Nice job ! :thumbsup :thumbsup

When Tenax7 became unobtainium I tried Tamiya thin but it never seemed to provide as strong of a bond as Tenax I tried several others but ended up going with MEK. To me it seems to work as well as Tenax and the gallon can I got at the big box store will likely last me the rest of my life...

I recently was sorting through a small parts cabinet that I used mostly for items relating to my days in HO model trains and ran across the following... I haven't used any tube glues since the early 70's. The Revell Cement is still sealed and the contents is still pliable, the Ambroid I never...

Haven't seen him in a while, the kit is in stock at Sprue Bros. for $118, supposedly $22 off the MSRP of $140. Not all that out of bounds for new mold kits of that size today but more than I want to spend.

I find it amazing how far they ship some produce, I like Fugi apples and when they are out of season here they get them from as far away as New Zealand. How they can ship them that far and still sell them for the same price as ones grown in country is beyond me !

That looks great :thumbsup :thumbsup nice job !

Very nice and great finish as well :thumbsup

Nice work everyone :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Germany's fetish for dive bombing actually has its roots in the US Navy, I don't recall all the names involved but I believe Ernst Udet was one of them who was impressed by the Navy's success in dive bombing and convinced others to get on board back in the earliest days of the Luftwaffe. Not...

OK, let's get the preliminaries out of the way so I can being whittling on this big turkey. Yes, this is the Luftwaffe's big loser, I have a couple of books on this bird and the tale is a sad one of political incompetence, design vacillation, and just plain poor decisions made by persons...

Hi John, it's a Fujima kit, there are a couple different boxings but I think only the decals and box art are different, my review is here inbox review and more competed photos here finish photos

Very nice ! :thumbsup :thumbsup

Well, the year ain't over yet (13 days to go) and I have four kits in the paint stage so anything is possible but I'm not holding my breath. My one and only completion thus far is the Nakajima G10N Most of my focus this year has been on my dark side hobby (trains) at the expense of getting...

CATERPILLAR D7 Love the details, especially the rusty can on the exhaust ! :thumbsup

Interesting, they don't don't look anything like what machinists call broaches but both remove material so I guess the term is OK.

CATERPILLAR D7 Wowsers ! that looks great ! :thumbsup :notworthy:

Nice fix on the main gear, I had already installed the gear well so my options were limited.

CATERPILLAR D7 Getting better all the time ! :thumbsup :thumbsup Looks like the real deal would have required an operator with three hands

I ran into most of the same problems as you did plus some more. I replaced the two struts from the nose wheel to the rear bulkhead with wire as it looked like too much trouble to make them round. I ended up breaking the nose gear off during painting and had to drill out the main strut and...
