Have the original Chopper too. It's great to make a lot of mitered cuts in strip stock fast. Need framework for a building? Or lots of gussets?
Razor blades are cheap and where the new model shines is the self-healing cutting pad.

Nice enuf reason to make such a purchase - BUT even though you could go straight bottle to do your 454 Chevelle build, the C.E. red is a tad too red for AU Orange match. When I used to work for them on both P-2 & P-3, had to do a touch up job, so Ooops some of the Orange ended up on a 1" x 2" piece of scrap aluminum. I have the Draw sheets and resin RADS II tank (I will correct areas) and did color test. Simply enuf all u gotta do is use (or get a bottle) MM Int. Orange #2022 and mix both 50-50. Then there's scale effect...
-And cloudy/sunny, time of day, etc.
Red/orange are fugitive colors -they change due to Sunlight exposure.

I just got two bottles of MM Chevy Engine Red from Hobbylinc mail order a week ago before seeing this. Testors C.E. red is an exact match for Aero-Union firebombers.

In this and other modeling sites with a forum, starting a topic about Squadron is guaranteed to hit the same issues every single time.
I don't think any of these responses are mean-spirited. Squadron should read these and address the business mechanic to win back our trust.. So many customers with the same problem? -And for years now.. No change.
This much ire has to have hit their bottom line to get someone to notice by now?

..And to think,
Just 30,40,50 some/odd years ago, there was that TRAIN WRECK ..And all those missing Hawk molds..
We generally all get our Lost Kits in time, folks.

110-120f outside no problem for months in a large, un- air conditioned shed.
150F in a car for an hour, Warp City..
As stated, humidity is a big factor too.

No build thread -yet.
I'm using HO scale scenery and buildings with the 1/72 P3 and the same Draw decals and tank.
The borate drop I'm still fuguring out..

Thanks folks. I'm doing a Firebomber diorama using Prop Blurs, and needed to know.

How about the exhaust cans for the new 1/144 Academy B-1B kit.
I'll second that.

Okay, all in 1/24 scale (if I'm gonna pay $120-200.00 for it, it's gotta be BIG)

Durham's can be tricky stuff. Mix it till it's just thicker than pancake batter.
I've used polymer clay as positive mold material with good success too.

Just a quick note to say thank you for this excellent site. It is a daily Must-Stop for me and I get great enjoyment here.
Be Well.

I'm thinking something 50's.. Bright yellow w/silver or gunmetal boots and gloves?
Buster Crabbe was great in the serial!
On the other hand, the box art is true to Revell..

Since a lot of us here have this in common..
Back in 1965, as a 8 year old, I built the coolest model to grace my bedroom shelf. Revells Flash Gordon!
Years later Mom did away with all my built stuff one day -sound familiar?
Onward, I searched for a repop of that kit for three decades, giving up finally a few years ago. 50 years with no release? -Did the molds perish in That Train Wreck? Arrgh.
Long story short Atlantis repopped Flash .. TWO YEARS AGO! Arrrrrrgh.
Amazon is my friend. 43.00 with tax and I get it tomorrow.
Even with my bad eyes ill be assembling Flash tomorrow night.

I just received a ffirebomber tank from him. It took aboüt five weeks to get it. The cast is beautiful and knowing he's a one-man business, I am willing to wait awhile.
