Very crusty.
That hobby shop you got your rectified turp had Moskit pipes, sure wish someone would figure out how they did it and make 'em again!
Although they don't look quite as nice I have seen these http://modelsua.com/Rexx.html Bob I used Moskit pipes on the Betty and if you can find them I would get them. They look so nice.
No I had not seen it Ryan, already got some on the way though. Thanks just the same.
Thanks for the heads up Phil

True but then who's got your back ? :idonno
The Sturmovik not flying with the agility of a fighter caused a lot of anxiety with the aircrews . That is why the rear gunner option was an on/off proposition for this airplane .

Thanks Chris!
Well that brings up a point. I attempted to apply the Vallejo Chipping fluid with airbrush but it was too thick. Am I wrong using that? I then tried brushing but it seemed to thick. Once it was dried I painted the base coat and as it dried, had that weird cracking going on like the undercoat was not dry. Since I was chipping it all up figure it wasn't a big deal.
But, what do y'all think was going on here?

Not sure Bob. Haven't done it that way.
1. Sprayed on Tamyia silver rattle can. ( let it cure )
2. sprayed hair spray.....waited a few minutes .
3. sprayed regular Tamyia paint.....let dry a few minutes....rubbed with wet dry brush brush untill desired finish achieved ....
By all means nothing wrong with what you did. Just a different result with amount of wear and tear to the paint.
I'm still trying to learn the process myself.

Might have been the product I used.

I have the 'crackle' effect using hairspray, when laid on too thick and applied the paint right away. Might be part of the reason but I have never used the Vallejo stuff so can't say for sure.
Thanks Ken, Might have been too thick but it was a full day between layers, lacquer/hairspray/acrylics, so it had time to dry. Felt dry to the touch also. Again must have been the product, Cindy doesn't use real hairspray so I can't steal any from her.

So they don't sell hairspray in South Carolina? :laugh:
Might pick up some cause i'm not sure this Vallejo is intended to work the same as what I see elsewhere.

I've a heard a couple of things, one being that the chemical process
the guy used to thin the metal might have killed him.
Note: "Heard", not saying that's what actually happened.
More than likely he had to stop for environmental reasons...
Too bad, they were cool products.

They were basically anodized onto forms, and the forms melted out later. I'd heard divorce- note: heard.
Well, that has definitely been know to kill a lot of things :S
Need to get some pictures here. Started back on this, coming along nicely. Really need to rethink the assembly steps on these instructions, seems like things would be a whole lot easier in a different order.
Will have wings on today if I find the time.
