I was digging through some big boxes and ran across the old 1/32 Revell Bf110 Night Fighter with the nose antennas. (all there, unbuilt, no original box) I had forgotten I had it even. I also have the Dragon 1/32 Bf 110 night fighter kit as well.

Welcome back Joe! So you have made some progress on this. Looking good so far!

I am curious about the zimmerit tools. They look to be really nicely made, but with the wheels, how do they work? You are going to have to give us a show and tell on them.

John might be right there with lighter. All day sun near the equator (N Africa) would tend to bleach all the coloring out, even the green line work.

Yeah too many of the pre done paint racks take up too much desk space and don't hold enough paint. That is why I built my own and they have a 5 -6 inch deep base and are 24+ wide and quite tall.

I know, was just giving some insight and things to think about as I have built 3 paint racks.

Looking good Tim! I had one of those "run all the time" compressors years ago. It always ran hot and finally threw the rod for the piston and became junk. Went through several more variations and finally just bit the bullet and did a search for a small quiet tank airbrush compressor. Found a...

Hey Bob, I built mine out of acrylic that I bought at the hardware box store. The best one I did was for the Vallejo paints, and it gets used a LOT. Things to consider: Being able to see/ read the color of and/or on the bottles Basic strength. A lot of bottles on it will make it heavy. My...
