Me too with the exception of Gunze, with Gunze I use 99% percent isopropyl. Rocky

Here is my mess! And a place for the rest of my paint! Yes, there is a F-4E on one bench!

All that is left is the Trumpy 1/24 109.

Thanks Andreas! Hopefully some progress pics tomorrow including the knives. Rocky

He-162 off the list.

Scroll down and check the RAF Xtracrylics sky. These are really hard to beat. Rocky

The 1/24 Airfix Mossie and I am stunned. Aside from being huge, the detail level far surpassed my expectations. Rocky

Outstanding job and your painting is excellent! Rocky

The liquid masks work great for small areas, such as landing lights. I only build in 1/24 or1/32 so I only use them for small areas.

Eric, This is the best Spit I have seen! Brilliant job. Please share your painting techniques. Rocky

Wunderbar as usual Chuk! Rocky

Shaun, Brilliant work! Rocky

Thanks for the tips! Rocky

Those engines look nice and so does the plumbing! Rocky

I will be doing the FB in either No 487 or 143 Sqn markings.

OK, the Tamiya Spit is here (2) and the Mossie is on the way. I am planning on Tamiya XF-81, 82 & 83 for the Spit exterior. I need to decide upon the correct colors for the Mossie's exterior and both for the interior colors. I am assuming the Brit's did similar to what we did, ala use the same colors inside and out? I have every reference book for US & Luftwaffe AC, but I am left handed when it comes to the UK AC. BTW, I have ordered the VM decals, GF gear and everything else I could find for the Spit! I will, however, be painting the roundels! I found some painting masks that I did n

Tamiya decals always seem to dissapoint. Very nice build. Rocky

Many thanks Gregg! I spent a great deal of time on the pit and the seats. I learned a lot too. Rocky

Mike, I don't know how how I missed this thread? Stunning and fascinating! This is a work of art! Rocky

I was really looking forward to this kit but you have pointed out a few short comings.

Marcel, Many thanks! I believe that I can paint, but it is important to have a nice canvas first. The cockpit is beyond words and this kit craves it. Tamiya's fit and finish is perfect, but the AM resin available puts this kit at the forefront. Maybe thats why I have two more on the shelf! Rocky

I have been watching closely and I am curious to know what you "owners think." Is it a buy now or wait for AM gear to appear? TIA Rocky
