https://usaairbrushsupply.com/shop-our-store/ols/categories/replacement-parts-5bc061 Maybe these guy can help? I don't know for myself, but I hate to see a man suffer.

"Eh Up!" Were you a Para, Nick? Welcome Aboard! Great model stuff! :good:

Thanks Paddy! Fun. Hmmm....... The end result is sorta successful, but I don't think I'll smash anymore model kits after resurrecting Lazarus. I just clearly don't like to lose.

A coat of Tamiya X-22 on the scratched-up 49-year-old canopy, and some careful Dullcote touch-up, and I'm calling "Lazarus the E28/39" done. The cockpit details I added are near impossible to discern through the thick ancient, clear plastic canopy, but I know it's all in there! "Lazarus"...

I see this now! :doh:

Rather than ranting at misbehaving students underway, I stop my bus and take "The Walk" to address rude, disrespectful, or aberrant behavior, in a personal fashion. Friday, the lines of entropy must have been badly snarled. "There seem to be a whole bunch of students on my bus that don't...

I am always astounded that Armor builds seem like they are almost completely assembled before paint. I guess I do the same thing with my airplanes. :bm:

Welcome aboard, Mr. Tegner! What do you like best to build?

Clarke Electric came to remove Le Branche from Le Power Line and left me a pile of firewood they chopped from the top of the dead tree to combust. FUN!! I expect another unneeded snow event here in April, but putting the old tractor back in service for the yard harvest season seems wise at this...

Oh YES! The touring version of a Fiat Mephistopheles MUST have a snazzy, more generous windscreen. :good:

I'm that Grampa. "Do (whatever it was you thought was best). Be a happy Guy." With an addendum. The asking for advice/tips that you don't make use of or heed, makes me wonder why in God's name you wasted MY precious time asking in the first place. :lol:

Apologies, men. Mr. Samsung ran out of sparks mid-meeting.

I added the tiny Clear Prop p/e guide part to the canopy on the RH side. I'm unsure it was worth the effort on Lazarus. There was a tiny gap under the windscreen. All y'all know how I feel about gaps! She's still on her nose gear, even though removing the canopy masks led to a bit of...

MUHHU-HAHA-HAHA-Haha! She sits on her nose gear, but only just! I'm still calling this a win! The canopy will be demasked after I'm sure the upside-down part of the build is done. A brass tube jet pipe replaces the chunky plastic kit exhaust. 2 coats of Dullcote and the de-turds seem...

A hefty coat of Testors Dullcote went on the E28/39 build this morning. I'ma thinkin' one more generous coat of clear flat may tame these awful Clear Prop decals.

Barry Groos has requested the presence of the Plastic Surgeons at his home 23 April, 2026. He comments the sound and tom-foolery of our members improves his Dad's spirits. (Why would it not?) My Sweetie and I will not be able to attend, this go. We both rise much to early Friday A.M. to go...

If you care to take a gander at the model musings of an aging Micro Model Maniac, feel free to do so! https://tlarmodels.com/f/model-musings You are also welcome to view previous blog posts at your leisure. I did post a bunch of new kit listings as well! Cheers muckers!

A fine, sweet Monday morning to my model friends! Homer's "Rosy-fingered dawn" heralds a new day, and new hope for all Men (and Wimmin-people too!) This is what Moon Set looks like at "School Bus O'Clock"!

.13 I.D. should get your there, or 3.302 mm, Bubba.
