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 and trucks in the last couple of years but when I do its always 24th scale.
Im rather looking forward to getting some aircraft in 35th scale to build up some dios that can use some 35th scale vehicles.

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 when Im not working with them directly I do indirectly as somebody else is and in that case even though Im not directly involved in their use then there is a chance I could come into contact with them and over the years Ive learnt that nobody cares if you come into contact with them.
So I go out of my way to wear the PPE provided even when I shouldnt need it because Im not invloved in the wet process.
As I work as a process trainer I have seen that most of the skin contaminations are by new starters. And those that arent are contaminations because somebody didnt do their job properly in cleaning up after themselves.
Always assume you will get hurt in some way by touching something and protect yourself.

I thought Kinetic abandoned that kit project years go.
It was resurected.

Hide invisible.
Put the words into another context then reread it.

A kit from the early 1980s with really bad decals.
You 2 for 2 so far.
I mean ANG units never make interesting subjects for the casual builder. -

As written in the Scalemates page, this depends on which marking option you refer to. Some of the color schemes are ADC gray FS16473, the last scheme is Euro 1 scheme.
Read the instructions.

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?

#Karma lost its big mouth, all slogans were painted over too and now it has rudder from camouflage Ka-52s one, and BTW - yes, this helicopter were on wideo of flight Ka-52s wothout rudder.
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

Special schemes can and have been initiated by civilians and military personnel alike. If the artist patents the scheme, he/she will have the copyright to it and thus "own" it. This is quite normal when it comes to artists in general.
That is a dumb statement. It is only right that the artist retains the copyright to his/her work. Why should someone else capitalize on your work for free? I for sure would want to be compensated. And since hardly anyone has details on the negotiations, we should leave these speculations in the drawer.
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.

But if military personnel do it on military time, shouldn’t it belong to the military? Just like when I spent 29 years working for the state. It was clearly stated that if I designed a widget to make my work easier on company time, it belonged to the University I worked for, not me. Hell, I designed all kinds of TV and camera mounting systems, but they belong to the university, not me.
So does the military get to hold a copyright on aircraft artwork?Depends on the contract between the parties involved.
Many people have the idea that if they make something while at work it belongs to them when in doesnt.
In this case it isnt about who owns the original work, its simply about how much money should be paid to reproduce it.

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

Looks like I'll have to set a timer for 1 Aug, so I can get a Pavelow set on order.
Thanks for the all the info.
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. -
It works well with either.
-
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.

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. -
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.
Best 1/48 Harrier Kit?

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.
