harv Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Ok, waiting on the 190 hgw decals, I decided another old sod build. A desert Mk IV Spit. Started this year's ago. Our old friend Deric Bradshaw had a small AM business and I got this beautiful little centerline bomb rack from him . But I screwed the pooch on drilling the mounting holes. Well I gave up on it. But I decided to take a look at it and see if I can start back on it. So it begins....harv 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some tapered plastic rod you could use to fill the wrong holes and then drill the right ones. Let me know and I can drop some in the mail for you. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm pretty lucky in that my studio and hobby room are in the house and I have my paint booth in there as well. When I air brush, the paint booth is ducted to the outside through the window. When done, all comes in - takes a bit of work to set up and break down but for me, it works well and keeps peace in the house. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
