A story about women selling their breast milk came up on another forum. I took the opportunity to meme my grandson.

How does one create the part/program? any scan tools out there? Well, low cost scan tools that is. With all the “Missing part from Trumpeter” threads I’ve seen over the years, this could be very beneficial.

I use to tease an old employee that had a Puerto Rican flag on his desk all the time. I would ask what ties did he have to Texas or why the Texas flag. Of course him being Puerto Rican, he would get a little hot under the collar. But that was half the fun.

I just now walked to the mailbox and got my order in finally. Wow! Almost feels like cheating. These are amazing.

Getting bored waiting on coats of putty to dry on the Fisher Cougar so I decided to pull the old C-17 out of the moving box labeled “shelf of doom”. I forgot how long ago I started this kit. It has that nasty Squadron green putty on it. I started using Tamiya white at least 5 or 6 years ago. Let me see if I can straighten out these amateur mistakes I made probably 10-15 years ago.

Looks like a great time by all! But why’s that cowboy carrying around that Puerto Rico flag?

I had UPS back down my driveway for a package I was waiting on. Then he left. No delivery. I got in my car and chased him down. Apparently it was not on his truck but in his delivery computer. Got it the next day. As far as dealers go, when I retired on April 15th my coworkers that no nothing about the hobby got me a $250 gift certificate to Mega Hobby. Yea, talk about high prices and no inventory.

Eventually? 😁

Since I’m full on kit needs, I’m going to start ordering a few AM items for my stash. Just placed an order this morning for the Trumpeter A6-A interior kit since it has a fish bowl cockpit. Kind of a pricy AM accessory for a kit, but with a cockpit this large why not go for it! Now I need to figure out which other kits I have in the stash are deserving of this kind of love.

So sorry for your loss. It’s the one thing that really sucks about having pets. Last year one of my guys at work had to have his cat of 19 years put to sleep. Our pup of 13 years had get put down just before Christmas as well. Man, it was hard.

Uh oh. Another Ernie. Not another liquor swilling rabble rouser are you? Not sure how we could handle two here. Welcome to the forums! I too am lucky to finish a couple a year. Probably even less since I retired!

I can only do that around here in a very limited time of the year. Obviously winter is too cold. But our summers have such high humidity that any lacquer paints would blush like crazy and have that nasty white haze over everything. I drop my AC in the man cave down to 69 degrees and go at it!

Hey Peter, sounds like some good precautions. May I add that you leave the fan running for a half hour to an hour as the paint dries? While paint dries it’s still emitting the same chemicals as when you’re spraying them.

Wasn’t there a similar story with one about to get converted and a guy discovered is was something like the lead C-47 in the D-Day invasion?

No. I think that was the problem.

Ok, one has a more yellow hue to it, other is just green. Is this one of those “I need to know my subject better” to pick which one to use? Example, building the Fisher Cougar and soon Panther. Going with gloss sea blue. Wheel wells are green but I cannot find color photos with enough detail online for reference. Was one used in certain years? Area of the plane? Manufacturers? And why are both colors sold as “interior green” but one brand is green, another the yellow hue of green?

I’ve actually not tried them with paint. Just used one to spread micro sol liquid masking over some tape joints. So far getting tiny globs of glue in the right spot seems to be my best use of them.

I’ve got that kit. One day…

Don’t forget to put your vent in the window before you start spraying. 🤡 I was airbrushing lacquer primer on my Fisher Cougar and started to wonder why it wasn’t drawing the fumes out so good. Well, it was. But it was just blowing them back into the room under my bench. I’m such a maroon.

Oh man, that kit screams for aluminum foil skin!

Somewhere, sometime in my modeling career I managed to get a small sample of micro brushes. Went into my drawer of tools and hobby junk to be forgotten about. During my new bench build and reorganization I dug these out and put them in one of my new parts/storage bins on my bench. Pulled one out on a whim to place CA glue on a very small area. All of a sudden I have discovered a new useful tool I don’t know how I've been building without them. And now I needed to know where to find more. Amazon of course! Advertised for makeup application, car detailing, etc. . If you haven’t tried these, do it! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0QAYOL?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Now that is 100 degrees outside, I’m hiding behind my bench from the heat. Well, trying to. But having to go move the water sprinkler around all day too. If the wife is home we go float in the lake, or the hot tub since it’s cooler than the air outside. 🤪
