    Never again, you are right!

    No primer on this one with Alclad all over it!

    What primer that was used was to find flaws then sanded completly off, polished, then Alclad applied to reveal what you see.

    Wow - that is one beautiful 104! Can I ask how did you do the faded US Air Force Markings on the forward fuselage?

    Thanks,

    That is some serious damage in the photo's! You're really duplicating it well in model form! Keep posting more as you go along Joe!

    And sure if you don't mind I would like to see some more on the damaged Abrams. Never imagined it could really take that bad of a beating, and even be "recovered"?

    Ken, if you haven't yet found the drawings you need for the other pod,try "Roll Models."

    They have a wide variety of books, including at least one on the XC-120, which should have drawings.

    Hi Fred,

    What book would have this information? I like the looks of the aircraft and I am following the build with interest as well.

    one of the great est makers potentially on his way out

    What is the reason, I wonder, when modelers buy from pirates to save a buck or two and have the original master makers fold. I mean, where is the logic? Kill the master for a few bucks of discount by a pirate and then when the master maker is gone out of business what happens? The master is out and the pirate is out since there is nothing to pirate from. Not exactly the perfect symbiotic relationship!

    This is close to what is happening to one of the best master makers I know of.

    One guy puts his dreams in a box comes to the US, legally with his family, sets up shop and sees his dreams go under due to piracy... Just great. This is not what he thought the American dream was. Who am I to explain that with what I see. I had many hopes for www.dmold-modelworks.com and the powerhouse potential of this venture. It is irrelevant what I post here when he tells me that a huge chunk of his sales get pirated.

    How sad.

    I am really not sure for how long he will be here in this country.

    He will not quit the business but he will not be at the source of where the aircraft are and take measurements and absorb them and compare plastic to metal.

    Maybe it is me and I was hoping for but I had great dreams for us modelers.

    Fotios,

    Honestly can you say that DMold after moving from Russia to the US is going to pack up and head back because of a "scandal" for lack of a better term? That's like saying General Motors will shut down production because they can't stop Japanese Imports. I understand DMold's rights have been tackled here. His work is incredible. I have several of his pieces. But to shut down, fold up the box and run away that is just wrong. To many people like what DMold does and what has done in the past. Why not start fresh!!

    Make the best of the new venture. Stand up, dust himself off and start casting. If everyone worried about the other guy and what he does we would all be on ignoritall. Dmold has a opportunity here to show his craftmanship off and start popping out resin for kits that no one else has.

    Its time to man-up and put this thing to bed.

    DMold makes resin. Lets see some new resin!

    Right guys!

    My Two Cents!
