  1. I've never been part of a group build, but I have 2 A-4's sitting that might be just the ticket. Either an Aggressor scheme or a TA-4J in the numbers of one my pops flew. Need to drag out his log books.
  2. Hey guys- I picked up a 1/48 OV-10 years ago and broke it out today to start looking it over. It's 97.96734% complete. Missing one of the spinners. I guess the seller knew this (and I should have looked it over better after receiving it) so he threw in what looks like a spinner from the same model, already glued with a busted prop. Looks like run of the mill CA or model glue, not a plastic welder. Is there anything I can soak these parts in that will dissolve the glue but not eat the plastic so I can salvage the spinner?
  3. Sounds like 1:9 Toluene/Methylene Choride is worth exploring. Yeh, the eye is a precious thing. I am typically fairly religious about PPE. Eyes and ears - we only get one set. Reminds me of a recent event that happened just last weekend. I was cleaning a carb I wanted to get cleaned in a mild rush, I neglected to put my eyes on. As I was applying pressure to the carb cleaner nozzle I remember distinctly thinking "you should really be wearing glasses" and it was too late.. I caught the full burst of cleaner right in my eye. One of my kids was in the shop with me and I gathered her up and s
  4. Hey guys- I've been out of the hobby for quite some time - lost all my stuff to a house fire a few years back - and even before that, it had been some time since I built a model. Well, I have been piddling with the idea of getting back into the hobby and won an auction on a 1/48 TA-4J last night, so I guess I should at least build it. Starting 100% from scratch here. I don't even know if I have an Xacto anymore. LOL Anyway.. I used to use Tenax 7R as my go to adhesive, but see that it has since been maybe discontinued and then reforumlated and this has made me start to research glues. I
  5. Hey guys- Long time lurker here.. I've been thinking about getting back into building and I was at work today thinking about building and thought I'd throw this post up.. I used to build, a bunch, when I was a kid. I wasn't great, but I wasn't bad either. Well, I had a huge stash built up of all the kits I expected to start building when I got "back into it" and this past January we lost our house to a fire. I lost my stash, etc. I also lost a lot of other things for the hobbies I had at the time - including flying RC. Well, I've been thinking about that hobby. I enjoyed BUILDING almost m
  6. Those of you in favor of letting the computers do the flying have obviously never received the BSOD whilst in cruise at 37,000'. Letting computers do most of the work? Sure. They already do. Getting rid of the meat sack up front? No thanks.
  7. You guys still doing the box? I'd like to get in.. :)
