Thank you very much for ponting out the mistakes, That's why I post here!! Do you see now what happens when you put a model on a newbie's hands? lol, I had no Idea about the missiles (had to google them :blush: )thanks again, yeah I forgot about the parts on the wings, already in place. I know my modeling "style" is not focused on acuracy, as it might be, sometimes I do what I can with what I have, sometimes I do it because I like it that way and sometimes because I just have no idea, like in this case. The thing is these models are built for the personal collection I have with my brother, a -

More Hope you like it -
This has been the most "challenging" model for me, an amateur, so far, with almos no reference and trying to make it as similar as possible, as the real plane. Now that is finished I'm pretty happy with the result, It has lots of flaws but judging my other models this one is superior IMHO! So I guess my time spent here is paying off little by little! the idea is to get better and through baby steps I'm accomplishing it! Thank you very much for all those tips dedicated to us, newbies such us myself! The WIP is HERE in case you wanna take a look

I've spent two evenings reading this thread from the beginning and I'm kinda sad there's nothing else, so far, to read! what a journey, Definatly Oliver and you are from another planet, I've seen good modelers, excellent modellers, but you guys are ridiculous! Alexander I can't buy say WOW! great job! I'll be following this epic build for sure

Wow! another level of modeling! incredible build! some of the best figures I've ever seen! they look so alive!

Great pics Chuck! I want you to come back to work on the hog too!! Glad to know you're having a good time -
Here's the thing, I live in a small town in Guatemala, no hobby shops around, but next week a friend of mine is going to be in San Antonio Tx.in order to avoid an expensive price for shipping I'd like to buy some stuff and send it to him so he can bring it to me. But I have no idea of where to buy and if shipping is gonna be fast enough. Would you have an idea to get this acomplished? Do you know an online shop where I could find some resin accesories and tools? I'd love to have a riveter since I've been doing my rivets one by one with a needle in a pin-vise and accesories to rescribe such

kike replied to chuck540z3's topic in In-Progress Pics
Sorry to hear about your issue, but I'm sure you'll get around it. One small question regarding painting technique. When it comes to Glosscote, what's, in your opinnion, a good glosscote-thinner ratio? and how much presure you use? I used your painting tips with my last build and it worked wonders! thank you very much, I think I wont be seeing dusty paint anymore! -
