Metal barrel, ah! Heat then cold usually breaks down CA on metal. If you want to be safe with the heating, heat water to about 190°-200° F maximum and stick the tip and end in, and swirl it for a count of 10 then ice the join. The hot/cold should break down the CA holding the tip. Boiling...

You can do it Chris.

You have a perfect mask line with the front white stripe. PIck a spot, cut it off, reattach it (correctly) blend it, mask at the stripe and repaint. On my Pak 40 build I attached the muzzle brake to the barrel before putting it in place. OOPS! It wouldn't go through the gun shield. Had to cut...

I do miss watching ChukW's builds. His use of his little cartoonish characters to illustrate the process was always enjoyable. Too bad he moved to the Seattle area and went all angry.

Same for me. They just didn't hit on my radar so didn't ever buy from them.

Here is a suggestion for how to do a counter sink to a set depth. I have little ball cutters of various diameters that have 3/32 dia shafts. These shafts will fit inside of some 1/8 OD tubing just fine. If you choose the tool dia you want you can set the depth you want to have by letting it...

I have found you need to be careful with trusting extrusions to be square. With a number of the things I have made, the 90° angle of the extrusions are usually a bit off. The extrusion that they are using to hold the sandpaper is probably more accurate. It is a good idea, but to actually get it...

To all of you that served, Thanks for your service!

Umm, I will pass. Have better tools. Thanks for posting Saúl.

Wonder if this means they will do the bomber variant with the glass nose eventually.

I have the first Master Box Zombie kit with the gal on the motorcycle. Straight from "Resident Evil III" except for the different motorcycle. With careful paint it will look just like Alice in the movie. Not sure if it is still available.

I have one or two of their Me262 kits. (no have not built them yet) They are supposed to be fairly accurate, so this "should" be a good kit. Their kits have improved in recent years anyway, so should be better than a Trumpeter inaccuracy.

I don't remember what I paid for mine but am sure it wasn't cheap.

I get postings from Kotare all the time. There are a few that I have been interested in and will probably get them from Sprue Bros.
