I seem to remember the Monogram kit is the only one with an accurate wing but over all the Hasegawa kit takes the win because while the monogram kit is accurate overall its isnt that great.

I started building 72nd scale because thats pretty much all there was back then. Over the years there were more 48th scale options to build so I built them but still built 72nd scale too, then 48th scale seemed to become as popular as 72nd scale at least for the more popular aircraft and now 32nd scale is where 48th scale was in the early to mid 90s. Armour I build mostly 35th because all the other things I have are 35 and its a nice size of model. Except I bought a Russian missile launcher that was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. I dont often build cars

Worth waiting for however long it takes.

Why did the pilot eject?

Yeah you handle these situations by not putting yourself into them. I assume that during your induction to the company you were given a talk about the hazards of the chemicals you will be working with. I would suggest you take those warnings as all substances you touch will be harmful to you in some way. Never touch anything without your gloves on. If they dont provide you with work gloves (which they are legally obliged to do) then get some yourself, because you will regret it if you dont. I work with chemicals ever single day at work, and even on days wh

It was resurected.

You 2 for 2 so far. I mean ANG units never make interesting subjects for the casual builder.

Read the instructions.

So what is this https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-07211-f-4c-d-phantom-ii-egypt-i--114090

So its actual name is Egypt I but people call it Hill because it was applied there? ]

Why do people call it Hill grey camouflage and not Egypt I?

The markings also changed from a V to a V in a square. So it changed to a different command.

Is it still for sale?

Such an amazing looking helicopter. You did it justice too. Looks great with the Rook in Ukrainians digital camo

Why would they have to give up ownership of their work? You would have to be a complete and utter idiot to think a company making decals of your work is giving up ownership of the original artwork. There was no suggestion that they should be able to make the decals without reward to the copyright owner either. Being as it is in the public domain I can talk about it as much as I like without fear. Kinetic put out a statement about it, to me it was clearly a case of them not wanting to pay as much as the artist wanted to reproduce the art. Depends on the contract between the

Copyright owner wanted to make to much money out of it. Tried to get something for nothing. Ended up with nothing.

Lone Star Models: Anyone Know the Guy?
ElectroSoldier replied to Specter1075's topic in General Discussion
Yeah I would if youre interested. It took some convincing to get him to do a production run, it would be nice to see them sell out. -
Tamiya Laquer Paint and Mr. Leveling Thinner

It works well with either. -
Lone Star Models: Anyone Know the Guy?
ElectroSoldier replied to Specter1075's topic in General Discussion
He takes it down to stop people ordering while he makes and ships the orders he does have. Its a better system than to take on to many orders, get lost in it all and risk unhappy customers who think he is trying to rip them off. I ordered a couple of the 1:48 Pave Low III conversion sets from him, they turned up in the UK after a week. -
Stupid spammers. I need more moderators
ElectroSoldier replied to phantom's topic in General Discussion
Is it 2 clicks to delete all the spam now or has it gone up to 3? -
VF-84 or VF-111?
-
They started to appear a couple of months ago. I didnt bother buying any as it would be a What-if build which isnt really my thing. I did pick up some parts for an A-7 and A-6 and they look quite nice. If I was of a mind to build an F-111B then I wouldnt hesitate in buying.

What to use to clean airbrush after AK Real Color paint?
ElectroSoldier replied to Curt B's topic in Tools 'n' Tips
I like them too, I keep going back to Tamiya/Gunze but Ive recently been trying out the AK line and theyre quite nice, and the colours are pretty nice too. I just use cellulose thinners to clean up, pull the needle through a rag soaked in it and it never sticks, and Ive never found a paint that survives it. Lacquer thinners would work too, they can be every bit as aggressive, so I wouldnt disagree with anybody who suggests those too. -
Well if the Sea Flanker is anything to go by this will put Tamiya into the second best kit place.
