Keep us updated if you can. 

[Painting hobbyboss MiG 17 1/48 problem]

Looks like release agent left on sprues. Wash in warm soapy water.

[Magnifier For Small Work]

WOW! Very Cool.

[MY NEW RENOVATED WORKSTATION]

Way too neat and organized! 🤣

[Best jet in 1/48, OOB?]

The Tamiya F-35A goes together so flawlessly, you barley have to touch it! 😃

[How to airbrush Tamiya paints guide (for newbies)]

Great tutorial. I've been using Tamiya acrylics for 20 years and I agree with all of your assessments. Good job!

[Plastic pipettes cheap, Toronto area]

Amazon may not be your cup of tea, but you can't beat the price. 😁

Try this on internet - alq 87 ecm pod on f-111

Maybe it's just me, I would use something more lethal when shooting lawyers...

Go to the "Spares Box" here on ARC and list what you are looking for. Sometimes you get lucky. 

 

[Doing different scales?]

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.

[Best 1/48 Harrier Kit?]

I built the Hasegawa AV-8B kit years ago and it was a good build. 

[MODEL BOX ART FROM THE 1950s - "One-of-a-Kind" Plastic Model Kits in the Golden Age of Modeling!]

Wow! Interesting and informative.

[Bam models closed]

I love it when a plan comes together. Thanks for your help Dave. Good luck to Amaud also. 

[F-105D Hanoi Special, TFW388, decals in 1/48?]

Try EBay. You'll find them.

[F-15 Fans Will Probably Enjoy This]

Very enlightening. Knowing the adversary seems to be the key.

[Bam models closed]

Forgive me if I missed the boat here but I didn't see the announcement till now. Check out their website. 

[Mayku Formbox vacuformer]

Great tool especially for after market manufacturers. 20 years ago I would have bought it. 

[Online Store Product Availability]

Yes it's true. And because of that, I'm using Scalehobbyist almost exclusively whereas before it was always Sprue Bros. Go figure. 

[What is the best putty to do soft camo?]

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. 😅😏

[TAMIYA EXCELLENCE]

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.

[Israeli F-15D color schemes]

Can't help with ordnance or avionics but hemspilot has the colors correct. Compass Ghost scheme it is. 

[www.cybermodeler.com "Site is untrusted" error?]

Works for me.

[Low speed Dremel tool..]

 

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.

[Varnishing]

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.
