  1. The Tamiya F-35A goes together so flawlessly, you barley have to touch it! 😃
  2. Great tutorial. I've been using Tamiya acrylics for 20 years and I agree with all of your assessments. Good job!
  3. Amazon may not be your cup of tea, but you can't beat the price. 😁
  4. Try this on internet - alq 87 ecm pod on f-111
  5. Go to the "Spares Box" here on ARC and list what you are looking for. Sometimes you get lucky.
  6. Good topic. I've always been a 1/48 modeler but space is at a minimum now so I'm dabbling in 1/72 at present. Also I finish them much faster.
  7. I built the Hasegawa AV-8B kit years ago and it was a good build.
  8. I love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for your help Dave. Good luck to Amaud also.
  9. Very enlightening. Knowing the adversary seems to be the key.
  10. Forgive me if I missed the boat here but I didn't see the announcement till now. Check out their website.
  11. Great tool especially for after market manufacturers. 20 years ago I would have bought it.
  12. Yes it's true. And because of that, I'm using Scalehobbyist almost exclusively whereas before it was always Sprue Bros. Go figure.
  13. IMHO, real Blue Tack. It's on E -Bay. Make sure it's made by Bostick. Many other brands out there but you will be disappointed. 😅😏
  14. Tamiya's F-4B was their finest engineered kit until now. I just finished the F-35A Lightning II and it is brilliant! I have never built a aircraft kit like this one. Tamiya leads the way for airplane kits.
  15. Can't help with ordnance or avionics but hemspilot has the colors correct. Compass Ghost scheme it is.
  16. I have had the Dremel Micro 8050 for many years. Best tool ever for modelling. The book says it's lowest speed is 5000 rpm...I don't believe it. It's more like 500 rpm. You won't melt plastic at it's lowest speed and it holds a charge for a long time.
  17. My go to clear spray is Alclad II - Aqua Gloss Clear. This is their acrylic end of Alclad II. You use it right out of the bottle. The secret is many light coats to get the sheen you are looking for. Just like your problem encountered, It will pool and sag if applied to heavily. This product is pretty popular so you should be able to find it easily. Even at Amazon.
  18. Love the F-86 and A-4. Great pics of them all!
  19. Check Amazon out. They have many varieties.
