The laminate propeller issue is something I have pondered for a bit. The pre-done props look very nice, but the price is "out there" to the extent that I doubt I would want to pay it. They did have some wire wheels that looked quite nice. The RB Productions masking kit was something I also...

I thought about it, but the issues I have had this summer, plus with the load at work, I just decided to pass. Jef V mentioned something about Huntsville next year. If it is in Alabama, I will definitely plan on it.

Working with any sheet metal can be a challenge. Designed and built prototype sheet metal for an electronics company in the 90's. Before that I took aeronautical technology courses in college in the 70's and part of that was a course on doing aircraft sheet metal repair and riveting. All that...

Glad you got it figured out mate! Sad about the idiots that want to run things and probably couldn't run a water cooler if it had free water. We have them here too. Wanting to give everything away, when it isn't really theirs to give away. Hmm it was in the 80's here today, so I came home...

The paint work is looking really good Bob!

How big is the actual size of the model part Saúl?

Keep going Paddy! I always enjoy watching you do your magic on a stubborn subject. That is why I am still working on my sFH18 project. Halfway through I was looking at the items on it that were just way wrong and talking to myself about "does it really matter?". Eventually my answer was "To...

From all the build stories I have read on WNW kits, they are super detailed, and nicely made. BUT You better test fit, test fit, and test fit again, as they have very minimal tolerances on the parts. I also clean off my paints where glue joints are located. Learned that as a young pup, and have...

Depending on how it's setting, you wouldn't see much inside of it.

Coming along quite well Bob!

Looking good Tim! I like the weathering so far.

As Mike (Jeeves) said, Ugh! Anyone remember the Hawk plated aircraft models for natural metal finishes. They sucked so bad.

The little vice with the stand is what it is. It looks to be made well. The fractal vice looks identical to what I just got with the exception of the name screened on the side. Just look around for what you would like. Like I posted, my fractal vice needed the screws tightened up and then I...

Oh, are you wondering why the red brown primer is all wiped off and such? I was doing so much removing and gluing of new stuff, especially all the extra rivets, that it was easier to just clean off the primer in order to glue the parts. It also allows everyone to see the new stuff for the most...

That is where reference photos come so much in handy. That is also why my sFH 18 has taken such a detour, but I am on the home stretch now on it.
