    LF: Superscale 48-1253 A-6 Intruder sheet

    in Buy and sell - add scale to your title

    Posted · Edited by mynameismatt

    Looking for: Superscale 48-1253
    This morning I had the privilege of having coffee with an A-6 pilot from VA-196 during the early 80s. He did 2 cruises on the coral sea. I'd like to build him a kit, but I need this decal sheet which is an exact match for his time in the navy. He is a fine gentleman, battling Parkinson's disease.
    Let me know if you have a copy, I'd be happy to pay!

    Building a Hornet for a plane captain... Need help!

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted

    I reconnected with an old high school friend who was in the navy from 2006 - 2010. Turns out he was a plane captain in VFA-137. He had his name painted on the jet - very cool! If possible,  I'd like to build a model for him using the 1/48 Revell kit. The problem looks like there are only aftermaket CAG decals available. Did anyone make a low vis sheet?

    thanks for your help!

    Posted · Edited by mynameismatt

    Up until now, if you needed a replacement part from trumpeter you were pretty much up a creek. Think of the many many threads on ARC and other forums of desperate people needing a trumpeter part. Well, trumpeter did something completely unexpected. They are opening up a replacement parts service!

    Full Aribrush Cleaning

    in Tools 'n' Tips

    Posted

    I picked an ultrasonic cleaner up from Harbor Freight last year after being on the fence for quite awhile. It was definitely one of those "Why did I wait so long to get this thing?" moments. It really is awesome. I shoot Enamels and Lacquers only and I don't have any problems removing dried up paint using the cleaner. After all, the machine works based on the ultrasonic movement, not which cleaning solvent you use...

    I use a ratio of 50% water and 50% LA Awesome cleaning solution. Mostly because that's what I have in hand.

    Which size of EZ Line did you use for 1/32 and where did you get it?

    Heard the stuff is amazing.

    I used the thinnest line. I believe it's .003.

    I plucked some off of ebay.

    Great work but a little problem with the position lights: starboard (right) is green and port (left) is red.

    Doh! Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to fix that today.

    Long time lurker - but thought I'd share a build I just completed.

    1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat. It has it's issues - but to me - it still looks like a hellcat wink.png

    - Montex masks & markings

    - Barracuda Wheels

    - Master covered metal gun barrels

    - Airscale instrument dial decals

    - Prop & rear landing gear from Hasegawa Hellcat kit

    -EZ Line antenna wire (amazing stuff!)

    Modelmaster enamel paints. Tried to give it some character with a lighter colored wash (white and yellow mix). Also post shaded some panels & varied the final finish using both a semi gloss clear and flat clear. Not much in form of chipping as I hear the GSB finished were pretty tough. The weathering may be over done to the purist, but I'm overall pleased with it.

    LF: 1/48 B-29 Left Fuselage or entire kit...

    in The Spares Box - add scale to your title

    Posted

    Hey Gang,

    I just picked up a 1/48 monogram B-29 kit off of the boards. Unfortunately the left fuselage is warped very badly and I don't think I'll be able to correct it myself. :(

    So....

    I'm looking for a replacement left fuselage if any of you have one. Junked kit? Painted? I don't care - I can make it work. If all else fails I suppose I'd be willing to buy a whole kit off someone, but I'm hoping I don't have to resort to that!

    you can email me at matthewmwohlford@gmail.com

    Thanks!

    Matt

    Got a junked 1/32 Hellcat? I need your help!

    Ok, strange request - but i'm looking for 2 cowlings off of the 1/32 hasegawa F6F. I picked up two kits for free (thanks johncrow!) but they are both missing the cowling.

    If you have a kit you'll never build, a built one your about to trash, etc. let me know. I don't care if the part is painted, I'll still take it off your hands.

    I'm willing to pay shipping on my end.

    thanks for helping!

    - Squadron Vac canopy set for B-29
