Wow that is flaw less carbine I wish I could paint that good. Ecxellent photos too :D Whats the yellow stripe on the gear doors? Ellis (Needng a P-51B on my shelf)

Now thats what Im talking about Aweesome build I wish I could get my mottleing to look as nice. Ellis

That is ecxellent Jared great attention to detail on the missiles and panle high lights. The one colour grey scheme looks smart. Ellis (WW2 prop fan but recognizes a nice jet when I see one)

That is some awesome air brushing camoflage on a 1/72 model Eddie what kind of air brush do you use. Your skyhawk looks great. Ellis

Thank you for the suggestoin Bill Ill try that. Ellis

Hey those are some NICE models Rob. Ive never heard of a Blackburn Rock it sure is ugly ;) all though you have built a great model of it. Is the fulmar the old frog kit in a SMER box? Ellis (Old enough to rember buying frog kits)

Ive had a Airfix 1/24 stuka on my shelf for all most 20 years Ive never built it because the decals are dryed up and useless. I suppose I could paint the crosses but not codes and badges same with there 1/24 Bf109 which I also have. Ellis Big airfix fan

Wow that is absolutly superb Bill and so are the photos. I have a freind who used the WEM paints and he had problmes with them did you have any? Anyway your 108 looks awesome especialy the cockpit

Hi all Im building a 1/48 B29 but Im too chicken to do a NMF finish Can anyone reccomend good on line or book/magzines that show OD/NG finished B29s? Thanks Ellis (stocking up on OD paint)

Wow Nathan you do good work much better than mine at 19 in fact better than mine noow I like the hellcat what do the red cross markings indicate? Ellis

What MickeyFickey said. Those spocked wheels are amazing. Ellis

Looks real nice Touvdal! Is it resin kit? The camerflage looks ecxellent Ellis

You mean hear? That looks awesome john but your jennys rigging need to be tighter. Just joking Its easy U just have to copy and past the pages URL Ellis

A fiend of mine was having trouble getting a lid of his paint bottle so he trapped the lid in betwen a door and the frame and turned the bottle. Unfortuneately he closed the door to tight and the lid and bottle-neck crushed spilling the paint. ;) Ok, it was'nt really a fiend of mine. It was me. Ellis

It might be qiucker to link direcly to the thread: scratch Building forum Will you be posting any pics John? Ellis always wanted to do an diorama, bt never got a round to it

How much work would it be to back date the hughs 500 to a Nam OH-6? That would be cool in 1/20 sacle! Ellis

Thats georgeous Mike! Wow! I cant beleive how well those nose checkers fit. Ellis

That looks geat stewart it must be HUGE! I saw a 1/72 U2 built up recentley and even that was huge. Does that tail art come in the kits decals? Ellis

Thats very clever using the jApanese roundles and the german crosses. I'd never have thought of that :lol: How are you going to make the serials? I'm hopping that Trumpeter release a new tool 109E its my favorite 109 type. Ellis

If you use Xtracolors you do'nt need to future the paint before decaling, its all ready glossy. And now they make Xtracyrlics too if you prefer acyrlics. Ive not been able to find Xtracolors and Xtracyrlics in canada though you have to order them from Hannants in the UK but there ecxellent paints. Ellis

Do'nt worry Terry there are lots of great modellers who use an Aztek and acheive fantastic results and all though urlooney is quick to critisize Azteks one of my freinds uses an Aztek and his models are award winners. (I do'nt know what airbrush urlooney uses nor have I ever seen any of his models on this forum but I'd like too know what he uses and if hes ever tried an Aztek) Binks-Wren I've never heard of that one :unsure: Ellis Defender of the under-dog

Hi N405GJ I made the same switch and was worried like you about getting a descent finish with acyrlics but I can tell you now I would'nt go back to enamels Why? Because acyrlics dry so much qucker no more waiting over night for first coat to dry. One tip I got from ARC is to mix a bit of future in with the acyrlic paint to make it flow better and dry harder. I found I had to thin my acyrlic paints more than I did with enamels nut once you get used to it you will be fine. My favorite acyrlic paints are Tamya and polly scale and gunze if you can find them. At the end of a spraying section I spra
