  1. We called it nastinox for a reason... I think you'll find most materials associated with aviation maintenance tend to be pretty nasty in their own way. As has been mentioned, the MSDS will tell you exactly what you're in for. Which is why early on, I resorted to using barrier cream religiously and always had disposable gloves stashed anywhere I could fit them on my person or belongings. This is what I did as good practice as I found that any exposure to hyd fluid, fuel, primers/paints, oils, lubricants, sealants, dust from composites/metal (the list goes on) wouldn't be an ide
  2. Slight thread highjack, what are the odds of seeing an A/B NAWDC boxing you reckon? I think that'd be quite a delicious offering of the new tool A, given we've seen quite a few Cs of late...
  3. I got the same responses to some LF items, which seemed a bit odd that someone had some rare and oop items suddenly available... schmuck.
  4. Windex is the way to go, I find isopropyl fogs the clear parts for some reason.
  5. G'day all, As per title, just looking for the oop Wolfpack 1/144 folded wing set foe the E-2 for an upcoming C-2 project. Any help or advice for this is greatly appreciated. Many thanks and happy building! Keroburner
  6. Heya folks - I'm on the prowl for decals for a low-vis or a mid-80s mid-vis F-14 I'm looking for either the low vis portion of the MYK sheet with VF-1 or VF-24, or any other suitable mid 80s scheme F-14, offerings out there in the www include FCM VF-33, VF-114, the list goes on... Thanks for stopping by and happy building!

  8. That's a fantastic weathering job. Which resin exhausts did you use, I've been struggling to find good looking opened late exhausts; these look great!
  9. I hear your pain vis a vis this kit, but persist. It'll be so worth it in the end, I've built 4 (for reasons I don't know; no seriously they've always been a pain in spots but rewarding to finish). And yes, the Tamiya kit will build in 1/3 the time, but you can do that another time. You've come so far and it's so awesome to see a scheme that's very rarely, if ever built... I'm looking forward to it. Cheers
  10. Does anyone have any gouge on the decals for the Viper? Here's hoping for some Aggressor love!
  11. Oh that's a shame re: covid/postage, can understand it's a big outlay having sheets printed. Fingers crossed that changes soon. Cheers 👍
  12. Not going to lie, perfect time for these to come out... While the retirement of the Hornet is weighing heavy in our hearts, I think many are pushing RAAF Hornets to the top of the build pile, but with very limited to no decal options available. I think you'll find these will sell out pretty quick, I surely will be buying more than one!
  13. https://www.amazon.com.au/Tamiya-Paints-Polycarbonate-Iridescent-Purple/dp/B0792RZGCR I wonder if anyone been brave enough to give this a try. Decanted into an airbrush and thinned maybe? It's designed for polycarbonate so not too sure on how that compares to canopy plastic.
  14. Oooooo that's a nice clean build- I like it! Is this the new Academy F-14?
  15. For what it's worth, i happened to be testing out some paint when you posted this last night on a spare tail. Its AK interactives range of MiG-29 greys which to me, look spot on based on the reference images I've seen for some really early 9.12s The lighter grey is almost 36375, but perhaps a bit more purplish. The grey green looks spot on to me. This aircraft for reference. If i wanted to be super critical, maybe the paint is a bit darker, but i put that down to the black basing i did as an undercoat + the inside lighting on the shot I took
