  1. Hi guys: Great tips, thank you all very much. I'll find what I'm looking for with these options. Happy Building, Barry
  2. Hi Folks: Need advice...I live in a condo and need an airbrush compressor that is quiet. It needs to be portable, have an air storage tank and easily adjustable pressure gauge. Price below $400.00. Please provide suggestions. Thanks, Barry
  3. Hi guys, I know this is a long shot but does anyone have a canopy for a 1/72nd scale A-7? Kit is Fujimi but I'll adjust if any other brand is available. If so, name your price and shipping. Much appreciated! Thanks, Barry
  4. Thanks guys for the tips. I was wondering if there was a need to worry. I may try the wire idea just in case. I would love to use the metal gear, but it would require me to tear open the fuselage..which I am not of fan of. Metal gear WILL be used on all B-25's going forward (have a few in the stash). Barry
  5. Hey Guys: I am building my first 1/48 Monogram B-25, and man is it tail-heavy! I used so much nose weight (don't think it's too much) that I am concerned the front landing gear may bend or warp over time. The plane is nearly ready for paint so there is no going back and replacing the gear with white metal without tearing the kit apart. I really want the plane to stand on it's own gear without propping it up on anything. Does anyone have a suggestion for making the front gear stronger? Epoxy, wire, anything. Or, am I concerned for nothing? Thanks, Barry
  6. Hi Everyone: I am in need of a 1/48 scale canopy for the Monogram Pro Modeler kit. I'll be happy to compensate you for it and postage. Otherwise, any suggestions on a good replacement? Thanks, Barry
  7. Thanks for all the feedback. So, a bit thinner paint and lower pressure. I'll try it. As for the paint, I was using both Tamiya and Model Master acrylics. The tip/needle combo is the one that came with the AB. Guessing patience and more practice could solve most of the issues LOL.
  8. I just purchased a new airbrush (Iwata Eclipse HP-CS). I have been practicing but am unable to get a "clean" freehand paint line. I always get little bits of over spray. I have adjusted the paint, the air pressure from my compressor, the angle of painting but noting seems to get a clean line. I was getting a fairly good line from my old Passche and expected better results from my new Iwata. I figure it must be something I am doing wrong. Please HELP!!! Thanks, Barry
  9. Hello everyone: I want to purchase a Harder & Steenbeck airbrush and am wondering if the standard hose connection that I use for my Paasche brush to connect to the air compressor will work with the H&S brush? Or do I need to purchase a specific hose? Thanks, Barry
  10. Hi guys: I am in need of 1/48 scale Hinomaru markings for a Zero. One ARC'er graciously provided several sheets but they were the dark red ones and I need the bright red ones. Honestly, I only need six of the larger ones WITHOUT the white outline. So even if you have a used sheet with these left, I'd be interested. Any help is greatly appreciated. Of course, I am willing to pay for them and postage. Thanks, Barry
  11. Hey SN: Yea, I did consider painting them on, which I did with the tail stripe. Could not figure out the best way to mask them so I went with the decal idea. What have you found that works best for masking....keeping in mind I already have the base IJN Grey applied?
  12. Hi Everyone: I am in need of 1/48 scale Hinomaru decals, the larger ones WITHOUT the white border, that were used on WW II Japanese aircraft. I only need six (to complete one aircraft). Will be happy to pay for them and for postage. If you can help, let me know. Thanks and happy modeling!! Barry
  13. Hi Ray: Thanks tons!! I sent you an email but let me know if you don't it (the written email you sent looked a little odd so I sent it to the address that seemed correct). Will look forward to it. Barry
  14. Hi guys: I know the odds of this are probably slim, but I am in need of rotor blades for a 1/48 scale Academy Blackhawk (Pave Have kit). If anyone has spares (but why would you LOL), I'll be happy to pay a reasonable price and shipping. Thanks, Barry
  15. Hello all: Odd need perhaps but was wondering if any of you might happen to have a complete set of landing gear for a 1/48 scale F-4U-1 Corsair?? I built the kit years ago with the gear up but have no idea where the gear is now and want to display it on the ground. Not even sure what brand it is but I can probably make something fit. Any give-aways or cheap gear is appreciated and will gladly pay postage. Thanks, Barry
  16. Bob: THANKS for the decals!!! I got them a couple of days ago and am working on the A-7 now. They were just what the doctor ordered. As for any other decals, no such luck yet, but thanks for asking. Take care and happy building, Barry
  17. Jason: Did you find anything useful at the shop? Barry
  18. Funds on their way to you; should be there any day. Thanks, Barry
  19. Jason, please see what you can find. I have more than one kit that I could use them for. Thanks, Barry
  20. Sounds good. Please send me your name, address and the postage amount I will send you the money ASAP. I wasn't implying that you were trying to make money on them, just being polite...would be rude (IMO) not to ask that. I like to help out fellow modelers too. Barry
  21. Great! How much? Barry
  22. Awesome, Jason! Just let me know what you find. Thanks, Barry
  23. I had been working with sheet 72-82 from Micro Scale, but any would do at this point. Do you have any? Barry
  24. Was hoping for VA-147 which comes on sheet 72-82 from Micro Scale, but any 1/72 A-7A will do at this point. Do you have any?
