Forget the shorts. We want a bikini! At most! Great build Chuck. As have been all of your previous builds. Very high in entertainment value. I for one always look forward to your postings. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Mark

Very nice work. Tell me about the brown to the rear of the cockpit. Did the aircraft have wood panelling? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark

I don't know how I missed this posting. Great job! Who makes that pen you're using? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Mark

Datahiker, Another method I've seen is after one sprays a basecoat, spray certain areas (panels) white (or whatever color influence you want to impart). Good luck. Sincerely, Mark

Datahiker, I fade all of my exterior colors. I add 1 part white to 5 parts color. This results in an 80% tint of the hue (the color directly out of the bottle). If you want to illustrate a tinted (faded) area within a hue area there are other approaches, which I use. 1-spray area the hue color and over spray with the tint. 2-spray the area the tint and overspray with the hue. 3-spray tint only without hue. 4-place a dot, or dots, of the hue/tint or any hue/tint (I use the end of a paint brush dipped into the cap) on the tint/hue and after wetting a paint brush with a thinning agent (th

You're a champ. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark

Ken, What 'mark' FW 190 is Red One in your Defence of the Reich banner? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark

Monster effort, John! A real tutorial on how to problem-solve. You have a just a fantastic skill-set. Many thanks for sharing and showing us all how to do-it-ourselves. Sincerely, Mark

Thank you very much Pete! As always, I admire your work, skill, and your sharing nature. I have something to share with you and your peers. To me, you, John W., and there are others here and on other boards who remind me of the Mercedes Benz. Every year when their new cars come out I think Wow! How can they top that design? But every year they seem to do so. The work you and your peers do and share on this and other forums is like that to me. Wow! How can they top that? But with each succeeding effort, they do. Many thanks to all of you who share and inspire the rest of us with your

Pete, In the photo below, the demarcation line is deeper in color than the body of the camouflage. Each time I see this technique posted I am curious as to how it's done, and, would like to try it out. Could you tell me your technique to make the demarcation line deeper in color than the camouflage body. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark

John, I've got to tell you, every addition to this edition is simply more amazing to me than the previous. You are putting on a truly incredible show of talent. Many, many thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Mark

It's good to see you back, Pete. I feel like I've gone thru a dry spell without seeing your work. I always look forward to the learning your problem-solving skills afford and marvelling at your efforts. Many thanks. Sincerely, Mark

I wondered about this also. Thanks to everyone for answering. Sincerely, Mark

What a monster! Great job! Sincerely, Mark

I have to tell you, I just love everything about this build. Your work is just super. I have a set of Rally figures I plan to use for a 1/25th IDF Centurion conversion I'm working on. I found them on e-bay for a relative price. I didn't over pay. Here is one of a few. http://cgi.ebay.com/Tamiya-1-24-Rally-Mech...p3286.m20.l1116 HTH. Sincerely, Mark

Most tanks are pumped to 3,000 psi. I don't know the bars. A first stage (the part of the regulator that attaches to the tank) drops the psi down to about 100psi (some companies more, some companies less). You should be able to go to an industrial gas supplier. Locally to me there is a comany called Roberts that supplies oxygen, acetaline, and other stuff. You should be able to rent or buy a regulator there that will step down the air presuure to a manageable level. Be sure it's outlet will fit your airbrush hose diameter. If it doesn't, you'll need to step that down until it fits. HT

Ricardo, I'm not an expert, but what I recall, and what can be seen in the illustrations, is that the rudder may not be fabric, but be made of wood. If so, the ribbing should be removed and the rudder sanded smooth. Sincerely, Mark

Who cares if it exists. Build it! That's my plan. Sincerely, Mark

Most Excellent! Sincerely, Mark

It looks ALL good to me, brother! Great job! Sincerely, Mark

Dang, brother. Your work is out of this world! Great job. Exhibiting the step by step process you went through to produce this jewel is really educational and I for one surely appreciate that you have done so. Thanks for sharing. Sincerely, Mark

John, Your work is too tight for words. Very impressive stuff, really. Sincerely, Mark
