  1. Cool I opted for a three door tub assembly from Micheal's the other day when out shopping with the Wife to hold my bottles of MrHobby lacquers.I started looking at my inventory of paint I figure Dennis I got 300+ bottles of paint from MM,Tamy,Testors,AlClad,AK and MrHobby.
  2. Smart move I have both 1/48 and 1/32.
  3. I think if I had used a an acrylic base clear it may of tamed it down to the results I was thinking live/learn
  4. This one is about to hit the cabinet.I cleared with a Tamyia Semi-Gloss and applied two coats of Florrys Sand to top and bottom should of just left it at that but I wanted to add some dust effects so out came Tamy's weathering palettes.I deliberately over did the chalks somewhat thinking they will disappear and that would of happened with a gloss or semi.I used MrHobby flat and virtually none disappeared she came out OK but I had higher expectations though the wing root area took it the worst.I still have to paint the blue light on the R/side under the copit first came doing the wash. RFI:
  5. Well she is finished not to my expectations though something was happening around the wing roots?
  6. That's understandable Jeroen somehow I was thinking MDC(never used them) was an older brand of a resin manufacturer.
  7. First of congratulations upon retirement Hubert!Second the effect of weathering and attention to details is paying off Sir looks really Nice!The dio should really cool.
  8. Looking good Chris now you just need a #9 Coors car.
  9. Well Jeroen got to remember the age of the AM kit and the capabilities at the time.What you can do with the printer is light years ahead of the castings back then might of as well forget about castings in your realm of building for the most part.
  10. I keep plugging away got all the decals laid last seemed to settle down pretty well using Walthers and Cartograph at that but it's an old kit.I pulled a Hubert in a sense painted the glass looked really sweet hand masked I am looking at the plane last night on the stand I painted it Earth not Middlestone! So,will remask and repaint nothing like digging a ditch and filling it up!
  11. Beware of the nacelles side panels around the exhaust seems to be mis-numbered in the instructions if memory serves me right had fits with mine just do a little more research,
  12. Coming together John.
  13. Yeah Mike easy kit another very Nice fit from Trumpter how accurate is another question but it looks like a P-40.I have noticed thus far 1/48 and 1/72 seem a better fit than the 1/32 in fit.I used Valleyo seam filler in just a couple of spots was all she got and minimal sanding at the seams.
  14. Primed and got some paint laid in the last couple of days.I used MrColor Middlestone and Air Superiority Blue(looked close)and MM French Earth as you can see got just three touch-ups.I am about to paint the prop,spinner and canopy frames LG's are already completed.
  15. Cool John another feeble brain and a par of eyes always helps.You know I am going to keep hammering Hubert.
  16. Looking good Jeroen.
  17. When I was having back issues the Doc told me a hobby like this and others takes your mind off the pain.
  18. Ready to see this one hit the desk lot's of goodies.
  19. Thanks for the tip but I am thinking I can pic up in the art section of Hobby Lobby
  20. Cool Rob! I see those psychedelic times maybe of our youth are returning?imagination is running rampant...Nice!
  21. You know Mike looking closer that red nose looks real and such a nice shade.
  22. The copit is finished and closed up checked to see if I had any seatbelts but only Waldron and 1/72 like I said a quick build guys.The wheel wells was almost reminiscent of a SH kit they went together nicely just painted them.I am thinking I will be done with this one by next Friday.
