  1. I have neither the time, the desire nor the crayons to explain to you where the hobby would be without the "rivet counters" you hate. Good day to you.
  2. This is a counter intuitive thing to do. How else would anyone else learn the information? The reason for posting work and doing these build logs publicly is for the open exchange of ideas and information. I learned about US Jerry cans things I had no idea about and will be helpful going forward for me. If it had been done via pm how would I have learned? Just like Olivers amazing builds, full of useful information on scratch building and detailing, if it wasn't done on a public forum how would we all learn tips and techniques that we can use in our own modeling ? I don't think Oliver does the
  3. I think it's funny that someone that has knowledge about a particular subject or item is considered a"rivet counter". And somehow you think that calling someone a rivet counter is an insult to them. Most of us on here aren't snowflakes and words don't hurt us. I certainly don't care and I doubt Heavyarty does either. In fact quite the opposite, I wear it with pride.
  4. There are 2 ways to look at this.... It's either right/correct or it's not, period. Information was shared with no malice whatsoever. If he chooses to change it or not is his decision, he's a grown man and can do what he wants. What I hate is people who complain about other people. You don't like what you see? Feel free to scroll right on past without commenting. It's easy. Lets not turn these forums into the same trolling/arguing wastes of time that Facebook is.
  5. He couldn't tell you or he'd have to kill you. Top secret agreements and such.
  6. I just got both of his books & the decals. They are awesome. Very much the Daco or Reid treatment to heli's. If I had one complaint it would be that there is no coverage of the MH-53 in the second book on CH-53E's. Hopefully that means another book is coming. I have all the Academy big helis and some in multiples so very welcome volumes indeed.
  7. I'd use Pacer Formula 560 aka canopy cement from them. Way better adhesion than PVA and totally water soluable.
  8. Ok now I'm mad! Why is they can get this exquisite detail in a 1/48 scale kit and all we got was basics from Trumpeter in 1/32. It's not fair!!! I need to set something on fire.....
  9. He's probably to busy working on the SU27 UB canopies to get on the forums.
  10. Wow. What a grouch. Not everyone is going to search for a happiness thread. There are other sites for that. P.S.- I ordered almost $200 worth of stuff because of this thread. So get over it.
  11. I got mine a week or so ago. I have to say topnotch work as always by Chris. A must buy if you have the kit(s). P.S.- Still waiting on the SU-27 UB canopy! Whats it been 10 years now?
  12. This comment wins the thread!
  13. I really appreciate you trying hopefully it works later.
  14. Ok. Well maybe I’ll give up this idea. To much work.
  15. I have a dozen or so Daco 737s so that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks Tom
  16. Everything I have read about the Minicraft kit it isn't worth dragging home. And the Airfix kit has issues with the cockpit forward. And with either one I would still have to buy another kit and sacrifice one Revell kit. And for what I paid for the Revell kits its still cheaper to cut two up to make one than buy either a Airfix or Minicraft kit too.
  17. I want to do a Fedex 727-200. I have 2 727-100 Revell kits how much do I need to put behind the wings and how much in front of the wings to get this correct? I could hunt an Airfix kit if need be and use the Revell nose if that makes more sense. Thanks
  18. I have been waiting on the 2 seat canopy for years now (around 10 I think). So don't feel bad.
  19. Alcohol will turn resin to jelly if prolonged soaking is done. Found out the hard way.
  20. Totally understand. I would have liked to meet you and buy stuff from you. But I will just have to buy stuff from you via the site. Thanks
