I know this is an old thread, but I think it’s Squadron that announced a leveling thinner they are now stocking with their brand name on it. Works with anything Mr. Color Leveling Thinner works with.

I’ve sprayed decals with straight Mr. Color Leveling Thinner to melt them into the surface and do away with any silvering first, and then clear coat. But thicker decals, you’ll still see an edge.

I wouldn’t take a chance. Probably might work? But how much are you saving in the long run?

I’ve used Mod podge on one I built. White glue would have been fine.

The Hobby Town was originally in NE Columbia less than 2 miles from my house. Yea, it was dangerous. Hated to see them move, but high rent and too many smash and grab break ins in the middle of the night took their toll on them I guess. I won 1st and 3rd place in a model contest there. One of the judges called me aside and said they wanted to give me 1st and 2nd, but they didn’t want to discourage others from competing in the future. I get it. I was surprised at winning anything.

Too late by now, but New Brookland Railroad has a model selection. On State Street.

Good to hear he came through!

Here you go…. https://www.wconline.com/infographics/history-of-adhesive#:~:text=The formula now of Elmer's,have the environment friendly nature. Looks like it’s been an ever changing formula. No more animal byproducts and now using nanotechnology. Sometimes these changes are made for a world wide market too.

It actually started right after the Christmas rush. Several weeks before the new administration. It was like when everyone came back to work on Jan 2, everything must be delivered 2-7 days late. I noticed it immediately. About the only thing on time is Amazon deliveries. Contract specifies Amazon shipments get loaded first, anything else is space available. (Postal employee posted this on another forum I’m on) That’s why I always try to ship things in used Amazon boxes.

Oh, well that changes some things. It’s between a 1/32 Revell F-4E and a Trumpeter A-10. I think one kit that was hanging around the longest was the old Hasegawa F-16A first production aircraft. But I finally built it last year.

My oldest two I can think of is my Aurora C-141 from 1969 and the Otaki C-5A from 1971.

Speaking of brownish…. When I started spraying this one with MRP Have Glass paint set, it literally looked brown until I built up enough coats and it dried. Reminded me of some home latex paints my wife painted the house with. Came out of the van and on the wall the wrong color, but dried the right color.

I bought a 1/32 F-16D from a seller in China 5 or 6 years ago. It got delayed a real long time after the seller said it would be there. I requested a refund and got it. It arrived the next day. 😐 Sent the seller another message telling him to PayPal invoice me again since it arrived. He was ecstatic at my honesty. Right now I’m waiting on a package from Super Hobby in Poland. It disappeared somewhere between the USPS or Customs on Feb 13th. I sent them one email over a month ago asking if they could assist some how. Nothing they could do. I’m giving it another week then

My go-to is actually RC 56 or Evergreen Canopy glue. It’s mostly for the RC airplane hobby, but works great for our applications as well. Evergreen is stocked at Hobby Lobby.

I just ordered an RC airplane engine from Australia. No sales tax was added.
