Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Carlos and Bruce both of you are making great progress.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Also a pilot: Born in Waconia, Minnesota, Herbert was a general science and English major at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (then called La Crosse State Teachers College) who was interested in drama. His career as an actor was interrupted by World War II when he enlisted in the United States Army as a Private. Herbert later joined the United States Army Air Forces, took pilot training, and became a B-24 bomber pilot who flew 56 combat missions from Italy with the 767th Bomb Squadron, 461st Bomb Group of the Fifteenth Air Force. When Herbert was discharged in 1945 he was a Captain and had earned the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters.LyleW wrote:Oh, Mr Wizard was a real TV scientist.

Ken! I was thinking about you becoming a Hollywood Action Hero. Anything is possible. And I hear the money is very good. Hell yes, Old Kits Of Old Planes Here We Are!KennyX wrote:OH MY GOD BIPLANES! COOL!!

Thanks for the info on Herbert. A pilot? I knew I liked him.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Oh and by the by for any fans of spray cans, the cowling was painted GK Surface Primer Black with a color coat of Tamiya TS-14 Black. I use this on trains a lot because it’s one hell of a combination. Very, very strong adhesion. I don’t know how to do this either by decanting or with an airbrush yet, but I would assume it is possible, Another advantage of TS Series is that it is multimedia - you can use Enamel as well as acrylics on top for detail work.
There was no polishing involved over the primer. That is as cured after painting. Ditto the TS-14. That lacquer “hugs” plastic better than cotton in a wet T-shirt contest.
