in 48th? Yak 141, SU-32/34 platypus, SU-47, Mig 1/44. especially those last 3.

I know the bottle says for airbrushing only but Ive had pretty good luck handpainting a lot of small bits like engine fans etc. take that testors!! :D

G'day everyone, I'm 99% sure I want to scratchbuild an A7M1 Reppu (Sam) in 1/32 or 24th scale, I'd like some opinions and input please for the best wat to scratchbuilt the large components like fuselage and wings. I know I can make wood masters and vac form, or I could do bulkheads and put styrene over it, are there any other good ways to do this? What do you find works best for you or people you've talked to (or read about)? Since my brain just went blank, are any of you able to provide any more input (other than I'm nuts) on the rest of the process? I havent seen any decent articles on s

Ah, thanks again. Yeah, I have a pin vise, I just never thougth to use it with needles or the like for scribing. Well, I now have a weekend project! voice in head 1: study idiot! voice in head 2: scribe, idiot! hmm.....decisions. Cheers mate, Mike

Hi Joe, thanks a lot for the help. What do you use the pin vise for? What is dynamo tape and where can I get it? Thanks again, Mike - about to have a fit with my turbo mustang after I fill and sand it, I gotta rescribe all the resin parts to match the kit if I can.

Is there any one way of scribing panel lines that is better than the rest in you opinion? I've tried several different methods and even when using a straightedge and going slow the scribe thing seems to jump off the straight edge. All help greatly appreciated, Thank you in advance Mike Swinburne

Well, that goes to show you that i dont know crap about modern aircraft and their "storage." I really dont, so I'm glad you corrected me before he makes a mistake in accuracy. Now I really wanna see a splotchy navy F-16! Cheers mate, Mike ;)

I would presume not much weathering or fading at all, as theyre kept in hangers and not subject to sun or salt air much at all. maybe a tiny bit of fading and a bit of panel dirtying at the most.

I usually use testors model master and Metalizer, VERY occasionally tamiya. I just use the standard company thinners for each, and I still havent found a good thinning ratio for airbrushing........I should probably do that soon
