  11. I have been waiting for a topic like this for a while now, The capillary technique I use to do using Humbrol 33 and turps and a fine point brush, works reeeaallly well on the big engines Tamiya use to make for their motorbikes in 1/12th. Usual dry brushing of Gun metal, Humbrol paints over Tamiya sprays, Blue tack for masking, ( works really well on Luftwaffe camo... sky blue all over then mask and dot up using the blue tack, try different spray angles for " feathering"), used mainly Tamiya sprays don't have an airbrush, but now as i have the Tamiya make up kits I'm finding they dilute well

  13. HEHE HE you fix it... you fly it... like it....
  14. is wondering when the gaffa tape will start to play a major role in model construction...... spare the tape, spoil the job......
  15. i could never get Ebbw vale here in brisbane. its pronounced ebbA vale. and Booval.... is Boovale if you please. I like canadian speak and customs. you guys are as relaxed as us Orstrayliens. zed zed top . yup get that. the one i liked is kawasaki released thier "ninja" brand of enginecycles in america instead of them being the GPz series..... i ride a Gee Pee Zeeeeeeeeee woooo hoooooo... thats the story i hear anyway....
  16. bout a buck fifty a litre. and yeah.... people who drive 4wd's in the city? pfffttt w*nkers. i sit there and listen to people whinge bout how much it costs to fill thier cages up and laugh. 20 bucks a week gets me to and from work and round town. i love my engine cycle.( N.B. MOTORS are electric.)
  17. get on your enginecycle...( motors are electric... no such thing as a 4 stroke motor or an electric engine....:)) and go for a blat to clear the cobwebs. go look at hobby shops and drool. then watch old war movies and cool stuff. works for me.
  18. planning another war with canada? chuckles.... i dunno... the starfighter in maple leaf shytes all over the yank version,I mean the marking s on the yank version scream to me "shoot HERE!" and i dont get what you mean by the f 18's. they all look gay. no style IMO, sorry to say just never been into 'em. and no im not a canadian, but a fellow of the local commonwealth :D :P
  19. point to make tho. but yeah... went about it the wrong way... as if lambo give a toss... they have his money and i always thought everything Italian was known to break down/be unreliable and hideously expensive. I have a friend who is all wrapped up in his ducati monster, doesnt hardly ever ride it (crime) keeps it in the garage, and has now become a ducati poser. try to tell him it s just an engine cycle and he gets all defensive.... like a name and a design that wasnt ducatis original idea makes it shrine worthy..... but hey back to the story... so what? he smashes his car.... it is just a c
  20. like the title says have just purchased a few great wall hobby kits of late, a 6 barrell nebelwurfer.... only the trailer is plastic, the rest is PE and brass barrells, a Focke wolf owl in 48th, PE belts rudder pedals and inside flaps, and a strap for the mud gaurd on MLG. Are these guys heaps new? are they just re hashes of old dragon kits? they smell like dragon kits, the plastic is very similiar in mouldings but they seem to be doing a wiiiiiiiiddee range of PE for your battleships and etc. will post pics but for the moment im debating wether to glue or solder the nebelwurfer together, and
  21. would love to hear a meteor high speed low pass..... would be absolutly awesome. last airshow i ever went to and i couldnt tell you where it was... i was like 9 or 10.... there was a mustang.... i remember standing behind it as it started up, feet on the bottom wire of the fence and leaning against the top wire with my belly and hanging on as it started up... also remeber they had a mitchell there.... the "esso" tiger mitchell saw that fly and got a matchbox 1/72 lysander into the bargain. The only rel strike of luck was when i was in my early teens, was working (kinda) with my dad at william
  22. yeah i got sent that link, i had never seen them fly at all and only had a vague memory of my brother building a few. it blew me for 6 that video.... love the bit where they fly lower than the bridge of the ship...... mind wobbling..... i want one in 48th.... more than that i want to have a passenger ride......
