Hi there! I'm currently making room in my basement and I'm trying to sell a few things (even a Streem Su-24M!). Tought perhaps you would like to take a look... Will continue adding items soon... http://www.ebay.es/sch/j-dominguez/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686 Thanks for reading! :)

Thanks mate! p.s. Don't have a clue on what you're saying.... What's that "La Furia"???
-
What was an easy project that started buying a resin cockpit is becoming, as usually, another thing... Finally decided to rivet the surface using my RTR riveter... I've built also the rear wheel well as did'nt like the bare area Tamiya provides. Here you've a couple of pics. Hope you enjoy'em... :)

So kind Michael... I was looking for pics on the well itself... That's more the tail leg... Some friend at a spanish forum have just post something to me on it http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2410230130092702542YHZaBp It's not an operational aircraft but a preserved one but it's a good start point anyway... It seems when these bird were operational there was some kind of canvas protecting the leg that this one doesn't have.... Will keep looking out there... Again, thanks!

Do you know a place with the pics I need? Then just post the url... That's the help I was asking for. Thanks for your comments on how easy it should have been to me...

Can see it's not a piece of cake....

Hi friends! While the main gear wheel wells are really well covered by photographic references, cant find a single pic showing this area in a real aircraft. I don't like a all the way its represented in Tamiya's kit so will like to build something to replace it. Thanks in advance.

Congrats.!!! Superb work! One of my favorite choppers! Regards -
So kind. Will not say scratch is easy because it isn't... But once you've some practice its only a matter of work and planification... And over all, to me, it's the most rewarding part of the hobby... You can't stop once you start I still remember my first "serious" scratch built item... I started with that and ended up involved in a one whole year full time project... :lol: After that one, all my projects include scratchbuilding... More time comsuming, yes, but very very rewarding... :)

Leave me a PM if you finally come to Sevilla and will try to arrange a couple of cold Cruzcampos with some pescaito frito... Un saludo!
-
MuchÃsimas gracias, Pete!!! Cuanto tiempo!!! Do you still have that taste for the spanish food?! We still have pending a couple of Cruzcampos if I can recall... Take care, friend!

So kind mates! Thank you so much! Really hope I can continue with the paiting soon... Need to finish one model!!! :D
-
Hi there! More than a year after the previous update I think I've finished the scratch on the cockpit... My twins are now three years old and it seems I'm having a bit of time for modeling. (I've seen we've some nice new emoticons!!!) The N3B sight has some 25 pieces in itself and only lacks the clear part and a couple of nuts... Hope you enjoy the pics and hope I can return soon with more pics... This would mean I'm still modeling... :blush:

Fabuloso, amigo mÃo!! Un placer ver que algunos siguen aprovechando el tiempo que tienen (envidia cochina que os tengo ) para hacer obras de arte. Un saludo!

Whow mate, what a banner! Intense... :D Will have on mind what you said about my banner... But let me first finish something at 1/48!!!! Take care, friend
-
So kind mates! Your comments are always encouraging... About the A-4AR.... It was ready for painting, I already scratchbuilt and detailed landing gears, wheel wells, made those nice red FOD covers... But I simply lost inspiration... :) I still think some day will re-start to finish it.... After all I've a debt with my friend El Pibe Vitina as the A-4AR is one of his favourite aircrafts and I was looking forward to share an article with him.... But, well, I think I wont be writing full build articles for a time... :D Regards Juanjo

Hi there! long time since my previous post. I'm still very busy with my twins but slowly I'm being able to do some modeling. Looking for some inspiration, I started something absolutely new, or almost, for me. 1/48 and WWII... First of all, let me say that my knowledge on this area has been limited, modellistically talking, till now. So I think I still need to learn a thing or two... So well, I started as usual with the office. As I was planing this to be a "fast" build, I decided to purchase the Legend resin cockpit set.... BUT, as one of my favorite songs by Keane, I started to think "

Again, a big THANKS!

Thank you so much, mate!

Thanks for the replies mates! I finally ended up finding out a solution (I almost bought a tin of ELO to give it a try).... An this is.... Gunze Mr Thinner! It work superb on the thick, I mean THICK, layer of paint of this kit. Already tested on clear parts and doesn't seem to fog them... I suppose the paint is a laquer... Don't know if the other kits in the range use the same paint but I suppose so... Hope this helps to anyone with the same problem :)
-
At this point what seems to work better is alcohol.... I'll going to left it inside alcohol for a few days to see the results.... The paint looks veeery thick.... About barke fluid.... How does it works with clear parts? regards P.s. I left the oven cleaner for a whole day with no results at all what made me think the paint is acrylic....
-
Hi friends!!! just was wondering if any of you found out an easy way to stripe the prepaint of these kits.... I've an ARC-170 in alcohol for 2 days and it only laughs at me.... Already tried oven cleaner with almost the same results.... :) Thanks in advance!!!
-
So kind mates!! Especialmente a El Pibe... Sin tu ayuda, difÃÂcilmente podrÃÂa haberle metido mano, no sólo a éste sino a muchos de mis modelos. Gracias!
-
Well, a bit of progress in this puppy... I finished up the painting job of the office... A few pics... Hope you enjoy them.... Cheers!

Yes indeed Euge, the military version... Thanks a lot for the link! Very interesting for sure... It would be great some detailed pics on the cabin entry... I've seen there are a lot of thingies but have no detail pics on this area... Thanks a lot! Juanjo
