  1. i been using squadrons white putty with no problems. my LHS got a stock of tams white putty. i gave it a try and feel the same as you do. drys fast and is hard to sand due to the fact is drys real hard. only good thing it doesn't shrink.
  2. i picked up a hasegawa 1/48 Ah-64d and was wondering if there is any aftermarket decals available for this kit? thanks!
  3. I've heard tam primer is awesome but i have never given it a try. i use gunze surfacer 1200 straight from the can. it comes out a little ruff but a quick two thousand grit wet sand does the job.
  4. thin light coats. thats white for you. don't get frustrated. i got stumped on this also.
  5. are you suppose to mix the 91 and 70 together? i got confused on that. thanks!
  6. really? i was told their acrylic thinner doesn't work with tam acrylics. i have to give it a try. thanks!
  7. well, we all know how much of a pain it is to get a hold of tams thinner. i've been told you can use gunze thinner with tams acrylics. is this true or false? what other thinners are you using for your tam acrylics? thanks for info!
  8. for the detail it has and the price it blows the hase kit away. i got the hase 32nd 109 F4 and it's awesome. for the price you can' beat the trump kit because it comes with rubber wheels and photo etched and still cheaper then the hase kit.
  9. im happy with the monogram kit. price tag on this kit is proble going to be high.
  10. the kit cockpit is perfectly fine. don't bother with the aires pit.
  11. thats only shipping within the states. sorry.
  12. try using more thinner and spraying closer. it's most likely drying before it hits the surface causing the grainy feel.
  13. four P-47's two 47D's one academy and one tam tam 47D razorback tam 47M two tam A6M2's tam A6M3 tam A6M5
  14. i thin/mix in the brush. no problems. i'll normally tilt the brush to the side so the thinner gets all in there then stir it. i feel if you put the paint in first then add thinner N stir without tilting it doesn't thin it all the way to the bottom of the cup.
  15. looking good. i got the eduard and hobby boss kit.
  16. i never built a hasegawa A6. all my zero's are tam kits. i want their A6M7 and M8 to finish it off. the large cowling on the M8 is awesome. only hase japanese i have is their Ki61,frank,and N1K1.
  17. go for tamiya or monogram. i know that monogram released one for 2011. it's $20 and will blow away the italeri/esci stuff. i have the tam and mono kit. both are great. tam is more detailed and double the price but you can never go wrong with tam kits.
  18. thanks for the replies and help!!!
  19. they always says to apply decals to a gloss finish. some say add decals then gloss over them. im honestly confused. So, whats your way of decals and clear coats? thanks!
  20. bump! trade also 1/48 tamiya P-47D Razorback with aeromaster wolf pack decals. $50 shipped.
  21. monogram FTW! i never touch italeri kits.
  22. lookin good! are these limited kits just reboxes of older kits?
  23. italeri has a boxy front and needs to be rescribed. this is what i heard. i have never built this kit. i have a tendency to not touch italeri kits tamiya like the italeri has a boxy front. awesome kit like all tamiya kits. crappy cockpit with no details. monogram/revell has the best shape and i'st accurate but needs a lot of test fitting because they don't have the best fit. no complaints for the price. hobby boss is a great kit. never built one because of the steep price. so, they say the best hogs in 1/48 is monogram and hobby boss. i have yet to actually build my tamiya kit. i did cu
