    I'm really liking it as well. It's a touch more expensive than Gunze here in Canada but it seems to be easier to find so that should balance things out. Me too. But the pics for this plane show a somewhat dirty finish so I'm going to try for one. Not my usual that's for sure.

    I'm back at it since the deadline is coming up. I'm not sure I'll make it but if I don't try, I won't know. I finally finished off the fuselage for French Kiss and got it ready for a black base coat. I used Tamiya X1 for this. After an initial light coat, I noticed a couple spots needed some quick sanding so I did that and then sprayed a full coat of paint. Now to let that dry for a bit. Carl

    Occasionally I get a bit of frosting if I'm spraying a flat clear so I usually stick to a satin finish. Try adding a drop or two of gloss to your flat and that might help with the frosting issue.

    Up to your usual high standards there John. Carl

    Nice to see you here Scott. Carl

    Cool! I've got a pair of these under construction at the moment. They're in the HK group build section. You may want to consider the Eduard corrected seats as well. HGW also has them in a set with their fabric seat belts if you want add those as well. Last thing would be nose weights. There's a couple sets out there or you can make your own. I used pennies in one of mine as they're no longer legal tender here in Canada. Carl

    Hey Martin, Tamiya is coming out with an RC version of your car! https://tamiyablog.com/2019/02/some-extra-details-and-bonus-of-the-upcoming-tamiya-58664-ford-mustang-gt4/ You should get one for your daughter and do it up like your car. Carl

    It's really looking good Ernie. Carl

    I'm not sure of their size. It does look like the same conversion that they tested on Top Gear when James May drove up that volcano on Iceland. We don't get the Hilux in Canada which is a shame. We have to wait until they're 15 years old to import one.

    Happy birthday Tony! Carl

    It's Chinese New Year so that makes sense. Most of China shuts down about now for a couple weeks so that the workers can go back to their hometowns. Carl

    Thanks Gaz! The new AK Real Colors spray very nicely and clean up great too.

    I think we do. I don't generally do too much on the weathering side of things. My most weather beaten build is still my Birdcage Corsair. Thanks Nigel! It's definitely differently from what I can tell. I'm using a profile out of one of Kagero's Battle of Britain books as the reference.

    Really looks amazing Nigel! Carl

    Crazy weekend with family stuff but I snuck away long enough to paint the wings. The wingtips need some touchup as you can see above so that'll be next. In the meantime, a quick trial run: Carl

    Thanks Mike! I agree, I still can't believe no one at Dragon proofread/ built the kit following their instructions. Thanks Gaz!

    More like hairball technique.

    This should be fun. Can't wait to see more. Carl

    Looks good Tony. Glad to see you back at it as well. Carl

    Saw this one last summer in Scotland. That would be perfect as a winter beater. Carl

    Harv, I can only echo what's been said. Embrace the memories and feelings of happiness. See you when you're back. Carl
  22. BlrwestSiR
    Definitely mean. Nice rubber upgrade too. Carl

    Great paint job! The squiggles really make that scheme stand out. Carl

    She has claws and doesn't hesitate to use them. I have the scars as proof... Besides, this is her right now:

    Here's my bench this morning. I'm trying to keep her fur off the bench so it doesn't end up in my paint. I'm failing badly.
