Something I have used for quite a while is to use my CA pallet (sapphire crystal block) and dip my applicator with the chisel end on it into the drop of CA. Then transfer it to the seam I am filling. This only works on seams that are fairly thin and line up. I fill them and spread the CA...

I get it Saúl. I have the 1/35th scale Mil24 Hind and want to do this Hungarian bird, but not sure I can pull it off. Recently I got a bunch of ResKit parts and now have the heat hiders for the engines as well as other goodies to detail it up.

I have a small tube full of brass tubing that I have had and accumulated over many years. The diameters are from 3/16th inch up to 5/8th. I use them as forms or reference only. Yeah bending a curve on PE requires annealing. Years ago I was trying to bend a curve in some PE with holes. It...

Don't knock your talents Tim. We all have skills that we share here and yours are right up there with the rest of us.

Something to think about Bob is that your don't have to use round tubing. You can put a small wire inside that is thicker than what you are putting inside and squeeze it down into an oval which should work well for the flat flying wires.

Glad you are enjoying the build Paddy. That is after all the whole point of building something.

Squadron sent an email today that they have more of the Dali Pennsylvania kits on order but they will be after the first of the year.

You have it quite correct in that all paints and colors during WWII (on both sides) will vary from paint batch to batch as well as how it was applied, and how much weathering it has received. Even color photos can't be counted on as 100% since film can vary. I personally see variances from...

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:
