  1. You can add them on to the strains of "Paint it black" by the Rolling Stones.😁 This is coming along nicely. Looks good.
  2. That's a nice hot rod. Fiberglass skin?
  3. Those inside curves look like a real bear to lay your blocks into. You work for P&W?
  4. Get the Gator Grip glue by emailing your request to the address on this website: https://gatorsmodelstudio.com/gators-grip-hobby-glue/ I don't think he sells thru retailers. But I use this, too.
  5. You may also want to look at Canopy Glue for your PE glue. It looks like a thick white glue. Originally for the RC airplane folks to stick their canopies on. I've used it to hold brass and stainless PE to plastic and it holds up if your model moves from warm to cold environments. And it cleans up with water. Should find it in a Hobbytown, since many of them seem to cater to the RC folks..
  6. Mike, very nice dio with the Buffalo. You're working your way up the skill levels with these last few a/c. Like Elmer said, magazine cover quality. 😀👍
  7. Why did they move this in 2 pieces? Was this due to overall weight and pulling capacity of these tow vehicles? Other guns moved as one,unit, didn't they?
  8. Very nice addition to your outdoor kitchen. The wood is beautiful. The Italians call that a pergola. Will nice sitting out under this on a summer night. 👍
  9. Very well done, Gary. I like the tires in this kill. I have several Sylvan fire truck kits and the have rubber tires with plenty of flash to remove. I like the Gallery Glass idea. Have to look them up to enhance my vehicles.
  10. Looking forward to this build. I'm in.
  11. I'm following along, too. Fascinating machine.
  12. Looks like Lord Vader approves this build, too. Another nice job with an exotic craft.
  13. Very nice job on rusting the roof. The saw shed looks great. A mini primer on stages of rust. Your rust pigments are spot on. The lightest is the most "fresh" rust, say bare metal a few days after a rain. The rust darkens over time through the middle shade and old rusty items get the dark reddish shade you used. If you have any railway lines near you, look at the unused and lightly used rail heads for the beginning stages of rust. All the rails are darkly rusted on the web of the rail. That's the part supporting the rail head.
  14. Some fishing line may work. 10 pound test line is small, but I think there are finer line. And they may come in black. Try the fly-fishing products.
  15. Alan, looking good. I think your current primer will be fine. A modicum if cleanup then fire away with the figure painting. 👍
  16. The Bf 110s adopted that tactic, too. Forced the Luftwaffe to tie the 109s as close escorts.
  17. Andy, I'm in. These Airfix 2.0 kits are a quantum leap over the earlier ones. Shipman: Possibly unescorted Stukas. Or early in the Blitz with the night bomber raids. This second item was what they were designed for. They just were inadequate for daytime use.
