    Definitely, I was using a glorified electric toothbrush for sanding the intakes on the F-15 when I decided to bite the bullet and get one. That's great to know. I'm looking forward to using it.

    Seats look great Chris. The stencil decals are going to a lot of work. I think the only ones worse are some of the JASDF ones.

    Looks great. Up to the same caliber of build quality as the bigger Corsairs you've done.

    Nice to see it cross the finish line.

    An oldie but a goodie (I hope). For the price, it was hard to pass up. And something to help with sanding on the F-15J build.

    Yup. It's been a long time since I've seen a car on fire on the side of the road. Kia and Hyundai had a huge recall over engine fire concerns. Guess they missed this one.

    Who doesn't love the DS. Such a gorgeous looking car.

    You could probably make them fit. Probably just have to shave the plug on the back until they conform to the inside of the GT Resin intakes. For example, the AMS vari-ramps were made to fit the kit intakes but have fit just fine on the various resin intakes that I've used.

    No pics but drying to work this morning there was a Kia Rondo on the shoulder of the highway. Some smoke was coming out from under the hood as I passed. Looking in the rearview mirror, the car went up in flames. Thankfully the occupants were out and a tow truck was behind it already when it happened

    I'd be up for one. The Marauder was always a sleek looking bomber to me. Hopefully we'll see some AM decals come out for it.

    Tamiya clear blue and red are great for adding heat effects to metallic surfaces. Thin it down a bunch and build up light coats until you get the desired effect.

    Most of the panels were stainless or titanium if I recall. So they should be a bit darker. Then add the soot from the J-79s and they got darker still. You could do the raised straps a different shade and that will add some variety and interest back there.

    Yikes! When it rains, it pours. You made me double check if our Honda Element has a chain or belt as we're at 233,000 kms. It's a chain so a bit less worrying. Here's hoping the truck starts okay.

    Here's the two I've done so far. I still have one more in the stash.

    Jagdpanther are always a great one to build. My favourite variant of the Panther family.
  16. BlrwestSiR
    That should be enough space then.

    An assembly line process could work, especially if there's a lot of repetition in the paint and assembly steps. I've done it before when I did 4 Spitfires at the same time. The Revell F-4 kits are straightforward enough too. No engines to deal with and the fit is generally decent. The question becomes do you have enough bench space?

    If you have a paint shop near you, see if they carry Blue Dolphin tape. It's the same as Tamiya tape but is much cheaper. https://www.dolphinsundries.com/product/washi-tape/ I got it at the local Benjamin Moore shop.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    That's good to know. I have a couple of those at least. Saves me from buying another "paint stand".
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Jeroen, how do you find the various aircraft parts that you incorporate into your build?
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Looks good there Phil. Nice to see it cross the line. The big reason I found mine to be a Mojo killer was building it at the same time as the HK Mossie.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    They certainly would. There's even AM decals and resin available for them so it can feel like a real GB.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Paul! Those Hasegawa Egg Girls are very nicely done figures. I have one of their JASDF F-15J egg plane kits around somewhere. Might need to dig it out and add it to the build.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    I think the old Wolfpack set was for the Tamiya kit. Definitely wasn't 3D printed. I checked around and can't find anything except for the Facepalm listing. Maybe once it shows up, there will be other options for purchase.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    So, not quite Tamiya build quality. Glad you took the short break and have come back to it.
