Admins are usually pretty busy on the weekends with the auctions, calms down a bit during the week! Give it a few days.

Scale model graveyard. I gave up eBay years ago when they turned up the screws on sellers. Graveyard is great! I’ve sold tons of stuff there and the admins run a tight ship. You’ll do well with armor there.

Looking for books about Modern US Carriers
Charlie D. replied to Specter1075's topic in General Discussion
Well…not exactly Modern, but I just finished reading Iron Claw by Sherman Baldwin. His experiences as a rookie Prowler Pilot just before and including Desert Storm on the USS Midway. Some good insight into the day to day stuff and flying. I learned quite a bit. You can pick it up used cheap on Amazon. We’ve got a vacation planned to San Diego next year, I’m going to bring it so I can retrace some of the authors steps while touring the Midway. -
The Tamiya rattle can silvers are awesome. Decant or spray right from the can. They dry rock hard and can even be buffed out a little.

Where are you located? I’m seeing $40 Prime for either Tamiya T-bolt. I’ve seen it go lower too, picked up a Razorback a few months ago for $34 Prime.

There’s some minor scale discrepancies between the AMT/Esci kit and the Monogram. The nacelles are bigger and engines bigger and fictional for a 2800. The cockpit area is also a little bigger. I’ve only seen the Resin 2 detail parts in pics, they look nice. I’ve got a set of loon parts for a future build. I’ve seen them on eBay and Kitlinx might carry them. It looks like Loon used the monogram parts as a master, but they’re really nice. wear gloves when using the alcohol, as it’ll dry out your skin, have some ventilation and don’t use near a flame source. It’s basically rub

I use Distilled water! Acryl has a slight hint of ammonia I know some have used windex.

Hey Dave, does eBay still have the Vero program? 10+ years ago I was doing 1/6 and 1/8 resin kits. Couple guys decided to make bootleg copies of them and sell them on eBay at half what I was charging. I had to fill out a stack of paper work but was able to get their listings shut down everytime they’d put one up. That was 10+ years ago though…
