Re: CA all the way???

For resin, PE, and filling gaps, but I don't think the cleanup or potential for disasters (parts stuck to fingers or applicator, drips, foggy clear parts, etc.) is worth the quick drying time. Meng Models linked to this guy's Me 410 build on YouTube. He does a lot of things I don't agree with, inclu...

Re: Dats Wat I'm Talkin !!!

Parts are air drying right now. Laid out paints and tools and wrote my build outline (aka, "plan"). I expect building to commence soon.

Re: Dats Wat I'm Talkin !!!

Mine will arrive tomorrow and I will build it right away. No in-box review, no whining about box qualities, the typos in Eduard's historical info for markings, no waiting for resin or PE sets or a decal sheet, no BS. Because it's Eduard, I won't be delayed by having to fill a million ejector pin mar...

Re: Bf 109G-6, Alfred Grislawski

A flawless build and paint job. BUTT it looks like you didn't correct the incorrect angle of the oleo struts, resulting in an awkward stance. I love the tone of the colors you used. Thanks. The paints I use are Model Master. They spray through my airbrush without any fuss or coaxing. I'm one of tho...

Re: F/A-18A+ Hornet of VMFA-312

Nice. Can you expand upon your choice of load-out? :hmm: The two AIM-9s on the wingtips are for self-defense, as is the lone AIM-7 on station 4 (outside of starboard engine inlet). The four GBUs are used in built up areas throughout Middle Eastern battlefields to minimize collateral damage and frat...

Re: F/A-18A+ Hornet of VMFA-312

Wow...that's really nice. I hope to see more of your build soon too. Thanks. This one took 2.5 months to finish due to my poor planning when it comes to painting. Filling ejector pin marks, filling seams, sanding, scribing--none of that bothered me and didn't extend the build. It was the painting a...
