Hi everyone, Long-time no see! Hope everyone is well. Finally pulling the plug on this hobby as my health and eyes are shot to bits. I’ve been holding on to this A-7E kit and associated AM parts in the vague hope of getting better enough to complete it, but I don’t see that happening (excuse the pun 😊). Anyway, here’s the list. Prices are in Australian dollars and do not include shipping. Let me know your location and I'll get you an estimate based on the AusPost website. For anyone in Sydney who would like to pick up, I also have a s#1tload of various tools

Hi there chaps, Apologies for going AWOL. 2021 has been (as I'm sure it has been for all of you) an extremely challenging year to say the least. Unfortunately I have had some rather serious health issues that have taken me away from the bench and will probably keep me away for the foreseeable future. I hold onto some kits in the faint hope that I can someday return to the hobby, but until I overcome these health issues, I'm afraid I'm just going to be lurking on here ogling at all your fine builds. Anyway, thank you all for your concern and hopefully one day I can retur

Hi all, After a five or so year hiatus I've decided to dust off the tools and get back into the modelling scene. I'd sold off pretty much all my stash except for my 1/32 A-7E with all the AM goodies including the complete Zacto set. That may prove a step too far to start off with so I'm going to ease myself into it with a nice, relatively simple build. Having been out of the scene for quite a while I'm not really up to speed on what new kits are out there. Any suggestions on a good reboot kit would be greatly appreciated. Modern jet in 1/48 is what I usua

Sepecat Jaguar GR3.A / GR1.A in 1/12th Scale
Crazy Snap Captain replied to Timmy!'s topic in In-Progress Pics
Timmy, This is incredible work. Just outstanding. Could you post a couple of pics with something we could use as a scale reference. I'm curious to see how small this detail is. Thanks and congrats on the amazing work so far! -
Dude, This is EPIC. Outstanding achievement. Well done.

Angelos, That looks amazing mate. The weathering is spot on. Love the dented fuel tank. Bravo!

BaconRayGun, Thanks for your reply. Yeah, after doing research on the net I think this is a job for a pro. It's previously been painted with clear but not filled. Going more for looks than weight saving.

Thanks E. Yes this is 1:1 scale. So what about sanding prep? Is anything required?

Hi lads, Not really modelling related but thought I'd ask in case anyone has experience. I'm trying to get a gloss finish on a carbon fibre wing for my car and was wondering what the best paint/prep method would be. Anyone here have experience working with Carbon Fibre? Any tips highly appreciated...

Kitty Hawk 1/32 Mirage 2000
Crazy Snap Captain replied to Crazy Snap Captain's topic in Jet Modeling
Anyone got any updates on this? I've seen a few new CAD images floating around the webs but no release date except for vague references to the "end of 2018". -
Hi J, Thanks for your comments mate. I have kept a couple of kits (literally just 2) that I will still do. I was actually going to have a full fire sale and sell all my tools, paints and other stuff, but when I started cataloging everything I got sentimental and decided to hold on to them. I'm sure my mojo will return soon. maybe I just need to clean the slate and start over again. My biggest issue is time. I haven't been on the forums for over a year but since coming back on I can feel the tingle coming back...maybe...

Hi there chaps, I’m clearing the stash as I no longer have the time or, to be honest, the patience for the hobby.

Here’s the merchandise (everything as new and complete). Prices in USD. PayPal only thanks: 1/32 AM: Eduard BIG ED F-15E full PE set - $30 Rhino Models F-15 Intake Set for Tamiya - $20 QuickBoost F-15E Ejection Seats - $10 ZactoModels AIM-9L/M Sidewinders - $20

Run an X-acto knife down the panel lines and then add more solvent. Works a treat.

For sale is my Sotar 20/20 Model 2020-2 Airbrush. I have only used this baby once so it's pretty much as new! It's too much airbrush for me. I could never use it too it's full potential as I'm just a hack. Comes with 2 needles and tips (0.2mm and 0.45mm) and a quick release valve attachment point. Throwing in a 3m hose as well. Price new is anywhere between $220 - $275USD new. Your price today $120 USD delivered. Here is a review of the airbrush >>Sotar 2020 Review<< PM me if your keen. Thanks for looking!
