  1. I’m trying to get Mr. Masking Sol sent to me as I work over seas, the forwarding company from the US won’t ship it until I get the Safety Data Sheet for the item. I’ve contacted Gunze and no response after a month. I’m wondering if anyone can send me a pic of the back label (hi def) for translation. Or an SDS for it, Or does anyone know what is the composition is? The non-ammonia version of Masking Sol also
  2. That would make sense, as it was over 24-48 hours but not much more. It was only select areas that were affected, and all pieces were prepped the same way. I’ll give them a week to dry and see if that helps. Thanks!
  3. I was using Aqueous for this one
  4. The top coat was from the can, and no visible difference when it was sprayed. Probably too “hot” for the underlying paint. My problem is I can’t predict what will be affected.
  5. The funny thing is the majority of the pieces that were top coated didn’t have any issues, just select pieces. I can’t find a pattern
  6. So I used Mr. Hobby - Mr. Super Clear over Gunze colours for a Macross model and this happens: https://ibb.co/hxUYs7 https://ibb.co/j0BeX7 Any Idea?
  7. Hey all, kinda in a predicament, opened up my 1/32 F-16I Sufa, and sometime somewhere it must have gotten some heat on it. The fuselage sprue (still in the sealed bag) has warped the lower fuselage piece probably beyond being usable. Couldn't find any parts online. Does anyone have a fuselage lower half available, will pay! Mark
  8. I'm with you on that, SCI-FI has many levels of realistic depending on the show or movie series. If you want more "realistic" watch Star Trek and Geordie Laforge may teach you some points on warp field theory. Star Wars is a bit on the other side as in more unrealistic. It's kinda known before you watch the movies, from giant battle stations to giant star destroyers with our present day scientific understanding it won't happen, the point isn't for it to be realistic it is for the story as set in the environment. The Force Awakens as advertised is for the new generation, they produced for n
  9. Good find! And people always say they don't want music added to the footage, and now you know why people add music. Vacuum screach the entire time, not cool. cheers
  10. I know this is the Mustang thread but here is the Camaro Z-28, 505 HP non-supercharged, with larger diffuser, brakes and multimatic suspension, they will sell between 2000 to 3000 this year: Compared to Camaro ZL-1 Supercharged 580 hp, magnetride suspension, they'll sell about 3 - 5000 this year. Both cars are essentially track ready (incorporating non-fade Brembo brakes, all the oil coolers, etc), hopefully with this generation of Mustang Ford can compete!
  11. I guess you haven't been keeping up on developments lately, one of the Trio takes track performance pretty seriously. Lighter is better, up until a point, because a car still has to have 4 tires and engine, depending on 2 seat or 4 seats the car will be of certain dimensions. There is a reason most great performing 2 seaters (sports car, not super cars) are about the same weight. Same goes for 4 seaters. One of the most used ways to gauge a car's performance is to take a spin on the Nurburgring track. This is because the track which is 20 miles in length has all types of corners, elevati
  12. Here is Elon Musk, talking about the Tesla fires: Essentially he is saying gasoline cars have a fire every 1300 cars. The S which has sold 25,000 has had 3 fires, so 1 in 8000, so four times safer than a regular car. Tesla S fires explained On the topic of fires and gas powered car I can't believe no one posted about the recent one which claimed a certain furious movie star. Porsche GT I think it was......2 dead in that crash and fire, how many in the Tesla fires? .........0 cheers
  13. I think you want to say US manufacturers incorporate styling cues to showcase a car's heritage. It's also called good business, as American muscle cars, have that option of appealing to the older crowd as well as the newer generation as evidenced by the numerous posted items in this thread. I like the one about the US teens liking the Mustang as their #1 car. Didn't see FRS on that list. Again heritage, a thing US car manufacturers can use as they have interesting cars, - who the F* would want to buy a Corolla with heritage styling. Can you say appliance-on-wheels appeal??? New and
  14. Maybe the rear sloping roof line but thats it imho, more like a slight evolution of the existing model: another of the newer Mustang
  15. Really, it reminds of a 2013 Mustang - again not much of a change, kinda disappointed. 2015 Mustang video
  16. That is the question, it should they are finally adding a IRS, no more live axle. Nice video to showing a new Camaro Z/28 compared to Ford's best track car Z/28 vs ??? If those spy shots are accurate then Ford is being very conservative, because they could have had something much more aggressive:
  17. The Snap feature is more than just watching TV, you can run any app on the side. You can check achievements, check your friends online to coordinate a game, use the music player, use youtube, etc. I have actually used it quite a lot. Speaking of Youtube, the Xbox One pairs your smart phone to make it another controller. So while you play the game, you can have youtube snapped on the side being controlled with your smartphone. I was playing Battlefield 4, while I youtube some Fighter Fling videos (I'm building 2 1/48 Tomcats). I've also brought up machinima app to look at the a walkthroug
  18. That is interesting to see how much heat goes out the back of the consoles and how hot they get. The big circular heat source on the xbox is a big fan, according to some websites that have taken them apart. I also noticed the PS4 pouring out a good 20 degrees more at peak usage, I hope they don't run into heating problems down the road. cheers!
  19. You don't need the Kinect, and supposedly it stays in standby mode until it senses motion in the room. Haha I have tried to turn the console on by yelling around a corner to no avail. As for the voice command stuff, its pretty good once you know the commands. One of the coolest features is the Snap option, which is the ability to stay on the screen you are on (say playing a game) and you want to see or run an APP, you say Snap TV, or Snap Music. Then a 1/4 of your right screen shifts to that app. So you can play music, watch TV, or whatever while you play. Again pretty neat, they spent
  20. So I picked up the system at the midnight launch, and since I don't live in a big city I only had to wait till 2 AM to actually get it haha. Before I start, some background, in the previous generation I had the PS3 and Xbox 360 which I got on launch days for each respectively. Before those I've had everything from a commodore 64 (brothers) to a Nintendo, N64, PS, PS2 etc. - Unwrapping the console I noticed it only had one HDMI cable in slot, I would have liked to have 2 or 3 slots to control all my other devices. So the satelite is going through the Xbox One, as the console allows you t
  21. The thing that most people don't see is the big picture, that being these jets will have to last 40 years, if you buy an already dated aircraft the RCAF will be out of the fighter business in 20 years. The Air Force wants the big step-up in capability, the newest airframe, if not then they resign the fighter fleet to obsolescence in a short time. Buying Super Hornets would be like buying updated Voodoos instead of CF-18s in the early 1980s, who is flying Voodoos today? As Neu mentioned the F-35 package has all the extras included in the airframe already to preserve the Low-observabili
  22. In the opinion of most of the fighter guys, at Cold Lake at least, the Super Hornet is the last jet that we should get. If not the F-35 most would say a F-15 Silent Eagle (if it gets made), or Typhoon, but not the Super Slow Hornet. In the words of one of our fighter pilot exchange pilots after flying the Super Hornet for the first time down at Lemoore, "It's a pig". Most would rather have new build legacy Hornets that the Super's, but that is just their opinion. cheers
  23. Great job JPL, that was a very interesting 7 minutes! cheers Mark
  24. Holy! That is a lot of F-35Bs, I am going to have to pick up a couple of these! Looks Good! cheers
  25. Les, there are two 8x10 inch Multi-Function-Displays with independent processors. If you screen fails that information is automatically transfered and mixed with the other MFD's info. There is also the standby instruments screen below the 2 main screens, showing attitude airspeed etc. There is also the helmet which is another independant system for navigation. The touch screens are used at mostly in non-heat of combat situations, the HOTAS of the F-35 with it's more numerous buttons and switches than the F-16 or F-22 makes sure that in the heat of battle you never have to take your han
