    It's a good thing I didn't use the vacuum.

    So I dug this out form the shelf on a whim. Basically I had gotten the hard part of the build out of the way and due to a bad paint job, gave up. This was my first try at a NMF and it may have been a bit ambitious. For a better assessment, I dusted it off. I guess I shouldn't have used a cloth soaked in lacquer thinner. It actually took a fair bit of scrubbing to get it back to bare plastic. I tried a quick sanding at first. After a couple quick swipes, I went outside armed with Tamiya lacquer thinner, some paper towels and cotton buds. The putty work needs some touch up and then I'll start on a second try at the paint job . Carl

    Thanks Harv! I used Alclad but can't recall the specific shades. There's a number of issues with the coverage and I couldn't at the time think of an easy solution.

    Found something buried. The paint job went pear shaped so back into the box it went I don't know how many years ago. Time to fix it and get it done me thinks.

    Supposedly HpH has a 1/32 B-58 in the works.
  6. BlrwestSiR
    Yes! Or better yet, a CF-105.

    That's ZM with the F-4 in 1/48. HK has yet to do anything in a different scale from 1/32. Maybe a Grand Slam Lanc?

    So Purdy. Makes you want to take her home and introduce her to your parents. Carl

    Thanks Phil! I thought it was a bit overdone but looking at photos they were that dusty. Thanks Kev!

    I'll take the black one ...

    That's the way my bench looks normally.

    Ok, I added some more weathering and finished the stowage bits so she's all done. I might try doing some crew figures up in a bit. We'll see.

    Thanks Martin!

    Happy belated birthday Jerry! Carl

    They're from a Legend set for the Firefly. I had them around so figured I might as well use them.

    A bit more... I've started on some spare track links for the front since it wouldn't be a British Sherman without some. Although the Canadians seem to be the ones who really took mounting extra tracks to a while new level.
  17. BlrwestSiR
    Well I've got a new Master pitot coming from Australia so when it gets here, I'll be able to finish this one. Meantime, it's back to the Sherman.

    Some great progress there Ernie. The gear looks fairly solid, especially if it's just dry fit together. Carl

    Here's a start...

    I'm watching this one.

    They have a Yellow doped linen listed as TCP-1254. It's under the British Flying Corp section. It's definitely not the easiest site to navigate. But it looks like 1to1 found exactly what you're looking for. Carl

    I'd say that's probably correct. It does have a lacquer smell to it. The LHS recommended either Tamiya lacquer thinner or Mr Color Leveling thinner so that's what I used. I found it sprays very similar to Mr Color. The pigment is fine, not as coarse as what you see in Tamiya acrylics. I haven't tried brushing them either.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Tony, have you checked out Tru-Color Paints? My LHS stocks them for their WWI colors. They're out of Arizona too. http://trucolorpaint.com/ I'm currently using their Metallic silver on a build and so far I like the way it sprays. I'm using Mr Leveling Thinner on it. Carl

    It does look a bit too factory fresh doesn't it? Ok, maybe a bit of dirt once I get the decals on.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    I don't have the DeAgostini Falcon but I do have the Bandai one. Or should I say ones. Hope one of you guys does a build thread. Either of you get the Paragrafix or Falcon 3D bits for them? Carl
