Be careful on the 1/200 scale stuff. Some of it like the Arizona were made to be models to be motorized and run RC. As such the Arizona (being a Trumpeter kit is "HORRIBLY" incorrect. I do like the larger scale though and it gives an easier ability to super detail it. But MAN is it repetitious.

It is this kit and it is already back out of stock. There is a slightly cheaper one and it is out of stock already as well. https://squadron.com/cy103pro/?utm_source=instocknotify&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=instocknotify

Unfortunately, working with PE requires a lot of study on the instructions. I end up taking a pencil and doing a lot of marking on them with large amounts of PE.

LOL! I have this thing about trophies, I don't like them as they collect dust and take up space. WALL PLAQUES are my thing any more. Very small trophy stuff is ok, but that is about all. Turns out there is a contest at Murfreesboro, TN (just a bit south of Nashville) on November 14th that I...

The thing that got me was that they ran the other power plants around it for quite a number of years. They have the new cover over it now and they are having all kinds of other issues. It seems that the Elephant foot and other heavy radio active meltdown parts are turning to powder, flaking...

Still it is becoming a neat looking build Tim! There is a new 1/350 kit of the Pennsylvania that really looks nice, but the PRICE! I am just going to skip it.

Yeah there is the new F4B that is now on the market, but it is almost as expensive as the Ferdinand I just got. So no F4's for me. If someone came out with a F-101 Voodoo in 1/32 I might be a taker for that, but need to step back from new kits again. :bash:

Well, I quit drinking the Arizona southern style sweet tea in cans and my back has quit bothering me. Instead of waking up and it aching, I wake up and "might" feel a slight hint, just enough to say "Am I feeling something there?". Meh. Yeah, feeling better, good thing! Also went to Pure Talk...

I have a number of new acquisitions that have piled up over the last 2 or 3 weeks, so here we go. As most of you know I use a jewelers saw for a lot of my cutting. I was finally down to my last 6/0 blade (.010 wide) and it was time for some more. This time I also bought a bunch of 8/0 blades...

At this point I am planning on Chattanooga in April and Huntsville in July. What will I take? Probably my big 1/16th scale stuff if I can manage to finish any of it.

If you have a steady enough hand you can use a hot needle to start a hole, then drill it out to size. Note, I said "start" because if you insert it too deep it does other things around the edge of the hole you won't want. Oh and now Yahoo mail search is broken with their new update. About par...

It's got shiny wires there Bob!

@Sharkmouth Saúl I have this kit, and as I know noth-ing about this aircraft what items would you suggest I obtain to flush it out. As I said, So I would appreciate your suggestions.

Sorry we are hijacking your thread Paddy. Yes that could work well Greg. I have the Paasche hoses with the water traps built in about 18 inches down from the airbrush. Been running them for years after I had one bad instance where water blew out while I was painting. It wasn't much, but...

As to my H&S brushes, I have Iwata Mac valves on them for air control which with the quick connect on the end gives them a long handle. I guess I also hold them a bit further back and let the back part rest against my hand so that my fore finger is mostly straight. Never really thought about...
