Hellcats look good, as do the Catalinas. Is the Catalina scheme incorrect?- 126 replies

That one turned out well, EG. Markings will make it pop.

I'm with Lou here. These kits were developed how many years ago? Ask Denis (Popeye) about the fit of "box scale" kits. The oldies are quite primitive compared to the current goodies. I'm sure some of you remember the Hawk kits with the molded om markings? 🙄 It would be nice if a manufacturer decided on a different model, instead of being the 4th version of USS Arizona or KM Bismarck. Most research of models into the 80s was deciphering markings and paint colors. We live in a Golden Age of scale modeling.

Chris, I'm in too. Using a Shapeways hull will help a ton for the hull shape. Very nice.

Great job on the Spitfire, Chris. And congrats on the number finished. Impressive.
-
It looks good for the wood effect. Good technique.
-
Kevin, I'm in too. Just remember Nihil illigitimus carborundum. Don't let the Bas****ds grind you down. This is another opportunity for excellence.

Aw, shucks, Kevin. Sorry for you. But your Admiral is a gem without flaws. Good luck with this new build.

How many kits do you have on the go at the moment?

BikerMart, nice layout. Looks good. You may want to try operations. Find a club nearby where you can see things live. And participate. We get fellas in our club who say "I'll just watch" (afraid they might break something?) I tell them to get involved. We can pair the newbie with an old head operator. I have fun at the various ops sessions. You need to dirty up your structures and plant weeds and trees. Its very pristine as it stands. -
You can brush it on top of already placed decals. If the decals are still silvery, you can reapply and touch a pin tip into the decal to get the solution under the decal.

It's starts out looking hapzard, but once you've glued and painted the various sections, it looks good. Keep on truckin' 😁

Denis, I saw this this morning in my AF news and immediately thought of your ongoing project with KG200. They made a movie: https://www.military.com/off-duty/movies/2022/01/12/wolf-hound-wwii-movie-inspired-secret-nazi-air-combat-unit.html Could be interesting.

Oy, tough decision. Can you cobble up a fixture to do the vee parts of the boom with the thicker rod, since they look symmetrical. Thicker only because of the strength needed.Then another jig holding the vee sections vertical, so you can attach the top parts. If it was brass rod, I'd go thinner, but my soldering skills are better employed doing electrical work. 😉 In prior endeavors, years back, I attempted a corrugated engine house and a car kit. Kept unsoldering prior work. Thank the stars for CA.😁

very nice work with the painting, decaling and pin striping. Avery makes a lot of office supplies, one line of which is stick-on mailing labels. A reliable product line.
-
Turning out nice. Good fix on the ignition cabling.
-
Very nice work on the sleeping car.
-
Great looking weathering on the truck bed. Looks real. 👍
-
Nicely done, Dan. A significant development in early jets.
-
This build will an epic journey, Kevin. I'll be following along.😃

I'm for the second option. Save wear and tear on your plaque. 😉

OC, I think Gator Grip glue is available, but you need to email Kenny to get it. I'll second Alan's recommendation for using it. I apply the regular (thicker) with a paint brush. I keep a cup of water handy to clean the brush. And I let it tack up for a minute or so. Parts seem to stick well.

I've had similar issues with clicking on the star. Should take me to just after my last entry/view. Sometimes it does (usually), but sometimes it just geets me to the page.
