I've been collecting some 1/72 Hasegawa F-16 kits for a little bit now that as time and money have permitted I have bought a matching Eduard detail set for. These are the pre-painted sets that look great to me!! Well anyway, I just got around to starting one of the kits when I discovered the nasty little bit of plastic surgery that has to happen in order to fit the main insturment pannel!!

I have used a number of different glues for attaching PE to plastic but something I have always had troube with is useing any cyno on a cockpit sidewall. It seems that even when I get the dry fit perfect there always seems to be glue that gets out when doing this attachment. So, I use white glue or hypo glue. I have even used transfer tape ( works well in some cases) Does anybody else have any other ways I might try. ?? Thanks

I'm trying my first Alclad(sp?) finish. So , I'm hopeing to practice on a model I started . Here's how far I've gotten. I have alread sprayed Model Master NON buffing alum on this model... My understanding is........... that it would be ok to spray the Alclad Clear Base over this. ???? I want to do this because to me, the Model Master finish is to grainey . I then have planned to spray with Alclad " Aircraft Alum " to get that smoother/ shiney finish.. Some of the panels on the model HAD already been left a chrom green color.. ( the clear will go over that too.) So, I'm expecting contra

Could someone please tell me what Model Master enamel paints are the best match for RLM02 and RLM66? Thank You!!

Thanks Guys!! Peter! Your G4M2 looks great! Maybe, a little silver powder rubbed into the bottom would give that look? Nothing like natural dust to give that even tone to a paint job! LOL <_<

I'm a little confused today....Can anybody please tell me if this is an old kit or a new release? Squadron's decription makes me think it is a old kit but I've been thinking it was one of their new 1/72 twin engin wonders like the B-25 or B-26 kit...??????????

Hey Guys, The Hasegawa 1/72 P-38 kit is already ripe for the process..... They give you the parts you need. You just have to endure the fit up! You might even be able to use these parts with the Academy kit?
-
Maybe some of you know about these kits? I've never seen one ( 1/72 scale) and would like to know how they compair in detail with other manufactures? If the fuse is one piece, then how are the cockpits done? Thanks, Henry

2 different 1/72 Hasegawa new tool F-14B kits. HE09687...$ 60.26 each HE00814....$37.76 each Why such a big dif in price? I can't believe decals would make the disparity.

Thanks Guys! I only want one of these and Hasegawa sounds like the way to go.
