Re: Weird question about wood stain.

Thats kind of what i gathered. I was just hoping i could thin it or use it as a wipe on wipe off thing to stain the wood while letting the sculpted plywood show through. All the scraps are up on campus. Its plywood of some description (found chunks in the scraps bin that looked nice enough) and door...

Re: Italeri 1/72 Lockheed C-130K/ C.1

I've been fortunate. IN all the time I've been building models, I've never trashed a kit. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one Stuart. As for the interior color, either a Dark Ghost or Dark Gull grey would work, unless the RAF repainted the interiors when they got them. USAF aircraft...

Re: A "Rhode Island Red" Y-Wing.

This is so cool
If you look at the eggplane bombers the guns all look pretty realistic (some exceptions to the rule) so i think what you had looks good.
Maybe look at the meng eggplane lancaster for the turrent?

Re: Hobbyboss 1/48 General Dynamics F-111C Aardvark

Beautiful build. The Aussies did keep their planes pretty clean (must have been kiwi crew chiefs :giggles: ) A8-131 currently resides in a landfill in Queensland due to asbestos contamination. Australian Defense Forces PR noted “The following aircraft were buried due to their condition and were unsu...

Re: Eggsprey - fun

Love the eggplane series.
I had the P-51 in NZ, and i have an SR-71 in the Canadian stash.
Guess i have to get an SR-71 kit now? Did anyone ever make a good one?
