Is CA magnetic? Just kidding. I am very low or out of Tamiya Extra Thin, but I have several bottles of Prozac, err, Tenax.Thomas_M wrote:Lyle, I would suggest to get some anti-magnetic tweezers, too. I have such on my bench. There always is an opportunity for those.
Do you use Tamyia´s Extra Thin Cement?

Thanks, mate. I appreciate the well wishes and the kind comments. This one isn't bad. I think I have finally learned to test fit multiple times.portman wrote:Great looking build Lyle - I've always liked P-39's but you don't see that many built. You've mad a grand start on it.
I hope you and your wifre are feeling better.
Cheers

Re: Eduard 1/48 P-39Q
Well, nothing was reported for a bit. Really nothing much to fill or sand. Nice for a change.
Got it painted and glossed. Airbags deployed in the cockpit.
There are a few scuff marks that I'm leaving as "weathering". Yeah, I don't want to mess with it. The wing walkways were painted. Masked with the Montex masks. These are not bad to work with. My first time using them. Tried to weather the walkways a bit with salt.
I need to get a Canon camera. The Nikon close-ups are too clear.

I think it looks great! I have a Canon and my pics are just as clear as these. Don't worry Lyle, your work looks great in these pics.

Re: Eduard 1/48 P-39Q
Congrats! Speedy and even better than the last one!
I agree on you getting a Canon: on the Nikon pics one of the landing gear looks a little bit slanted. A known problem with Nikons to distort in close-up!
