There's one for sale on eBay now. $11 plus shipping

Found it. I put in an offer and added to my watch list. Did find Green Nose Mustang Daddy’s Girl decal set in 1/48 scale too. Thinking of grabbing that one too.

Went to the LHS to get some paint and supplies. The LHS is 80% Gundam and the wife went inside with me. We were looking at kits and she couldn't believe how cool some of the Gundams were. She saw one that she really liked and said you should get this one. So I did. Who am I to say no to the wife.

Mike and Carlos…

I saw this as individual pens by AK Interactive.

I’m curious of what and how this particular pen is used for chipping.

It's a dark rust color. So using it on corners and edges of armor and such will make it look like chipping.

I placed an order thru scalehobbyist 2 weeks ago, received it this past Thursday.

Stocked up on some AK Interactive Real Colors paints



They are:

RLM 2 1938
RAF Ocean Grey
A-14 Interior Steel Grey (USSR)
RLM 76 Version 1
RLM 76 Late War Variation
RLM 81 Version 1
RLM 81 Version 3
RLM 82

I also ordered AK Flexible Airbrush Stencil and Exel Fine Poinr Slant Tweezers

Of all the books I have, I didn't have anything on the Eurofighter Typhoon. Had to search around but found this one on eBay. Pretty nice book.

Cool - I can point to the bits of that aircraft that I help make

Nice!! Yeah I'd love to know.

So... Nose radome, DASS pod (wingtip) radomes and various covers, Towed decoys, the spine radome behind the airbrake, leading edge radomes, ILS strakes etc. etc. It was about 20 parts on each aircraft. I personally x-ray inspected the majority of the peak tips that fit to the front of the radome - so my bit gets there first.

Thanks for the suggestion Carlos!

Looks like a good read. I'm really interested in the early war period so this should be a good fit.
