Interesting! Will have to remember this.

I can honestly say that if you decide to do the Arizona, you will be disappointed if you want an accurate model. The Trumpeter Arizona kit was made to be a floating RC boat and thus there wasn't a lot of worry about accuracy. Their Titanic kit is supposed to be fairly accurate, but I am not at...

I did that years ago on a car model that due to weird problems at the final assembly I didn't finish. The paint is still as glossy as it was originally though the clear coat has yellowed with age and the white detail is now a cream color which looks almost better than the original white.

The screw orientation would only work if there were nuts on the inside so that it could be adjusted. If they were threaded into a hole tapped in a solid part the orientation would be however it ended up when tightened down.

A good smooth flat black then a good clear gloss coat.

The Norton tempts me, but I have a new toy (tool) that I am paying for that is due within a month and then I will be trying to figure out how to get it to do all the repetitive stuff I come up with.

Still, it is looking really good Paddy!

I have been spraying the Vallejo paints but have added a little Vallejo airbrush flow improver to any that I spray. Have not had any issues. Since I am currently working on German armor I bought a couple of bottles of the Vallejo Surface Primer 73.605 German Rotbraun RAL8012 The newest Vallejo...

Those magnetos turned out really nice Paddy!

Must have been BIG shells. Can't imagine .50 Cal or 20mm shells in 1/350.

I have no "War Dept" thus it is up to me, myself, and I. :bigrin:

I should get it in January. Have most of the accessories with it as well. "Should" do about anything I can foresee doing at least hobby wise. Might even be able to make small parts like the distributor I just did for the 251. At this point I don't really have any photos to post, but all of...

That is one REALLY NICE tool Paddy! They have some small precision vices that I will probably jump on next year. As a watchmaker, I have looked at the drill press and this micrometer unit myself. These are very finely make pieces and to be honest if I were going to be doing watch repair for...
