I am making my first attempt at using a wash to accent the panel lines on a
model aircraft but it hasn't been completely successful.
I painted the model mostly using Tamiya spray cans with a few small parts
brush painted using Tamiya acrylic. I left that to dry for a few days then

are there any sheets out there for the Hercules in USAF service in 1/72 scale?
haven't been able to find any so far.

Got a problem with an Aztek A430. The trigger on top doesn't seem to move
the plunger inside the body when it's pulled back, but the plunger will move
against spring resistance if pushed back by a rod inserted from the front,
with the nozzle removed.

Take a quick look at these - http://www.modelspot.com/photo/iat04/iat04.htm
Thanks!

Subject says it all.

Only slightly OT.
Does anyone know of a Dragon Rapide plying the California skies?
If possible I need registration number and registered owner.
TIA

 I am interested in building a flying scale model rocket of the BQM-74E
Target Drone from Northrop-Grumman.  Does any one have any info on this
aircraft?  All I have found so far is length, diameter, and wingspan.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Hi fellow plastic pervs.
  Ok, minds out of the gutter. I'm tanking tanks here. I'm building
the Academy Honey tank. They give you a really nice kit with an
interior, but there's an overhang under the backside of the tank

Has anyone here ever used teflon thread tape as an alternative to hobby
masking tape?  Y'know, it's the white non-sticky tape that we use on our
pipe and coupler threads to prevent air leak while airbrushing.  I was
wondering if it is safe if I applied it on an acrylic paint coat ...

Howdy all.
I want to buy a set of the Italeri ww2 British paratroopers and ww2 US
infantry figures, but would like to know what color they are molded in.
I've written to Italeri direct, but haven't yet heard back.

hopefully I will be moving in a month or so and had hoped to sell some
of my collection to have less to move and to have a few bucks to spend
on expenses....  I will have room to store the unbuilts at the new
place. The buildups, well that could be a problem.

Just got hold of Tamiya's beautiful 1/72 Fiseler V-1 bomb, and I'm
thinking of doing something different from the bomb on trolley look.
Were there any Luft 46 designs that used the V-1 bomb?

i notice on the side of the alumilite package it says you can use
alumilite with a mold made out of alumilite. anyone tried this? im
wondering what  i need to do in order to keep the alumilite from
sticking to the mold (which will also be made from alumilite.)

just got the 1 p47b-he 111 lindberg set and it seems pretty
cool. it even has glue and paint. but it has swastikas for
the 111. did lindberg screw up?

Anybody got a line on a Heller Super G Connie? Got the Maxdecals sheet for
the LC-130 and it has a killer scheme for a stretched Connie- Tried Ebay and
searching Google and nothing's out there. Thanks-
