    I use it, and think it’s great, but while it self levels and dries thin, it’s not thin out of the bottle.  It’s fairly thick, and I use an airbrush with a 0.5 needle to spray it because it’s too thick for my normal 0.35 needle.  Also, not sure what thins it.  I’ve started trying Ammo Mig thinner because supposedly their one shot primer is the same thing.  Finally, cleaning the airbrush and color cup can be a chore since it dries pretty quickly and most cleaners, including Badger’s recommended Flex cleaner, don’t seem to do a good job of dissolving the dried paint.  The only thing I’ve found that work well is the MM Acryl dried paint remover.  Stynylrez is good stuff, but there is definitely a bit of a learning curve.


    Hardware store lacquer thinner cleans it up like a champ

    I'm not aware of any beyond that. As for nose art, the Caracal sheet has several fun ones including Statue of Liberty, shark mouth, white walrus, silly cowboy, Batman on a horse, and a red death's head inside a gear. All the markings are for 2016-2018.

    Bro that’s not Batman on a horse it’s Deadpool. And the silly cowboy is Woody from Toy Story. Cmon man!

    For those who order surface mail to US or Canada, the container arrive in mid June but get inspected by US custom.

     

    it should be released next week and all parcel will reroute to you by USPS or FEDEX 

     

    the next container to US will leave by end of July and arriving late August 

    What about via air?

    what an ugly plane! Almost rivals the E.E.Lightening for ugliness

    glt

    At some level the designers had to be embarrassed that that was the best they could come up with.  They had to know the  fighter mafia would never go for that ugly thing.

    The F-35 developement saga:

    Buyer: We need you to make an advanced fighter that can do X,Y, and Z. Can you do it?

    Lockheed: Yes we can, for this much per unit.

    Buyer: Excellent! Get to it!

     

    Later...

    Buyer: We'd like to know if you can incorporate A.

    Lockheed: We can, but it will cost time and money.

    Buyer: That's okay. Get to it.

     

    Later....

    Buyer: Could you change A to B?

    Lockheed: We've already made the changes for A.

    Buyer: But we really want B. Can you do it?

    Lockheed: It will cost time and money.

    Buyer. That's okay. Get to it.

     

    Later...

    Buyer: What about if we added C?

    Lockheed: That would interfere with B that you wanted. It would require a whole redesign for that system.

    Buyer: I understand that, but can you do it:

    Lockheed: It will cost time and money.

    Buyer: That's okay. Get to it.

     

    Later.....

    Buyer: Hey, wait a minute! Why is this thing so darn expensive? 

    The best part is the Chinese then stole all the design info, got rid of the VTOL capability and got themselves a 5th generation fighter on the cheap.

    Reply to Ben Brown:  I had thought $6.00 would suffice for most individual boxes, but I do see your point.  So I will replace the fixed S&H with "buyer pays shipping". Thank you for the guidance.  Dennis

     

    Reply to Spector 1075:  My PayPal account is "married" to both my credit card and my email. I am just not understanding how it works. If I follow Ben Brown's advice I will not know how much S&H to include in the total price. Not too excited about the 2.9% of the total transaction considering I have already marked all of the models down 40 - 50%, but I guess I will have to bite that bullet because MO's cost the buyer money and they also have to be mailed. I need to go find my "big boy pants". Thank you for your guidance.  Dennis

    Dennis EBay will calculate the shipping for you. When a bidder buys your model you will print a shipping label that is generated by eBay and all you have to do is tape the label to the package and you are good to go.  Ebay will also release the funds from the sale to your PayPal account after a few days. 
     

    it’s very safe and secure for you and saves you from calculating shipping because eBay knows where the buyer is located.

    So that you can ask silly question !  🥵

    Or I can try to understand why manufacturers who put all sorts of care into getting details correct, neglect adding a detail that is present in all cases: a seatbelt?
