Cool Spit, it looks real well done. I'm currently making Tamiya's Trop. version of the Mk.5b; I'm airbrushing!

I agree, WOW!!!

That looks really cool. I like the weathering! What scale is it?

Hey Tiger. The first time I used a wash to 'highlight' panel lines, I used a chalk-pastel wash, which I learned from ARC's "Tools N' Tips" section. It's not too difficult a technique, and it looks really good as a finished article. HTH & Happy Modeling!

One of those Pin Vice things; great for those small holes, and are easier to use than tiny drill bits. Happy Modeling.

That's one great Spit. I'm making a Tamiya Mk.Vb at the moment, and one thing I will say is that the canopy is remarkable. I'm just hoping there won't be a problem with the decals :lol: !

If I remember right, the "Tools N' Tips" section of ARC has one or two sections on fixing canopies.

I'm really only a beginner to the whole pastel chalk thing, but along with a stiff brush, I also use cotton swabs, with just a little chalk. Tadhg

Hey all! I've just cleaned the sprue of my Tamiya Spit, but I'm wondering if I am not thorough. All I do is fill a basin with warm water and a pinch of washing-up liquid, and give the sprue a 'wipe' with my hands while in the water. Then I let it dry in the hot-press over-night. I've read about people leaving the sprue in water for 24-48 hrs., and then giving a scrub with a toothbrush. Is what I do enough, or should I do more? Thanks for any help! :P Tadhg

Hello all! I'm just curious as to what you guys (and gals), use for antenna cables. I was thinking of black sewing thread, but thought it might be a bit thick for 1/72 scale planes. :D Thanks all! Tadhg.

Amazing! Well done!

Real Nice. First in twenty years (I'm not even that old ), looks like you have still got your skills.

Nice one guy's. :wacko: I'll take it for a test drive today... :lol:

I have just recieved a new airbrush for Christmas, with which I have no experience. Due to lack of free time (exams etc.), I haven't even used it. Has anyone got any tips for me??? Another thing I was thinking about: "How do you the paint from those small Humbrol tins into the Airbrush jar?" I've heard about pants made for pouring into the jars, but I have none in my collection, and I haven't seen any in my local hobby shop. Thanks all Tadhg.
