  1. 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
  2. Hide invisible. Put the words into another context then reread it.
  3. You 2 for 2 so far. I mean ANG units never make interesting subjects for the casual builder.
  4. So what is this https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hasegawa-07211-f-4c-d-phantom-ii-egypt-i--114090
  5. So its actual name is Egypt I but people call it Hill because it was applied there? ]
  6. Why do people call it Hill grey camouflage and not Egypt I?
  7. The markings also changed from a V to a V in a square. So it changed to a different command.
  8. Such an amazing looking helicopter. You did it justice too. Looks great with the Rook in Ukrainians digital camo
  9. 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
  10. Copyright owner wanted to make to much money out of it. Tried to get something for nothing. Ended up with nothing.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Is it 2 clicks to delete all the spam now or has it gone up to 3?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Well if the Sea Flanker is anything to go by this will put Tamiya into the second best kit place.
  17. Start? I wouldnt say it was the start at all, its been running for quite some time now. We are certainly at a point where it has never been quite this good in terms of models available, tools to do it with, information to build them etc. But it has been so for quite some time now... Several years infact.
  18. I dont suppose we will ever know the specifics of it all. Based on the details we do have could you recommend a kit to start with and the decals that are a close match?
  19. Scotchbrite and IPA. I guess I should elaborate on that. It sounds like you are suffering from what is called Amine blush. You need to remove the hydrocarbons from the surface, especially if you have any open or flat surfaces where the lack of adhesion will be even worse. So you need to remove it... Its possible to use just water and some scotchbrite but I much prefer IPA on scale models because the areas that you cant get to with the scotchbrite will still need to be cleaned off and the IPA should do that just by contacting it. Water not being equal all around the
  20. Interesting... Interesting too that it was a Reaper not a GlobalHawk. Anyway, any info on the Su-27 used would be nice, it would be kinda cool to make a model of it.
