  1. Rob Nice work on applying the X22. These days, I tend to use both X22 and LP-9 and thin both to approximately: 1 pt clear to 1.75 or 2 pts of self leveling thinners and in multiple coats. As the very thin coast build up, the surface becomes super smooth and glossy, I have had the same experience as you in the past and my solution was the same as your, a thin application of SLT's, blow dry with the AB and all was fine.
  2. John Beautiful cammo work and nothing like shooting with enamels - sure wish they would make a comeback here in the states. Tamiya's fit: amazing. Fingers crossed the Aires bomb bay set arrives today.
  3. Carl Nice start of the LED lighting and the perfect solution to the fit issue - results look spot on. Sometimes it hard to realize the chosen paint color was not good and start over but the new choice seems to work well. Nice work on the louvers.
  4. Carl Looking so good and having to deal with decal issues right at the end of the build. Agreed, just leave the decals now as is, and bring her across the line.
  5. Kurok Thank you for the link - some very impressive work.
  6. Rob WOW, gorgeous work! WNW details are amazing and your treatment: brilliant. Chipping is looking mighty good as well.
  7. Sure hope so, as I've also followed a number of builds and none seem to have had anywhere near a gap that large.
  8. Thanks Carl, much appreciated. The past few days of bench time have been devoted to finishing and weathering the landing gear and as well, applying the zillion of Tamiya decals for the loadouts - easily a good weeks' worth of work ahead.
  9. Jeff Spot on. Just an incredible build and there isn't an update that doesn't include at least one mini tutorial or how to!πŸ†
  10. Thanks Rob, even at my tender old age, I'm always learning and try to pass it on in my build threads. I've also been on the learning end 100 times more when following builds on the forum.
  11. Looks awesome for sure. πŸ‘
  12. Scott So sorry to hear this and my prayers are with you both. I'm a cancer survivor and I know what you both are going through. Just be there for Mary and the two of you will win the battle together. .
  13. Carl Sounds very intriguing. If you can, just PM the address and I'll look them up online if they are still available. Much appreciated.
  14. Gus Glad it's working out and everything is under control. Just seems with a 3D resin kit, you shouldn't have had some of the fit issues you are experiencing.
  15. Rob Sound like the way to go. I tend to thin my X22 1 pt X22 to 2 pts Self Leveling thinner and after a few coats, a smooth glossy surface starts to come into play. I'll take a look at their website and the vendor I use here in the starts for parts and maybe I'll get lucky.
