Hey Bill, In my "internet roamings" I've never come across any masks for the kit you mentioned but you might want to check with the guy (I can't remember his name off hand) who runs Heli-Kit news. If there is anyone online who might know he's your guy! Good luck now! Tim

A "close encounter" of another kind indeed....!!!

Excellent.....truly inspirational. The only thing I don't get is why the red boarding ladder is not touching the ground -what am I missing? Tim

Hey Arnold, I have 2 IWATA airbrushes and absolutely love them, however they might be a little bit more than you are prepared to spend so I would suggest you check out the following link: Sparmax airbrush I saw these listed over on Lucky Models website and they look almost identical to the one IWATA I am currently using - the only thing different is the design of the paint cup. Good luck now! Tim U.S.A.

I'm thinking about getting one but before I make the committment I was wondering if there is one or two guys out there who already have the tool and could give me their honest opinions. As always, thanks!! Tim

Hey Jack, I think it was a couple of weeks ago, just after the end of the Nurenburg Toy Fair, that there was a post on here about Academy's upcoming CH-53E kit. Somebody put up a couple of pictures that were taken from at the show. Good luck, Tim

Excellent tip Ernie.....I'm gonna have to give them a try! Happy Modeling, Tim

I've built about 4 or 5 Academy kits and it seems like I've always had a heck of a time with their decals....so since I'm debating about getting this kit I'd like to hear from someone who's used the kit decals. Thanks guys! Tim

Definitely gives a good "size perspective".......GREAT JOB! Tim

Come on now....'fess up, you're really working on one in 1/32nd scale - only "magicians" could that much detail into a 1/72nd scale kit.......GRIN.

Like the "comparison" shot of the fan blades.....nothing like celebrating a "little" diversity among kit manufacturers! Nice pic & good luck with the kit. Tim

You iz one very lucky DAWG.....!!! Nice shots!

Hey Jurgen, I can't speak to the issue of Microscale's FLAT coat but I've been using Humbrol's FLAT coat for almost 10 years now and have always been happy with the results. Of course the key I've found with using Hunbrol's FLAT is to make sure mix it up REALLY REALLY good! Maybe you want to give the stuff another shot on a different type of model or surface....... Good luck! Tim

Hey "Flanker"....Greetings! Can you tell me how you got ahold of the Streem kit? I've been looking for information everywhere but with no luck. Thanks! Tim

I came across this site and thought I'd pass it along.....I ordered from them with no problems Blu - Tack

Yo, Honda.....VERY NICE WORK!! Thanks for sharing the inspiration and WELCOME! Tim

Thanks Tony....!! I sent you a PM...

I messed up a couple of the clear parts on my kit and would like to buy a replacement kit. Does anyone know where I could find one of these for sale here in the USA? Thanks! Tim

I've been using Testors Airbrush Cleaning Station for almost 10 years now and have been very happy with how it works. I also build close to a window so whenever I spray paint I open the window and use a window fan to suck out any errant fumes and such. Of course I only use Acrylics so I'm not sure how things would be if you are one to use Enamels. Good luck, Tim

Awesome work.......!!!

Thanks Dave!

Okay, I have finally acquired one of Trumpeter's Mil-24 Hind kits and would like to know if there are any after-market decals that I can use to create some other Russian camo scheme than what comes in the box. I'm looking for something with a three-tone scheme - just not the one that is presented in the kit. As always, thanks for your time & input! Tim

Looks good so far......

I could sure do without crazy Mike Wallace's voice in the background.....GRIN.....It would certainly be interesting to see what he'd have to say now that the Osprey has successfully made its way into frontline Marine aviation units.....Hoooorah!

Whoa Baby.......that was truly INCREDIBLE!!!!
