Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
I'm using white glue for all my pe parts unless they are external. Holds very well and if I goof up it just peels off when cured.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
John, I think your favorite part of the build process must be CANOPY MASKING :giggles: Ha ha, Chris. You are certainly right on this one, though at first you would think they just moved some parts around and added that short section behind the front seat. That's what I thought until I started putti...

Re: Get a Job
Years ago I use to make it a point to make a fuel stop at Winslow on the way to Texas just for the Mexican food at the restaurant there. It was also mid point more or less on the route, but that was beside the point.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Carlos, they may have all been modifications of existing airframes, but always with the type 11/21 engine installations. I'll have to read through Francillon again. It is said that there is no real documentation for what the rear cockpit really looked like.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Because all my current projects are waiting for paint to dry, or in the case of the Alfetta my loins to gird, I am starting on the A6M2-K. I am confused as to why it is called an A6M2-K and not an A6M5-K, as it has the wing of the A6M5. Whatever. Pictures later tonight as I am off to my grandson's b...

Lyle's gone to the dark side!
The gray green is on, and a clear coat to protect the gray green in case I make a mess of the interesting patchy dark green upper color.

Re: Empire of the Rising Sun Group Build
Today's progress. I used Tamiya's masking pattern for a pattern and cut masks for the canopy. Fit was perfect. I have one spot that needs some correction for fit, right on the top of the nose at the front. The other side is fine. I'm sure it is my fault and not Mr. Tamiya's. http://goldeneramodel.co...

Re: 1/48 Zvezda Bf 109F-2
Thanks, Guys! One more update. I got the new decals and found that many things were different according to Mr. Crandall. Different splinter pattern on the wings, no yellow wing tips, and a flat black area on the wing roots. The panel lines on this kit are very fine, such that all the repaint has mad...
