    I'm dropping in to look, but I haven't posted in a long while.

    My vote is with jbryan911. Super Clean. I've used it to remove lacquers clean down to the bare plastic. It's safe on clear parts, too. Just let it soak and remove any stubborn paint with a toothbrush. Easy peasy! -O

    If I remember correctly, the old AMT kit has the RS split bumper front end like the photo above, but it also has the Z-28 badges on the fender and grill. Your buddy's Camaro looks like it has the RS badge on the fender. Besides those small details, it looks like the AMT kit is a good starting point for your project. My first car was a '70 split bumper RS. If you go forward with your project, I'd be very interested in its progress. Good luck! -O

    I've used a mesh backpack. It gets pretty warm on the flightline, and the clear plastic backpack I had didn't breath. It ventilated better than the clear PVC bag and was much more comfortable to wear in the heat. Besides that, it kept the contents much cooler, too. That's not an issue if your clear PVC bag isn't a backpack, but l found that backpacks were a little more convenient. I know that the website says that only clear bags are permitted, but I've used my mesh backpack with no problems the last few years I've gone. It was explained to me that because the contents of the bag were visible,

    Yes, please! That's very kind of you! The kits did not come with decals. Actually, both were started and had some decals applied. I have none to use for my restoration(s). -O

    Hey BastianD, great work! I have a pair that my wife found at a yard sale that need a restoration. The project is in the planning works. I haven't started yet, but your build has given me the itch! Nice effort and results! Cheers, -O

    Curt, for what it's worth, that article and photos were published in early 2021. Here's a link to my photo of the same jet taken in November, 9 months later. The colors' fading is definitely obvious. Cheers, -O

    Part 2: 195th AHC in SEA camo, zapped by the USAF's 20th SOS I know they're not the most recent and accurate wonder kit, but they still look like Hueys...and that's good enough for me. Thanks for looking! Comments, questions and criticisms are welcome. Happy modelling! -O

    Here's another pair that I built for my personal theme for 2023, "Pairs." These are Esci Hueys built mostly OOB with Werner's Wings decals. The only changes I made to the kits are to change one of the Hueys to a "true" -D by scratching a pitot for the nose. I also added some paper seatbelts and used some styrene to add inertia reel boxes to the backs of the pilots' seats. Some various antennas were sourced from the spares box and other kits. I used some PE "loops" that I found in the spares to make rotor tie down points on the blades, then I used some shaped wire, a random PE buckle, and some

    CAUTION: PICTURE HEAVY Hello rotor fans, here are 2 little Kiowas that I built to fit my theme for 2023, "Pairs." Both were built (mostly) OOB with some minor additions used to repair some broken or missing parts. Speaking of missing and/or broken parts, I didn't add the curved antennas attached to the fuselage sides behind the crew doors. Those were broken beyond repair. And even if I could get them repaired, their assembly would've been dicey, at best. Also, I didn't notice the stinger's tip on the OD airframe was broken until I was taking the photos.
