Found this Chris thought you might like it.

Yeah AM (aftermareket) stuff is always something that can cause you to go all AMS. I have had the 1/32 Revell He111 P1 in my stash for years, and apparently Revell is re-releasing it as Sprue Brothers here in the US just got a load of new AM for it. As I didn't have any AM for it, (I checked...

So far so good Paddy! I got set on the H&S airbrushes by some of the high end figure modelers that frequent Wonderfest. Ever since the first one I bought I have not regretted getting them.

AMS Once you see it, you can't "unsee" it. It was just way too thick and as I got into that crank unit there were just a bunch of other little things. Now I have to make some measurements, drill some micro holes for alignment, and then add some little standoffs, nuts, the back plate, a new...

OK, I just keep finding things to fiddle with, so here is another update. I will let the pictures do the talking this time. Cliffhanger! This is where I am right now. The part thinned out just right, but it needs a few bolt heads added and I just decided to go all the way...

Looking good Bob!

Every build is a learning experience. Turns out I am "still" modding my sFH18 Howitzer even though I said that was done a week or so ago. I am enjoying the modding and building on it though and every little bit just seems to add to the appearance. It lost the "kit" look a while back and it is...

It's practice for down the road. :good:

That guys is definitely a craftsman with the tools. Do you think he has a big enough soldering iron?

That is looking really good! Not used to seeing a Connie in anything other than natural metal.

Hope you don't mind the critiques, it is how this group works. We try to help and guide each other to better builds and better skills. Sometimes we are our own worst critics on our own builds. Attaboys for good work and constructive critiques when we see something wonky. After all the devil...

Looking really good Steve!

I would suggest popping them loose then make some plastic plugs to put in the holes. Make a starter divot for the new hole and then drill the 45° angle. If you just bend them there will be a curve at the base instead of the clean angle in. The trick is to have the shallow divot hole for a...

Oh my this is coming together quickly! Umm, you might check step #253 again. The box in the upper left shows the ariels in the center of the wing angling to the back at 45° angles instead of standing straight up. The ones at the tips are straight up, and I don't think there are any angled...

@paddy Here are a couple of items you might look out for. I have found them quite handy for all kinds of things, but especially for working with odd PE parts. Also to keep from launching small parts, check out my thread on reworking and cleaning up your tweezers. To keep from launching...
