Great work- cheers!

Every day. I'm trying to build my way out of modeler's block with a 1/48 Wingsy Ki-45 Sonia. A rambunctious 6Mo Bulldog puppy doesn't help much, but we love her. The Mohawk is on the shelf of doom for a bit- here's a pic or two.

Make it from 4 pieces- the long top, and the smaller lower sections. Cemnt the two outer sections flush with the edges of the long part, and center the middle part carefully between them.

I've always used regular white glue thinned with water, painted on the base with an old, wide brush.

Brilliant!

I have the 1/48 kit and it is superb! I am tempted to color mid-blue with Fantastic Four emblems. 😉

That looks fantastic, Gabor- cheers!

Great post, Gabor- many thanks!

There is a pull ring in my Silentair Frankenstein-custom from Coast Airbrush. Sometimes the machine locks up and I pull (hard!) to release it and it vents pressure. After cooling it starts back up.

You can sand artists' pastel sticks of any color to make a great panel wash with water and a bit of soap. Apply to a gloss or satin finish, let dry and wipe away the excess- no fuss! Use the straight dry pigment over a matte finish to apply streaks, etc.

Use a sprue cutter to nip away at the attachment points, then tidy up with sanding sticks and scriber.

Nice job- looks great. 😎

Directly from Eduard. Got the extra decals for pre-ordering, plus a Secret Bonus. I'll never tell! 😄

My pre-order kit came yesterday.
