That's looking very nice there Dave. The fuselage /wing join looks to be a nice fit.

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.

Like Paul said, some amazing work and techniques. Carl

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

I wonder if the matter finish is being affected by temperature and/humidity. I've had matte get a frosty look when it's too humid out.

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.

Nice decal work there Rob. That's a lot of rivets.

That'll buff out.

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.

That's a funky looking van there.

Great job on that spiral Dave.

A bit more work on the Horten. Mostly CA and filler to smooth the radar fairing in better.

Nicely done door. What dust shield?

Rob, I'm thinking more postwar which would have been a grey interior. Although interior green could have been an interesting choice.

Cockpit is finally on and more putty work on the nose.

Bandai's newest kit just came out and after having watched a couple unboxing and build videos of it, I pulled out the closest thing I had to it in the stash. This one is from 2014 and nowhere near the new kit in detail/parts count/fit/articulation. Upon opening the box, I came to a couple conclusions: 1) it's still a lot of parts. 2) the box won't even fit on my bench 3) my pile of started kits on the bench is getting a bit out of hand already. So back in the box it went. As soon as this pile shrinks a bit, I'll take another look see. To that effect, I did some quick paint and putty work on the USN Horten .

One day I will actually start on a MFH kit from the stash (I have 4) but until I get the nerve up to do so, I'll keep watching you build yours.

Found them! Ron send me a PM and get them out this week to you. Carl
