We'll see if the regular bits slip or not. I do a lot of work on tiny engines, so I went for the screwdriver bit set. I'll see how useful that is when it comes. ** please note: I found it necessary to use the supplied charging cord. The C type USB cord I normally use could not be used because the tip wasn't long enough.....I don't know if this is case with all cords.... The longer tip is the supplied cord.

Got this today from Amazon...... From Dspiae, their ORBIT ELECTRIC DRILL (AT-EDO1). Meant to be used with their "Spin-Lock" bits. These bits have a pair of flats milled on the back end of their shanks that engage with a slot within the drill...to prevent slippage. I found that Dspiae's regular (3mm) shank drill bits work just fine. I did order some of the new bits and some screw driver bits and adapter. They haven't come yet. I also have an adapter, that I bought previously, to allow me to use drill bits with smaller shanks. The drill has controls that allow it to turn clockwise and counter clockwise and a lock so that it can be turned Manually This drill turns at a slower rate than the Dspiae grinder. This drill should be useful for easing the tedium of drilling Friulmodel tracks. It measures: 18x110 mm. I'm impressed by the quality of this product.The exterior is anodized aluminum and it is very well-made. I also picked up some Extra Thin (3 bottles) and some Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner (2 bottles).

Sorry to hear. A tough decision to make certainly. I mentioned my Mother's dog, Mikey in my last post. After 18 years Mom had to make the same decision. Mikey was very ill and suffering. Relieving that suffering was a merciful choice and the only correct course of action. I wish you the best in recovery from this sad event.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks...... I bought a bunch of bottles about a year ago. I used some recently on my Tamiya H39...worked well.

This just came....... From Das Werk, It's their Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Ausf.A in 1/16 scale (DW 16019). Much of this kit is newly tooled having new parts differing from their earlier 250/1 kit.. BTW Andy is having some kind of sale on 1/16th scale kits week, mentioning it in his last video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I68IBW1rDmc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=culNihSl57I https://www.scalemates.com/kits/das-werk-dw16019-sdkfz-250-3-ausf-a--1697765 I have both of Das Werk's 250 kits and their 251 half track. They all look like nice kits. The 251 looks to be more complicated. This kit has 5 decal choices and two figures; a driver and The Desert Fox himself.

Try Walthers Solvaset very strong decal softener. Works well on Tamiya decals.

I really don't do anything in 1/72......... Perhaps if some model manufacturer offered an aircraft carrier in 1/72 ? Now That would be impressive😀

Do these decals work with decal softener? I not familiar with the carbon fiber decals. Nice job BTW😀

Looks Great Rob😀

Very nice😀

I'm familiar with squirrel zoomies...It can get bad, but I never had that happen...... Yet.

Oh, this will be good😀 Will be following!

Nice haul Carl😀 Never heard of a Clear White paint before......What will you use it for?

Nice work so far😀 I remember building the Revell kit long ago. Now, if you really want to go big.....Obnoxiously big......you can build the Hobby boss version in 1/18 scale. Now wouldn't that be fun😀

Sad to hear Kevin. We went through the same with our dog Mikey a few years back and I know how bad it can be. So sorry.

Nice work Kevin😀

Nice job John😀

Got this today.......Despite coming from Amazon, this model's box actually Was Not delivered damaged😀 A miracle? A milestone? Call it what you will.......I'm very pleased with Amazon for a change. From Tamiya, Their Suzuki GSX1100S KATANA In 1/6 scale.

I built a few in my younger modeling days.......I'm replacing some that I built. The finished models can be a bit fragile and all my old ones are gone. I have a couple of the 1/12 kits in my stash and they are probably a better choice for displaying. I've looked at their latest Honda Africa in 1/6 . It looks like an amazing kit😀

This came today.....It's Tamiya's Honda CB 750F in 1/6 scale. (16020)😀 Needless to say the box was damaged; Badly packaged and carelessly shipped . The contents, however are just fine .

Yes, I like looking at what the "guest" viewers are looking at after looking at the newest posts.......You can find good stuff that way😀

Can anyone inform me what the difference between the white label Tamiya cement is compared to the Extra thin We are all familiar with, and why isn't the white label, or for that matter their ABS cement sold in the U.S. ? Just Curious🤔
