Another Q, i am sure some of you know the answer to. The Billing Boats kit with 9 paint tins, is this an enamel paint and is it any good? Boatbuilders...anyone?

Are these results useful? Yes Nope

And these are some of the Humbrol ones..thinking i should frame them, lol..

I recently acquired a batch of old paints. Mostly Humbrol enamels, and indeed some oddities i`ve never seen before including some fluorescent paints. But something else peaked my curiosity the most. Some kind of alu.tins with screw on lids. German text on them. Anyone know what type of paint these are?

So now we can all watch our paints dry together? Wow...i mean if i had unlimited funds...maybe...but in the real world. NOPE !

No this is not the answer i am looking for, you will have to rewrite your reply in full The above comparison is an interesting observation. So many share an interest in aviation, but how much do they actually know about the actual airscrews and their technical abilities? Was there a push from the industry to market certain brands that would be "superior" to other brands? From the top of my head i have heard of Hamilton, Rotol, De Havilland, Curtiss, but i feel i know too little about them. I suppose variable pitch is the industry standard these days? Not exactly sure what a consta

Just wondering.. Were propellers type specific or engine specific or both? I would like to learn more about propellers, lol... I am sure some of you guys out there know more than i do 😉

Welcome to the real world i guess. As far as i have understood, US consumers have been living a very good life without being "sanctioned" by any import fees for years or god knows for how long. A sweet story, but nothing lasts forever right. It sounds like a lot of the time this proves to be a dealbreaker which is a shame, but i feel the same way. It bugs me much more that liquids like small tins of paint are banned from overseas shipments because of the EU and all their rules (i wish they would just collapse and die)

I am sure many out there never heard about these...so i thought it be a good idea to share it here. I recently found out there was a thing called COACHLINER paint brushes. They have a special purpose since they have very long thin brushes. I am sure they go by other names as well, maybe pin striper is a similar thing. I`m thinking since i`ve never ever seen a hobby shop carry one, it is because many people don`t know about them. I am sure they would be a great addition in a plastic modelers tool kit. The below is just a random ebay link for such a product.. https://www.

It`s called Monogram for a reason. If you add any AM it would be a Multigram 😅

I hope you didn`t miss the salmon sale, lol.

Do you think our models eventually get a patina? How long does a paintjob really last? Is exposure to sunlight an issue or will patina manifest itself regardless?

So the ones you have, are they metal? I mean, the fascination here on arcair i would claim to be plastic. So...there is a big gap right there.

Not being 100% sure what die cast implies, i understand them to be made of some type of metal alloy...something along the lines of what a toy gun would be made of. But this age old die cast hype, i never understood and still don`t. I am sure many of you know more than i do. I see there is a BUNCH of different brands out there.
