" By Mary Vorsino mvorsino@starbulletin.com As far back as 1999, when he moved to Maui from New Mexico, Noshir S. Gowadia was marketing himself to foreign countries as the "father" of the classified technology that helps protect B-2 stealth bombers from heat-seeking missiles, according to an affidavit unsealed yesterday.

I use solvent resistant rubber gloves. But most of the time I use only one glove on my left hand (which handles the model) for airbrushing (with the right hand). GG

Wow! Thanks for all replies! Now I have a lot of leads to do some research! GG

Is there any squadron markings which depicts a horse? I'm looking for something similar to the VF-143 "Puking Dogs" griffon insignia, but with a horse (or unicorn)... Don't ask me why, please! Thanks, GG

Some suggestions: RoG (Revell of Germany) 1/72 Tornado (newest molds) GR.1 (04696) and ECR #04617) 1/72 F-16C (04633) 1/72 F-16B (04355) 1/48 Rafale M and Rafale B GG

Very nice! I was looking for some of these too! Thank you! <_< GG

What do you mean by "removing excess glue"? If I understand your question you'll have to sand and polish the affected areas. And rescribe them, if that's the case. GG

Are you talking about industrial sewing machines or domestic ones? Industrial sewing machines looks better, although I never used one. GG

Maskol? GG ;)

I made this same question months ago... From what I gathered, yes, lacquer thinner are nitrocellulose made so they're the same thing. But there are different types of lacquer thinner for different weather conditions or applications... stronger ones for cleaning tools and doing rough paint jobs and weaker ones for better finishing quality. Yes, some people use lacquer thinner when using acrylics! But you'd better do some tests before... GG

I go through about 1 gallon every two months !! Mainly for cleaning the airbrush and such And how many built kits you average per month? GG

That kit looks too good to be true... :blink: GG

In my book everybody should try to respect other people sensibilities. This is not the same thing as "political correctness". :P I do like the ad, but I think they should have changed the setting, just to avoid any trouble. As it is it just fuels anti-US propaganda. GG

I read that the current 46 airframes will be modernized. Also there are recent news about Brazil seeking to purchase some F-5 from Saudi Arabia. Edit: corrected 48 to 46. GG

It looks like a laser guided Sidewinder cousin... GG

Ok, my bet is that this topic is going to be CLOSED really soon. GG

Really nice build! Very realistic paint job! Congrats! GG

Ahh, nice.. thank you... :o But still I can't figure it out if the rear section is golden or smoked... Thinking about it... are there "smoked" canopies on F-16s? ;) GG
