Overall, it looks really good! I know you are disappointed due to the decals. I get that, and that is where I will stall out on builds, because I have seen (and had) decal issues. Something I will have to get over if I ever want to build most of the kits I have.

Glad you had a good time Chris! Sounds like it was a really good time had by all.

Paddy, I have mostly built aircraft over the years. Armor was a little bit here and there. The big scale stuff that Tim and I are building now is all new. Some of it is quite reasonably priced for what it is. Recently I pondered on Trumpeter's Tiger II for quite a while then finally hunted...

If you want it, I have a perfect subject build that is started (and shelved) that would work well.

The main issue I always had with my Badger airbrushes was the micro tiny odd shaped tip. They were always hard to disassemble to clean and the cups on them were all poorly finished out. (except for the Sotar 20/20 Slim) They were always a pain to clean, and while I learned how to take them...

Sorry to see that you have been having so many issues with this build Paddy. I will take your issues to heart when I get around to my builds.

It's all in the details. Looking good Ian!

Looks really good Hubert!

I have a scary sharp ancient Xacto chisel blade that I use a lot. It peels the little rivets off like butter. I have to work a bit to shave the larger ones off my molded piece, but it works better than anything else I could even think to use. I have to be "REALLY" careful with using it as it...

What glue were you using?

Speaking of flying aircraft, this is happening this week. For grins and giggles I looked up the prices for flights in FIFI (B-29) and the B-25. FIFI is the $1500 to $2k amounts while the B-25 is $400-$500. I could swing the B-25, and would completely enjoy it I know. It's just that right now...

Yeah, working with photo etch can be tricky. Some is pretty straight forward, just bend it or glue it together or glue it on. Kits like this Batman, and other Metal earth items either need an excellent grasp of the processes, or a lot of slow work through it and think about the next steps...

My H&S airbrushes all came with quick disconnect fittings. I decided to use the IWATA MAC valves on them as they simply fit between the airbrush and the quick disconnect fitting. As for air lines I use the Paasche air lines that have the built in moisture traps at about 18 inches from the...

Looking really good Tim!

That is something I would like to attend if I was up there reasonably close. We are having something going on the latter part of this week in Millington which is a suburb/ military base just north/ NE of Memphis. Supposed to have the B-29, and a B-25 there with rides available. FIFI rides...
