With weather improving next week I am planning on starting this project back up but still need a bottle of the correct white airbrush paint.

Because I am still learning how to operate an airbrush for the first time this project will not show very rapid progress but because of the interesting subject I hope everyone will want to have patience :) A long while ago the Revell 1:144 An-124 was about to come out and I just had to have one, bought it the moment my local hobbystore (now sadly closed because the two brothers operating it suddenly died from a muscle deteriating disease :( ). Upon doing my usual online research for choosing the livery a link popped up with a picture showing an aircraft fuselage going into the cargo hold of

I did try to remove the images and wanted to work WITH everyone NOT AGAINST them but I guess being upfront with the photographer about removal problems (was having password issues) made him go agressive and have me banned from the Tomcat Sunset forums with everyone becoming complete mutes so yes I am sweating the issue. It left me without a valuable source of reference for Tomcat models. You can count on it that I will never be honest OR upfront with anyone anymore because of the "gratitude" one gets, I'm not being a crybaby here but there are 2 sides to a story and feel that mine needs to be

Does anyone know if and how these compare to the Chinese variants, did they do a straight copy like they did with the aircraft? I am specifically looking for the layout and sizes of the Chinese military Hainan airfield.

Jake that's the thing, had I been aware I would not have reposted the pictures in the first place because I am NOT one of those 'something for nothing' people, a testament of which is my car restoration project that is entirely managed and paid for by myself, hell I even went so far as to take on a majority of the work without any prior experience. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining about the copyright itself because it is there for a reason, I fully respect that and hear what you are saying, I just find it very disappointing that communication was in my case a one-way street.

Yea people get burned when they are straightforward and indicate to a copyrighted person that they have trouble removing pictures (honest mistake because I am usually extremely careful and respectful with this kind of stuff) but are making every possible effort to have it resolved as soon as possible and then the person just gets in a frenzy and has a permanent non-expiring ban issued. I am thinking of just throwing all my type specific plane models in the dumpster (lots of Hasegawas with Verlinden update sets and all) including a huge 1:18 example because it left an extremely bad and negativ

Tamiya X4 has been acquired, now I just need to locate and mark the white area where the two vertical stripes are located in the dark blue underbelly. Has anyone been successful with this?

Been a very long time since my last post but I ended up going the smart route and chose a Revell airbrush to get started, now I just need to learn spraying with that and find out how to paint a 1:144 Revell An-124 in Air Polet Cargo colors. What base colors if any should be used before white and dark blue?

Thanks, your site was actually the first one I looked at and will be keeping it in my bookmarks

Not wanting to just blurt out random questions I decided on a Google search to get educated first and came up with this very useful link that looks worthy to be shared. http://www.craigcentral.com/models/ab.asp With all that in mind my motivation is as follows: Not seeing the point of spending $$$ on two airbrushes for large areas and detailed stuff a double action airbrush is what I will likely be going for. Lower air pressure + fine line capability makes me want gravity feed. Fine and smooth finish sounds good for internal mix and make me want that but no real motivation is given for e

Thanks for the help, not being a professional builder (yet) what websites do I need to be looking at that can tell me the closest color?

I tried to locate the new member introduction topic but must have overlooked it... :)

New to posting here but have been an occasional guest lurker. I've got WAY too many kits on the shelf but am trying to limit myself to special interest projects like the one currently underway. My example of Revell's 1:144 An-124 will eventually become Air Polet Cargo's RA-82077, the plane that hauled an EP-3E Aries II (BuNo 156511) from China in 2001. The cool thing is that a 1:144 Orion is also waiting on construction so with a bit of luck I will be turning them both into an awesome diorama project. http://www.slideshare.net/ronaldl/yearofthebat My problem is that Revell's color choice d
