  1. I've heard that priming (and subsequent polishing) greatly improves the durability and results using MM Metalizers [and before anyone goes on the "use Alclad!" kick, they are a bit of a pain to use in limited work spaces] but I'm hearing two different lines of thought: -Gloss Black MM enamel, or -a laquer based primer, such as by Duplicolor. Any thoughts, tips, or general help?
  2. Just picked up the True Details P-51D/K cockpit set from my local for the incredibly cheap price of $Free.99 (thnx Carl!), only to realize upon closer inspection that the package had an oops from the factory floor: two right-side consoles instead of a left and a right. Squadron cannot help on exchanging the parts as I "did not purchase it from Squadron" (which makes no sense, as all vendors have to get them from....Squadron). Is there anyone out there who can help me out with a left-side console for the '51? Thanks, eriK
  3. Just picked up the Tamiya Do 335A-12 for a steal off the 'used' shelves at my local. Wonderful looking kit straight from the box! I intend to build it that way too, with the exception of a few things: moved control surfaces (with corresponding move of stick and pedals) for more "life", and I want to drop the flaps and build the crew-access ladder. Does anyone have any good pics or drawerings of the landing flaps and ladder system (too include, and most importantly, the area the ladder goes into within the wing)??? Thanks all. <<<<OOPS! Sorry for the double-post....laggy pc, grrrr.
  4. I'm a complete noob when it comes to using oils for washes, can someone explain their use to me? I've tried using Testors enamels for washes over a coat of Future, but never been entirely satisfied with the result; the work I've seen with oils looks much smoother.
  5. Does anyone know if the Aires Wildcat wingfold will work decently on the new Hobby Boss FM-1? Anyone tried it?
  6. As stated, I'm looking for some good cockpit photos, both driver and radar-wizzo from the Tigercat. The intarwebz seems to be sorely lacking any good walkarounds which include them, which is surprising given that the plane is still readily available to photo in both museums and on the airshow circuit.....
  7. Anyone have any decent 1/48 examples of the following available: R-60MK (AA-8 Aphid) missles, UB-16 or UB-32 57mm rocket pods, FAB-500 or FAB-750 bombs? The R-60's are needed for my Airfix BAe Hawk T.1, which is being done as the Finnish Mk.51 version, which sometimes carred the Aphid in lieu of the Sidewinder. The other mud-mover crackers are to flesh out my old original OEZ boxing of the Su-7BKL. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
  8. Well fark....It appears I've been foiled by someone unable to read the packaging on their own product for sale..The Heller Vautour is 1/100 and not 1/72; therefore I won't be getting it. And can't for the life of me find one by anyone in 72. Darn.
  9. Will soon be aquiring one (or more) of the old Heller S-O Vautour II kits, and I'm having a devil of a time finding any good information on the type, such as detail pics or drawings. Anyone have any? And yes I've scoured the internet via Google already <_< +eriK+
