How many pairs of shoes does she have?

The intake looks like it's silver/metal colour rather than underside colour in this photo. However the outlet seems to be underside colour. Mike

I know.... However I wanted to do it on my Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk1 for the experience! :D Thanks for all the tips guys. Kudos, as ever, Mike

I've heard you can 'soften' the resulting lines after you've re-scribed panel lines. How is this done? I've got a pot of Tamiya extra thin and I presume you just let a little of it pull itself along the panel lines. Is this how it's done and is Tamiya strong enough? Many thanks, Mike

Thanks again guys. So the Revell/Monogram kit is a good representation of early A-10's then. What kit accurately represents Gulf War A-10's then, or do you need to scratch build from cold war versions? Thanks, Mike

Yes, that's it! I've seen the original Revell kit on E-bay, is it not as good as the modern day Revell-Monogram kit then? Mike

Hi all. I am correct in assuming that both kits are the same and the new Revell-Monogram A-10 is exactly the same as the Old Revell kit? Thanks in advance, Mike

Now I would of gone quite a bit 'mental' about that..... I obviously need to chill more!

Ha, ha, ha, ha! :)

Wow, the airliners are really going for thick 'anti'terrorist' doors on the cockpit nowadays! :D

If you handle the blue-tac too much you'll transfer skin oils onto it, that can leave a mark on the paint I've found... Mike

Have you tried some acrylic flow enhancer / Drying retarder? It's available at art shops and helps the paint flow better and dry slower.

Thanks very much gentlemen!

I've just got the older version (I think) of Hasegawa's F-16 (it's marked as the S20). It has an option to finish it in the demonstrator version and allows the gun to be displayed as well as the radar. How much difference is there between this and the S25 F-16A? Thanks in advance, Mike

Oh, it'll be worth it! If it's out and there are any still available by the time I win the lottery my name will be on the list! While I'm dreaming I'd also like a 1:1 Mk.VII Viper too...... that can fly! :D

And have a huge wedge of cash to buy it with! :lol:

Ohhh.... Everything involving money is unethical nowadays! Damn credit crunch!

Coors Light! If someone is buying you a beer then at least have a proper beer!

Have a look at Radu Brinzan's homepage. He has some nice, cheap and highly recommended PE tools for sale

Thanks guys! I have also been advised to stick with a sharp scalpel and a sheet of glass (which is a lot cheaper! ) so I'm going to have to mull this over as xuron snips are expensive over here in the UK.... Thanks for the advice however, it all helps! Mike

I'm in a quandary..... Has anyone used the FSS-6 Modeler's Scissor from xuron? I'm looking at buying their TK-2100 tool kit which has the 410T high precision shear, 450 tweezernose pliers and the FSS-6 scissors. HERE. However the scissors look a little too big for delicate PE, surely their 440 PET high precision shear (HERE.) would be better for the teeny weenie PE? Thanks, Mike

Now this would be interesting if you could upload to a Chinese modelling site. Apparently most of the Chinese youth know nothing of Tiananmen Square as the 'history books' have left it out!

Well I guess I've time to find out if the 'Pledge with Future' works as 'Klear/Future' did as I've got 6 bottles of Klear stashed away!

Oh don't worry. I didn't think of it either! Just passing on good advice from other modellers. :)
