All my supplies, tools and models are still at another location since the move.I'm going to start moving this stuff this coming weekend. A word about these decals; the markings guide that came with them is very small. I'm going to have to enlarge it just to see what the heck I'm doing. Anyway, regarding the decals that came with the Takom kit.......well, I've had trouble with Takom decals before so I thought I'd use these. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 "Splash the Zeros!" HAD just released decals for the Tomcats from The Final Countdown so I grabbed them. Much better flying scenes than in Top Gun. I also picked up their Tomcat helmet decals. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, it's bigger than my last one which was covered with paint and damaged by a lacquer thinner spill. I'm making a fresh start now that I have moved. And a new mat is in order. 5 minutes ago, Peterpools said: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Had a club meeting yesterday. I won the raffle but called for a re-draw to give someone else a chance. Luckier still was finding these two kits (on my very short list of must-haves) for less than half price that a fellow club member was getting rid of. Dicker Max at least gives us some color and weathering options. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that you can reuse it, right? I've used the Tamiya saws before, they work ok, but they can bend easily. Actually your post reminds me that I need to re-order some. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Hola Señhores, today I received my Do-17 kit in 48 scale. It's the ICM plastic for a Z1, Z2, Z3 or Z5 and includes masks, phew, resin wheels and floating device and colored PE for the pit along some new decals for eight planes. There wer to many tasty Do-17 / Do-217 builds around to let it pass. The only letdown is the 'Kampfstift' title of the boxing. To my knowledge the Do-17 was never named like this. The typical nick was 'Fliegender Bleistift' (flying pencil). Cheers Rob 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Some more ICM plastic arrived today. The 1/32 Gloster Gladiator MK. I. Browsing through the box shows nicely detailed plastic, which is broken down into not too many parts. Compared to my recent IBG PZL. 11 build, that will be a fast build, I guess. There is less detail and no PE included. Unfortunately there are no seat belts supplied either, so I will have to raid other kits, maybe my Tamiya Mosquito, where I have bought some HGW spare belts. I somehow like these interwar designs and the Gladiator will be an easy build, beside from flat wire rigging. I will build her in a silver dope finish, which looks better than the spinach and barf camo. Cheers Rob 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Just purchased some more of these; they are quick release fittings that work with my Iwata airbrushes. they were purchased from a manufacturer called Abest on Amazon. I did find that the o-rings they came with tend to foul the air valve stem if tightened too much. So I replaced them with o rings with a square cross section sourced from McMaster- carr.......these work very well. I recommend these quick release fittings. https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/1171n177 The quick release is shown fitted to my Iwata HP-C plus. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember building the Lindberg kit of the gladiator years....no, decades ago, in 1/48 scale. I thought, it was a pretty good kit at the time, but this new kit must be a big improvement......not to mention larger! Anyway, looking forward to your build.
