i'm planning to buy a back-up since my badger 150 needs an overhaul... i only need a single action... budget concerns prohibit me from buying a double action... i need your feedbacks on the 2 airbrushes... thanks!

kasatka, ok i'll do that. thanks again!!! :lol:

actually i read that some where... but i can't resist chipping it a bit... hmmm... can i get away with re-painting it in red? i think that the hiromarus is being re-painted in the field, is that right?

I have finished (almost, actually) a model of this great looking interceptor. i've always wanted to own this ww2 aircraft! this was strictly 100% OOB. Used Kit decals and tamiya/gunze acrylics. here are the pics. hope to receive comments so that i can further improve on my skills. thanks for browsing!

i can help (but have to wait 'til friday). i'll send you a pix of the instruction when i come home from an overseas business trip. send me an email at erwin_macalalad AT yahoo.com i can send it to you this friday.

Ron,D_IcarUS_, thanks! i hope to finish this when i go back home.

thanks afterburner! really having fun with painting the raiden... i'm trying various things i learned from the forums...

This is my 1st Japanese plane in 1/48. I tried to re-create the weathering based on the actual B&W photos that I downloaded from the web. the photo was taken just after the model has been coated with future. The Model was primed with Gunze Mr Color Super Stainless. This is a very good paint! bought it from Japan. the finish is just like real stainless! i applied preshading on top of the stainless paint and then applied the dark green top side and jn light grey on the bottom side. thinned ligthened base color was applied on center part of the panels and then a very thin base color w

Badger 150 is a good entry level airbrush... actually it can be a good airbrush for any kind of airbrushing needs...

wing ribs: 1. temporarily attach the upper and lower wing together. 2. i used solder wire to get the contour of the wing sections. you should consult your references on the location of the ribs and spars. [or you could buy a contour gauge which is more expensive and use it to get the contour of the ribs] 3. transfer profile of each ribbing to a paper/or directly to a styrene sheet. 4. cut the profiles from the styrene sheet slightly smaller than the actual profile. you need to do this bec you will be attaching this to the lower wing surface. 5. attach the spars. it's better to attac

hello! just want to share to you my current in-progress build... it's nearing it's completion... some of the mods that I did: 1. modified the mounting brakets for the drop tanks, added fuel lines 2. improved the landing gear by opening the molded details and adding brake lines 3. cockpit: OOB except Eduard PE seatbelts 4. showed inside ribbing for wing and tail section 5. Aires gun bay, engine 6. Foil on the fuselage comments are mose welcomed! btw, the intake duct going to the scoop was already corrected. thanks for browsing!

it's very good! recommended! it will be doubly cool if they add the engine braces too....
