Interesting. I have noticed, too, that my CA stays thinner longer when I use lids from plastic water bottles as containers.

Very Nice!

Nicely done! Its a real beauty!

Are you in the States? If so then go to Hasegawausa.com. Under their customer service link they have an email address that you can send parts requests to.
You'll need to know the kit number and the sprue tree letter. They will send you the entire sprue...not just the single part which in this case works out just right for you.
I think they charge $10 or $15. I'm not sure which. But...the price is the same no matter how many sprues you order.
Be ready to wait a bit, too. It takes about 4 weeks for the sprue to arrive.

Not really. The problem is that the Future becomes a bit tacky as it "melts."Could you use a soft cloth LIGHTLY moistened with windex to gently buff out minor future blemishes?

Welcome back!

You could use Tamiya Smoke to go over the panel lines. Just use light thin coats and build it up slowly. This will darken the lines evenly over a complex camo job. And you can use highly thinned brown colors over the wear & tear areas.

Very nice!

Great work!

Its not on the list but the 1960's TWA Twin Globes was the best, hands down.

Very nice! I've got a Hase -C model with TwoBobs Bitburg decals. Hopefully mine turns out as good!
-
Impressive! Nice work with the pilots!

Maybe you'd get more bites if you advertised it on the AWA Facebook page.

Because law or no law there is a consequence for your actions. You break into your neighbors house and you risk getting shot. Besides, a law isn't really stopping you from doing that is it?Society works because we all subscribe to social conventions that are reflected in the law. For some people that is good enough, for others laws or more importantly the consequences of breaking the law, are what drives their behavior. Otherwise why would I waste my time going to work every day when I can just go to my neighbors house and steal his food?
Yes, this proves my point.Yes some people will never change their behavior even when murder is illegal there will still be murder, I understand that, but most murders will tell you it was done either in the heat of the moment (ie not In a logical state of mind) or the perp thought they could get away with it . Either case the law is ineffective. However a person in a rational state of mind will do whatever has the most net benefit (benefit-cost).
Who are you to tell me what I should do or shouldn't? For the record I always buckle up but that isn't your concern. You need to concentrate on how you live your life not how I should be living mine.What is the "cost" of wearing a seat belt vs not wearing one. The law tips this balance toward wearing a seat belt.
Here's another fatal flaw in your logic...like the "as long as the results are good" logic that you mentioned in a previous post. There are a million and one things I could think of right now that would make life safer. For example, I invented an inflatable suit that will help protect you from injury from falling or getting hit by something. We need to make this a law because it makes you safer and the rationale behind it doesn't matter. This is basically what you are saying.
Dude, you are way off here and you're putting words in my mouth. Please quote me where I said that wearing a seatbelt isn't the safer course of action. I said the law doesn't save you.As for seat belts not saving lives just keep telling yourself that. I have plenty of EMS buddies and DOT stats that say different.
You can cite your DOT stats 'till you're blue in the face but what you can't do is prove that a seatbelt law had anything to do with it. There is no possible way you could tell me why certain people wear seat belts and why certain people don't.
And in any event you've missed the original point. The (local state) seatbelt laws were created as the result of a financial interest from the auto insurance industry...not your safety. Just like mandatory insurance. Its for their benefit, not yours.

And for the record I'm not against having laws that are reasonable. I'm not an anarchist. I'm ok with speed limits and that sort of thing. Why? Because its reasonable.
But laws go way to far. Take the US for example. The US code, which is all the federal laws (meaning they apply to the entire country), is something like 75,000 pages long. When stacked up the volumes are about 27 feet high. This is absurd. It is estimated that the average American unknowingly commits three felonies a day.

Based on your logic we should do away with all laws.
This isn't my logic. Its just a fact of life. If you did a little more research on the origin of laws you might understand this better.
Yeah. Duh. Are you suggesting that people would be killing each other everywhere if it weren't for some law written down somewhere? This is called natural law and its ingrained within each and everyone of us. And in spite of the written law people do commit murder everyday. Why? Because some people are just evil. And no government or written law will ever change that.We don't need any laws against murder because the government shouldn't have to tell you not to kill.
Think about it. The people who obey the laws are typically the people who take the moral high ground. These are the people who understand natural law and contract law. Did they really need the law? They treated others the way they wanted to be treated and they did everything they agreed to do. But the people who break the law do it in spite of the fact that its written down somewhere. The law was really written to warn them but they are the very ones who ignore it.
I've got news for you but people still drive drunk and alot of people die every year because of it.We don't need any laws against drinking and driving because it won't stop anyone from driving drunk...
I'm sorry to be offensive but this comment is ignorant on so many levels. And its kinda scary, too.Does it really matter wha the rational is for a law? All that really matters is the out come.
Sorry, but you can't make this claim. Show me one shred of indisputable evidence where a seatbelt law saved a life. And when you think you've come up with an answer I'll say "What about the guy who died because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt? Did the law save him?" You'll say "no" and I'll say "well then the law doesn't save lives." You see, if you say that a seatbelt law saves lives then I can say it doesn't using your very logic.Seat belt laws save lives and CFT lights will save energy.

Its kinda sad that you needed the government to force you to do something the rest of us considered common sense.Wow, lets also cry about the "big government" forcing me to wear seat belt, because if I roll my car into a lake the seat belt may prevent my escape. Oh no! They make me wear a motorcycle cycle helmet so i can't feel the wind in my hair!
The other thing that is sad is that you think the government created these seat belt laws for our safety. They didn't. They created these laws because the auto insurance industry lobbied the government to do so.
It wasn't for safety reasons, although that's what they say it was for. It was because the insurance companies didn't want to pay out hefty claims due to injuries that might have been prevented by the use us seat belts.
There are still thousands of accidents every year in which the victims were not wearing seat belts. How can this be? Its the law now! So a law is only as good as the people who are willing to follow it. The result of the law is now a sort of hidden tax. If you get pulled over and you aren't wearing you seat belt you get fined. If you are in an accident without a seatbelt you get fined.
The law itself doest protect anyone. Only people willing to wear their seat belts does.

...and in an unrelated story:
Several US Congressmen, Senators and other lawmakers, who signed the light bulb law into effect, did very well in their stock portfolios as a result of investing into CFL and LED lighting technology companies. When asked if there was any insider trading they said "No, its strictly a coincidence."

Hi guys. I didn't get a whole lot done this year. I ended up being very busy with work and I think I'm just a slow builder anyway.
Anyway, here's 2013:

Good job!

Heck, I think an hour is plenty.

Dude...stay far away from that Raptor sheen stuff unless you want you F-22 to look like a toy!
The best bet is to use the paints recommended in the Hasegawa F-22 instructions.

Nice work!
