I was trying to find the one I use made by AK until I noticed it's made by Ammo. It's called Ultra Glue and is what I used to replace Gator Glue. I have that around too for paper models. Never thought to use it on the plastic kind. Carl

Go to the dark side and build a Bandai Star Wars kits. Any one of them. Their fit makes a Tamiya kit look like something that was made in the last century. Or should I say the last, last century. -

Nice recovery there Kevin. I'm sure you'll be glad to get this finished. -

Tamiya 1/35 Jagdpanther (Late Version)

Coming along nicely. I've found that Mission Models paint needs a primer other than their own to stick to kit plastic. I've had it lift far too often otherwise. Carl -

More work on random started models that are on my bench. This time it was fitting the chassis to a Land Rover Defender. I'm using the recent Revell kit with a conversion from C1 Models The stock body: The conversion one. Hopefully when I'm done, it'll look something like this. -

That Panther looks fantastic. For the zimmerit, I did a wash with a dark brown to bring out the various creases and then a light drybrush. Carl -

Maybe see if you can find any pics of the actual aircraft to confirm which prop/spinner it had? -
Wow, nice pair of kits there Rob. You're really building up quite the collection of MFH kits.

I don't think so. I purchased it in the fall and it was a new item. They smell similar to AK Real Color paints. -

Nope, you're not going colourblind, although I am. Here's what it looks like in the bottle. I've never seen a paint settle like this before. Here's a different colour. The pigment separates out completely. -

A bit more work on the Horten. Did a coat of paint to see what the nose looked like. Then a coat of paint on the F-16. Finally, I tried out a new paint by Dspiae. It's supposed to be purple. I had to thin it considerably to get it to spray.
