This is simply amazing, you really did an amazing job with the weathering and airbrushing. A real show stopper. Thanks for the WIP. I've got one of these in my "docket" and this really provides some nice inspiration. Best A-10 I've ever seen.

Italeri 1/48 SR-71A Blackbird - renovation project
dsahling replied to BastianD's topic in In-Progress Pics
Use "Great Planes CA Glue Debonder" put a little on a q-tip and you may have to rub/roll it over the CA glue for a while but it will remove the CA glue and won't damage the plastic. Just make sure you don't apply it over paint cause it will remove that too, but it's easy enough to just remark, prime, paint, etc. stuff works like a charm and really comes in handy.- 118 replies

While I've personally never really gotten into 1/72 scale I do say though the mark of a really skilled modeler is to take a 1/72 and make it look like its 1/32 scale. Really, really nice job on that F-14. Nice airbrushing.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a 1/32 F-14D project and I'm going to try to do a diorama of the last carrier launch and want to depict it with the left spoilers up [pilot cycling the controls to check free and correct] I have the Danny Coreman book that helps and has some good photos but I've only been able to find a small number of reference photos online and the squadron signal book unfortunately doesn't have photos of these areas. So I was wondering if anyone had some good photos of the areas with the spoiler actuator mechanism/mechanical parts they would be willing to kindly share here?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there are any substances/supplies, etc that help oil paints dry faster? I’m almost done with my Tamiya 1/48 A-1J Skyraider and I used oil paints for the cool looking oil streaks on the sides and bottom and I’m anxious to get started on my Tamiya 1/32 F-14D conversion so I was curious if there is anything to help speed up the process? thanks Dan

So I was wondering does the F-4E Phantom II 'Chico the Gunfighter' have the early or late model centerline drop tank? From the reference photos I have its hard to tell, I know the plane was used at the end of the Vietnam War but when it comes to ordnance and equipment it wouldn't be surprising if its the early war version. My OCD/AMS was hoping someone may have the answer or some info to cure this terrible affliction 🙂 Thanks Dan

So I'm hoping to do a Tamiya 1/32 F-14D Tomcat conversion of the last F-14D Tomcat catapult shot BuNo 164341. I have been able to find some photos of it so far via google and such but was wondering if anyone has any or knows where to find some that depict some of the upper surface of the fuselage for weathering and such. I found one photo like this but its mostly in shadow/dark lighting and would love to do the last F-14D flown at sea (and I do love USN weathering....) Any help is appreciated. Dan
