Hey does anyone know of a professional painting service for plastic
models?  I got the Tamiya F-16 CJ that I will assemble myself but
don't want to fool with painting.

How come as soon as I start a Classic Airframes FAA kit (Wyvern and now
Sea Hawk), Trumpeter immediately bring out a more refined injection
moulded version?

OK, the HH-3 is almost done. Looking for my next quickie project before I
start tackling some larger kits.
Got the old Revell OV-10. US Marine decals. Painting suggestion seems to be

I have an older Hasegawa TF-18 kit in 1/72 that I was thinking of

are there any that anyone uses with real success?  Are there any real tips/

Aren't computers great???????
does anyone have a list prepared of most of the basic, most popular,
etc model websites that I can start with?
