Habu2 Still have the complete set with smoked black cover, but the later D4 fluid. Even have a large bottle of D4 fluid. I have to laugh at 2nd hand records selling for $20. I thought they were expensive at $5.00 new. Still have over 300 LPs too.😂😂😂 John

If you can find one cheap, get it. They work well, especially on clear parts before a Future dip. John

If you lived in the 70’s or 80’s you know what this is. It works as good today as it did 40 years ago. Still have all pieces and all still work!😄

I posted pics of this build on the ARC FB Group, these pics are a little larger (hopefully better) 1/48 Dragon Ju 188E, Verlinden Compass/gun Alignment Platform with accessories, Monogram Bomb loader & fuel cart, Eduard Brassin SC 500 Kg bombs, Still have a couple CMK figures to paint & add, John

I have some 36170, poly, & thinner I want to try. Aren’t you supposed to mix up only what you want to use & not contaminate the source? My bottles are stored at room temp. John

Don’t know if these have been posted, but watched them last night. P-47 ops during the final days in th ETO, in color being readied and in action. The strafing in video 2 looks computer enhanced & colorized, nevertheless looks pretty cool.  John https://youtu.be/BGbJ-85F1MQ  https://youtu.be/AylvQVit9So

The Hobbycraft T-33 has the 2 gun nose, should be able to find one cheap enough and graft the nose on if you choose to go that route. Just a thought. John

I see another TFAT CBT coming, more Green Dot training and the damned email lectures! 🤣🤣🤣 John

I’m surprised someone isn’t triggered by the name Blue Angels.🤣 Sooner or later offense will be taken by some gender challenged member. Flying was probably more fun in the cockpit with a joystick!🤣🤣🤣 John

Endorsed by a General Officer, relieved by a Colonel after 2 weeks after a “loss of confidence to lead” pretty ballsy on the O-6’s part. Remember what Hack said in Hazardous Duty about the Perfumed Princes in the Pentagon. John

I will wait to hear the official reason, but willing to bet it will be the typical obfuscated USAF explanation. Anyone affiliated with the USAF knows what a Green Dot infraction is and it is a one strike air force, even if you foul it off. It is not a good thing what has happened to the US Military during the last 20 years, especially during the last administration. FWIW John

State tax has commith to Sprue Brothers, now added at checkout. John

1/48 Me 109G 16, Fw 190F 15, Spitfire 54, P-51D 45, MiG-21 2019 🤣 John

Saw this today and thought, 2019 release and WTF, this box art does nothing to peak my interest. Is it landing with a gear problem or is the pilot bringing up the gear too soon? Oh Well!!!! John

I like what Airfix is doing, I have been collecting a lot of the new releases. I hope they do a new Buccaneer in 1/48 too. Nothing against 1/72, I am getting a little older and eyesight is fading! 🤣 John

Granby Sea Witch Debbie, another unbuildable older 1/48 Airfix kit! John

I have attained that 3rd stage of Santa many years ago in my household!🤣🤣 John

When you become Santa Claus, there is no excuse for not getting what you want for Christmas! New tools for the New Year! Harder & Steenbeck Chameleon, GSI Creos PS-770, & Meng Sprue nipper. John

https://spraygunner.com/airbrush/gsi-creos-mr-airbrush/custom-0-18mm-airbrush.html If you want Iwata Custom Micron CM-C+ performance for 1/3 the price check out this deal. Got mine yesterday 2 Day Priority Shipped Free. SprayGunner is for real! Checkout the Mr. Color Paints for $3.00/Bottle. I am envisioning Wellenmuster Camo in my next build. John

It is in the stash, from what I read, it goes together very well, the moldings are really nice. If they do the G series Dragon kits will be 2nd best. John

Just a FYI, I bought the day fighter a while ago and was looking at The Modeling News preview of the soon to be released Ju 88 C-6b night fighter and noticed all the night fighter spurs are in the day fighter boxing. Only differences is in the decals, if you want a night fighter from the earlier boxing you will need night fighter decals and maybe the instruction drawings. Nice kits coming from ICM. JOhn

Something to keep your interest on the goal! John

1/48 REV/MON kit with Quickboost ACES II seat, Master GAU-8 gun tip, Xtradecal X48-006, scratched engine duct correction & twin AIM-9M launcher. John

There was a photo of a US F-35B on the elevator of the British Carrier Queen Elizabeth yesterday on Cybermodeler. The coating looks heavily weathered for a jet that probably has not spent much time at sea, if any. How well are these special Radar signature reducing coatings going to be with the amount of touch ups needed during a long cruise? Increase the ops tempo, war time, how effective will stealth remain? Nice modeling canvas for future F-35B & C models.🤣 John
