  1. The guage attaches to the grill hose then to tank, mine shows green, yellow, red with a needle that moves. I keep two 20 gal tanks, one in grill, other full one in shed. Easy to swap that way. When you detach the tank the guage stays with grill hose.
  2. Yea, the took this sub forum off the recent updates as Ken said. Just go to the top of the log and click the follow button, set up notifications as you wish. I just click the "unread content I follow" button when I log in, takes right to all the updates here. BTW Great job on the painting.
  3. You can buy a guage for those that tell you how much gas you have. I have one on my grill. It attaches to grill hose then to tank. Sounds like Murphy paid you a vist, Denis.
  4. Denis, bet the drain tube for the deicer/defroster was plugged up. Happened to me. Causes everything to freeze and ice up. Probably household dust or lint. It drains to a small evaporator tray under the unit.
  5. Welcome from another Upstate NYer ! Just down the road from you in Catskills area. Been to Kinderhook and Pittstown a number of times.
  6. I've use it along with Vallejo, LifeColor, Tamiya paints on wood and plastic with no problems.
  7. I'm here too, Michael. Snuck in the side door.
  8. From Wikipedia "In a 1979 videotaped news interview, Jack Northrop broke his long silence and said publicly that all Flying Wing contracts had been canceled because Northrop Aircraft Corporation refused to merge with competitor Convair at Air Force Secretary Stuart Symington's strong suggestion, because, according to Jack Northrop, Convair's merger demands were "grossly unfair to Northrop." Shortly thereafter, Symington became president of Convair upon leaving his post as Secretary of the Air Force. Allegations of political influences in the cancellation of the Flying Wing were investigated by the House Armed Services Committee, where Symington publicly denied exerting pressure on Northrop to merge." .............. "in April 1980, Jack Northrop, then quite elderly and using a wheelchair, was taken back to the company he founded. There, he was ushered into a classified area and shown a scale model of the Air Force's forthcoming, but still highly classified Advanced Technology Bomber, which would eventually become known as the B-2; it was a sleek, all-wing design. Looking over its familiar lines, Northrop, unable to speak due to various illnesses, was reported to have written on a pad: "I know why God has kept me alive for the past 25 years." Jack Northrop died ten months later, in February 1981, eight years before the first B-2 entered Air Force service."
  9. Nice start to the diorama, OC, the jeep and trailer came out "smashing" ! 😉😉
  10. You mean you weren't ! 😁😁😁😁 I have one of those 3M brand N95 painters mask, I sound like Lord Vadar when I talk ....
  11. Actually a Scot Air Pack might be safer ! 😉
  12. Growing up in the 50s we had a neighbor across the street who had flown with the La Fayette Escadrile in WW1 France. We asked him how they learned to fly back then. He said after hours of classroom instruction on flying techniques they put you in a single seat biplane and had you take off solo and fly around. If you landed without crashing, they gave you your pilot's wings. At the time we knew him he was a pilot for one of the major airlines and his son commanded the USAF Thunderbirds flying team.
  13. Actually, I think it translates to "Remember Me ?" as a sarcastic question
  14. Did that a decade ago with a Tamiya Bradley IFV, kit came with a fully detailed interior. Tricked it all out, painted it, even left the rear ramp in the down position. Can't see any of the detail now unless you shine a flashlight into the interior and even then it is barely visible. Came to conclusion it wasn't worth the effort.
  15. I saw it advertised on Scale Hobbyist website as backordered. Presumably they can still get it. I have it on a watchlist.
  16. Is this Tamiya kit the same plane ? Looks like decals may be included
  17. But Andy, first they had to fell the tree, carve out the dugout canoe, season it, then paddle down the Great Lakes to you. And you know how treacherous those Lakes can get ! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
  18. Yes, that's why I replaced all of Model Shipways kit rope with Artesania Latina rope at first until I discovered your rope. Now I replace everybody's kit rope with Syren rope. Good stuff, Chuck. Forgot to mention, same applies to kit supplied blocks, they get replaced with Syren blocks also,
