Martin and Hubert thanks so much for the information and links. Trumpeter surely should be thanked for biting the bullet and correcting the Wildcat issues. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Gus looking forward to following your upcoming Jug build. Nice choices on the AM sets to add the missing details. I’m close to finishing my Mustang with a NMF and have used both AK Extreme Metals and Alclads and both seem to work equally well. Looking forward to following your build. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Rob Wonderful work on the figure and I’ve always felt figures are a true art form of their own. I know the issues you have had with the eyes and as I look at the figure, I’m immediately drawn right to them. Being the last person who should offer any advice on figure painting, I think the ‘staring’ look is more from the white of the eyes being possibly too white and maybe a creamy white would soften the look. Brilliant painting and weathering on the Tankette .. right on the money. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Carl Nice choice for a relaxing, no stress fun build. Will be following. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Guys I have to admit, I always try and find a laser cut mask set from Eduard or other companies - makes life so much easier, especially for my old eyes. Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv looking so good and all your hard work will be paying off. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Kai Eduard leads the class on suspect colors (I buy a lot of Eduard sets) and a number of their interior sets have a blue color rather then gray or black. Sometimes working from photos that have a lot of shadows, blue becomes the dominate color, which is a white balance issue. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Phil Might just be way too much pressure having three builds going on simultaneously. Why not just finish one of the two remaining on going builds and then hit the stash for your next project? Less confusing trying to remember where you are at on each build and more enjoyable to boot. Just my two cents Keep ‘em comin Peter

Phil I've run into the same more times then I care to admit. For me, the solutions seems to be to take a few days off, walk away and do nothing more then think about went went south, why and how to fix it. I've gone back and either have redone or fixed a lot of the work on the Mustang including the paint work. Two days ago, the NMF on the fuselage kept telling me something wasn't right and I couldn't figure it out but it just kept bothering me. The more I thought about it, the more I knew something wasn't right and then the light bulb turned on 💡: there were shade streaking in the finish on some panels. My plan was to polish out those panels using the Gravity Polishing System car modelers use and then I would re-shot those panels. I was a happy camper and while I had to back track for a few days, problem solved (which I missed when air brushing the first round) and now I'm moving ahead. Just took a bit of moxie to polished out the panels as there was a chance, I could mess it up and have top start over. Keep 'em comin Peter

Thanks Gaz Completely agree - always a very gentle touch when wet sanding and smoothing any imperfections out. Keep 'em comin Peter

Phil Nice start on the wildcat Just take your time and go slow. I use to be a big advocate of washing everything in soapy water to remove the release agents but now, I tend to just wipe all the parts down with alcohol and that does the trick. For extra added insurance, I normally prime all the parts, as the primer will grip into the plastic. If finishing the JU88by Christmas is goal number one, just concentrate on her and when done, back to the Wildcat - less stress fore sure. Not knowing anything about Cricket, I'm totally lost Keep 'em comin Peter

John Nice start on the Wildcat and always thought your way of painting the small parts on the frets was the way to go. But for the life of me, I just never seem to do it. Good call on using bronze green for the interior, right on the button. Keep 'em comin Peter

Kai Nice to see you found some bench time and making nice progress on the Tornado's front office. I've often wondered why AM manufacturers do not spec out a color paint match or mix especially for the cockpit and interior areas, so everything will match, as I've often questioned their color choices. Looking forward to the first of the electronics being added. Keep 'em comin Peter

Harv Super progress - heater ducts are looking mighty good Keep 'em comin Peter
