Only Jet Noises?? Don't forget the bomb whistles and explosions while the cat runs for cover!

[Working w/ photoetch]

I recommend you get the cutters that are made specifically for cutting photo etch, and don't use them for cutting anything else and they'll last a long time. I also use a lighted magnifier when cutting these parts.

[window tints on choppers]

Thanks for you help. I suspected I would have to airbrush the green on, I just wanted to try it with a brush since they are so small, I thought it would work that way. Next time I will spray the green, then coat with future.

I appreciate your suggestions.

Sincerely,

[window tints on choppers]

Hi group, just wondering how you all tint the upper windows in helos green. I tried using Tamiya clear brushed over the windows, after the window were coated with Future. They looked good until they dried, and a big bunch of tiny bubbles showed up. I stripped everything off and tried painting the windows first, but the same result: bubbles. I then tried tinting the Future, but once again the bubbles showed up.

Has anyone else had this trouble? Or am I doing something wrong in my methods.

I sure would appreciate any help or advice on how to do these better.

Thanks.

Sincerely.

Mike Sulzbach
