Heyo, I currently have a paasche Talon, and I like it cause I have a tiny needle for real fine spray. I am in need of a new brush though. My index finger can no longer bend to control it w/o pain after using it for a few minutes. I’d like to get a trigger brush, or pistol grip. Grex has a couple, Neo has a couple and Iwata has one. Does anyone have suggestions? All of my reading suggests they have a medium spray and are not ideal for fine work. Does anyone have experience w/ these? Or thoughts? Any insights are appreciated!!!!! Dave

Thank you, however, I’m going to be calling it quits on this one. I’m going to finish it, but no more major efforts.

I didn’t know we were supposed to read the, “instructions?”

That’s what I use, however I brushed it on

Windex or airbrush cleaner is what I use. If you use laquer, don’t let it sit too long or you’ll need new seals.

Thank you for the replies. Well I cracked the canopy like spiderwebs. As sad as it is it’s ok. This is my first Kit like this and all the decals are disintegrating, even with ample decal liquid.

Heyo guys, I’m working on a Grand Phoenix Firefly if running to an issue with the canopy. I probably Did something wrong while building, as this is truly my first experience with resin. There’s a large step on the port side of the fuselage. If I press it down harder the step Is resolved, however creates the opposite effect on the rear starboard side. Anyone have any solutions as to how to fix this other than lots and lots of sanding? Edit: poor grammar

I might be able to get you the rest. I have at least two. I can probably get you the other six. What are you working on? -

Heyo everyone, I’m looking for a set of 1/48 flaps and some monetx masks. Located near Hamilton, Ontario. -
If you stopped buying more models, how many of you think you will finish your stash before you die? I’m 30 years old and my wife doesn’t think I can finish mine.

Heyo all, I am looking for some help. I am working on a dc-3 and c-47. I have painted the D-Day markings on the fuselage. I am ready to apply the fuselage decals and wat to spray white behind them to prevent bleed through. I have cut the appropriate sized masks out of the wide Tamiya tape, but I have stalled here. When I apply it to the fuselage the tape crinkles and distorts. Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue on the compound curve here. Thanks, Dave.

I tried sednding a PM, but did not work -
I have been reading countless magazines about modeling. I absolutely enjoy reading them at work because I can fold them up in my back pocket and pull them out when I have a moment. One constant that I’ve noticed in these magazines is the lack of description as to order of the build, and time management. One thing I’m very poor at this time management and how to spend more time at the desk before I have to let things dry. Only now am I starting to actually think about subcomponents and their place. My last build is still sitting on my desk as I’m constantly waiting fo

So don’t I feel stupid, I finally realize that there’s a difference between cat filling and fixing step misalignments. I’ve been cursing left right and centre trying to figure out how to fill gaps. Only to realize now that my question should’ve been how to properly fill and fix steps and misalignments between parts. So how do I fix these steps and misalignments? Without creating oblong parts? thanks, Dave

I have only used it once. Part of the problem is your foil, the quality of grocery store foil DOES make a difference. The model does look good, I wouldn’t give up on it yet if that’s the only issue. Dave
