Nice I have that Owl conversion in 1/32. Gives the a/c a whole new look for something so simple.

Kewl! Is the IL-2 book an indicator of a future project Chuk? . Would be cool to see Hannah's Soviet counterpart

 

[Gator]

Very nice haul Chuck. I have something similar the the sticky sticks on my bench. Are they reusable?

 

[jknaus]

Got my compressor yesterday. Only problem so far is I cant attach the water trap/pressure regulator. No matter what it ends up upside down. Am annoyed at that. Will take to work and see if I get a chance to work on it. Got a new hose with water trap and some paint droppers and some quick disconnect fittings.

And got this little beauty from Danebramage.

That's odd with the moisture trap. Mine came with it facing the normal way. Will it not loosen up any to turn it?

 

[jknaus]

It was not attached. But if I turn it till it tightens up its upside down. If I dont bottom it out it just flops around. So I dont know if I need a compression ring or nut or what. Never had that happen before.

That is odd. Mine was attached to the tank when I got it. I bet you can find some type of fitting that would help out.

 

[Bagge]

If you wrap the fitting with teflon tape? then you can adjust it with how much tape you put on i think, that usually works, think loctite have some product for sealing air fittings to.

[jknaus]

Hi Mats. Yeah I used teflon tape. It is a very loose fitting. Will see what I can do today.

Look what the mailman brougt me today........ :yipee

This kit was very kindly sent to me by our fellow MA member Barney. He offered me this kit, for free, a few weeks ago, when he learned I was looking for it!!

Needless to say I'm very happy with this kit and a jetpowered parcel is on it's way to Barney as we speak and should land at Barney's in a few days

Another Fokker D.XXI, but this is the Dutch version with the Dutch Decals :yipee

Enough decals for two Dutch D.XXI's!

Thanks again Barney

Cheers Erik

 

[SA Dave]

Yes Barney is EVIL like that

 

[jknaus]

Needed an adapter for the compressor, but it is now fixed.
Got these today.

Never even knew this was in the works, but its a cool looking vehicle.

Some parts for a Mig and some masks for my F-117.

A new volume of a very good figure painting series.

And the new Panzer Vor.

[nerdling]

Glad you got the compressor sorted out James. Does it seem to be working ok so far?

 

[jknaus]

Havent had a chance to try it. Been very early mornings this week. Plugged it in and turned it on so far and its nice and quiet and no brownouts which is a definite plus.
