Nice, is it good and rigid?
While it is square, I would not call this metal rigid as it does bend. It was easy to flatten against glass though. I didn't check the calibration (measurements) for accuracy. The Masterpiece Models' rulers, being laser engraved, are very accurate.

Awesome scores guys! Way to go!
Last month at our IPMS meeting, one of my fellow club members gave me his raffle ticket that everyone gets who enters a model in the club competition. I actually won something with it:
Sweet!

Another piece of the puzzle. Bought from Victory Models and Trains to support brick & mortar shops. OK, free delivery and being stateside were motivators as well.
I know, I got a KT I haven't finished yet and I went and got another.
Thanks Susan, arrived timely and no problems.

Custom vinyl mask Saul?
Lots of teeth with no available (or incorrect) decals.
Also, it cuts thin styrene, basswood, and balsa sheets.
Last, they have a line of atrociously expensive ink pens which one can transfer the ink (like dry transfers) to an object. However, I still have (a dwindling) supply of material to create my own dry transfers using my color laser printer.
AliExpress $4.25 delivered...
The handle has a plastic collet. It is low quality. However, the blade is a PE steel thick enough for heavy use.
I decided to use a handle with a full metal collet... The plastic collet handle will be used with PE CA dispensors.

There ya go! Foxhound seats with Guys in them! Brilliant!
Right after the Dallas mishap involving B-17G "Texas Raiders" and the Kingcobra, I realized I didn't have decals to build a Texas Raiders Fortress. I hunted all over to find a set, but the 1/72 decals on our side of The Pond were $50.00! Tsk, tsk. Capitalizing on disaster are we? Model Prick!
Kitsworld decals are based in UK. It is easy to open an account and place an order. I did so 14 November 2022.
These arrived in the Post this day. I got the 1/144 scale set to make a Meng Kids B-17G a Texas Raiders airplane. Teresa won the Meng kit in a raffle. It's cute!
The 1/72 artwork is reserved for a Revell Ag Flying Fortress kit. It seems appropriate to commemorate these skilled Confederate Air Force men that lost their lives doing what they so loved to do.
But wait!
Kitsworld also markets other cool airplane model stuff. These are samples sent along with my first order. The resin decal cockpit details are particularly provacative, don't you agree? There is quite a range in most popular scales. Prices are very attractive!
The Airfield bases are adhesive backed, but not thick enough to offer much relief. Still, very cool!
You can try them out if you wish to. I am thrilled with my first order experience!

Let it be publicly known that I am sending this kit, along with a set of Hellenic decals (guess the scheme), to John Eaton (@jeaton01) as a thank you for letting me use his Tamiya F-15C and Spitfire parts. It is one year, I hope you get the Revell kit, as my gift, in time for Christmas!
