KevinM Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 This will probably be my only other WNW kit and some stuff for the 1/200 Scharnhorst and the 1/350Eugen about 40% complete. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Some badly needed supplies this week; Leveling thinner, Tamiya's Airbrush cleaner, two bottles of Testors dullcote, Tamiya clear red, and Tamiya clear orange. All good stuff! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Paul, if you can find Mr Tool Cleaner, it tends to be a bit cheaper than Tamiya airbrush cleaner and works the same. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at instructions now and they mention a 1/48 part number for helmet decals. I’ll look into that. Thanks! EDIT: Well, I found them on HAD’s website. 321002 is the number. Got to figure out where I can order them now. Hard to search on the phone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 After one and a half month in the mail and through customs, I finally received my first full resin plane kit, a racer. The kit is a beauty, the resin cast looks extremely well made. You get brass cast wheel struts and the wheel fairings are made of PE, which has to be bend with supplied resin templates. This is one of my favorite race planes and I was really amazed to see, that S.B.S. model produces it in 1/72 and 1/48. As it took so long to get here, it's my modeling Christmas present. In the same parcel were some masks for my Tamiya P-51D, which I want to try for my planned NMF build. Surface panel masks and masks for the wheel wells.

BlrwestSiR Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Boring to look at but I had a set of paint masks for the Millennium Falcon arrive today. Should make painting a bit easier. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well, as I mentioned over in the “What’s on your bench” thread in belugawhaleman’s post that I had to have one now, it just arrived. Yea, instructions are very limited and lost in translation. YouTube to the rescue. But man, this thing is going to make life so much easier painting wheels and tires now. I’ve been sitting here cutting circles like a moron on a tricycle. I’ll get the locator soon as well. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
