13218 1/35 ONTOS
That's the only one on the proposed list that caught my eye...and that'll get my money if its released.

@shark64: no text? ;)
Anyway - there was quite a challenge in this build because for the first time I had to work on a canopy. The wipers had to go (because it will get pe-ones) and the bar in the middle is way to broadly in my opinion (comparison picture). Damn I had doubts if this will turn out good because it´s the "face" of the model.
So I took the modified toothbrush and started sanding till all unwanted structures were gone.
Then I used a file for nail-polishing and polished it.
A bath in the german version of future (it´s called Erdal Glänzer) was made for the finish. It´s my first ever revised transparent part and I´m quite pleased with the result. Now I wonder how to do the new, narrowly center-bar.
Looking like a great start. What scale is this kit?
-
No rotary-wing, but I did get the Hobbyboss LAV-150 with the 90mm cannon and the Trumpeter VRC-105 Centauro as gifts, and with the cash received, I've ordered the AFV Club M1128 Stryker MGS and the Dragon M3 75mm Gun Motor Carriage.
Now, if someone had a UH-1Y and AH-1Z in either 1/35 or 1/48 scale, that's where my money would have gone...maybe next year.
-
With two more kits in the stash, I definitely need to get this sheet.
-
Definitely good news to hear/read that you're getting better and feel well enough to put up with our demands for your fine products. Hmmm, my re-enlistment bonus should be hitting the bank account soon, I may have to put an order together for some stuff....
-
Now, just make all the corrections/updates mentioned, then scale it down to 1/48!
-
Flame Wars!!!!!!!!
F the V-22
Now it's a V-22 thread.
3...2...1...aaaaaannnnnnddddd FIGHT'S ON!
Would love to see some update/accurizing AM sets for this kit, as I have plans to build many, many versions.
-
I'm holding out hope that eventually we'll get a production version of the -1Z in injection plastic (1/48 and 1/35 is fine with me).
-
Gorgeous snakes. How long did it take him to complete the whole line-up?

If the teflon seals go bad in the Badger airbrushes you will get blow back into the cup or jar. The worst culprit is the head washer. After awhile the teflon head washer will get compressed and no longer keep air from leaking in the head, when that happens you will get blow back. Blow back can happen when the teflon needle bearing gets worn out. I always keep a few of the teflon seals on hand just for that reason.
You can also send the airbrush back to Badger for repair. From what I understand the service is great.
I may have to look into that, then. It just seems very hit or miss on when it'll work or won't...it just about became a ballistic object out into the yard after last night, but I managed to restrain myself. It was a close call, though.
-
Same boat here. I shot some MM Acryl the other day no prob, nice smooth coat to my CH-46. Yesterday and today with Pollyscale acrylics, no dice. I get airflow through the nozzle, but nothing but bubbles in my paint cup or siphon jar. I'm already plannig to get an Iwata, but in the meantime I'd like to get this Badger 200 working so I can finish up a couple projects without fear.
I've broken it down and cleaned it several times. Is it the O rings?
-
Now THAT is a handy little tidbit to know. I'm going to try it on my next modern jet.
Got to be a SNCO that came up with something like that...
-
I've got all the others, why not one more? And if they're modern/current weapons, all the better...
-
I dunno, but I wouldn't even consider them. They're not exactly subtle and c'mon, would you rather drink bourbon through a rubber tube or out of a metal flask?
Good point. Game, set and match, sir.
-
Two words: Cargo. Pants.
**Nods approvingly**
So, Camelbaks aren't allowed?
-
Not caught with my flask.
Well, you can't have it on a lanyard around your neck then, can you? That's what pockets are for.

The conversation at Fortress LemonJello went something like this:
I'm all set, the bags are packed, the car is ready and...what? What's that? I'm NOT going to Nats this year? WHY!?!? Oh, I couldn't take leave and we have to drive to Illinois over Labor Day for a family reunion? REALLY?!?! Can't we tell them I'm deployed and won't make it? Oh, we told them we'd be there AND we're looking forward to it. Who would do something like that? Oh, I did? Really? Was I drunk at the time? No? Well...darn.
Well, I can always hope for next year, I suppose.

I liked entry #5 of those shown on that page, seemed like a lot of them seemed to be variations of a base design. We're multiple entries by one person allowed in the contest?
I like your design, Brent, clean and simple. Hey, as long as you like it, who really cares about other opinions?
-
*Sigh* Maybe next year...Have to take the family back to Illinois later this month, so there goes the travel budget for the month. Hoist a beer for me, fellas!
And take some photos to share with those less fortunate!
-
The -1W and the UH-1N in 1/48 are both on my watch list whenever I go out, but no joy so far. I'm also waiting for the production versions of the -1Z and -1Y to hit the shelves someday...
-
If you still need one, I'm pretty sure I still have both from my Set B, with no plans to use them. PM if you need them.
-
I'll have to give that degreaser a try; I attempted to do the salt method for chipped paint, and it didn't work, so I want to strip my kit down to the bare plastic and start over.
-
Agreed, good stuff! Oh, why isn't there a decent HH-3E kit in 1/72nd1/48th...
Cheers,
Andre
Fixed that for you, and I agree, the H-3 has been ignored for too long in any scale...
-
Pea shooter?
Harsh language?
I wonder what constitutes accuracy issues in the context of the 30mm.

I need the 1/35 Ontos! Any ideas on an ETA if/when it gets produced?
