  1. Who doesn't - but when I start one, I run a string of duct tape around the sides of the box and cut the lid 3/4 to make an opening lid... helps a little
  2. Beautiful work !!! Love the weathering but everything is really really well done
  3. Beautiful work !!! Oscar Perdomo's bird - last ace of WWII
  4. Wow that's really nice !!! Gotta do a P-40 soon - so many cool ones around
  5. Impressive work all around... However I seem to remember - and my memory might be off - that the wooden blades were covered with fabric... so I'm not sure if you'll see wood on a chipped blade... Forgive me if I'm remembering it wrong...
  6. I was just going over the last couple of pages (marvelling !!) but it made me think - how do you cut and drill those thin plates and avoid distortion of the cut edges ? I was looking at the flap ribs with the cut-out's in them especially...
  7. uhhhhh very nice - looking forward to following this... Where did you (Cees) get the Bristol Mercury's from ?
  8. Foreigners - non-native pilots in an airforce... plenty of options in WWII at least, I don't know about WWI, vietnam or Korea
  9. In principle yes LOL, but I find if I have too many WIP's i get stressed and rush through builds to reduce the stress - and that's never good for quality...
  10. Yeah me too - Hasegawa's F is hard to find and Trumpeter's is not a F at all - but a G-2... I like the Revell kit too, so perhaps one day when I clear all the other WIP's I'll go that way too
  11. Good article but if you dont want to go the Aires way it skips a bit on the canopy part. The G canopy frames were much wider than the F's - if you can get an E canopy you are close.
  12. I've used a couple of Barracuda's for P-51 cockpits and it does wonders to the look of it... so I'm in for a couple of these. Where to order ? http://www.aimsmodels.co.uk is not working for me anymore - and are you still shipping from Hungary (+/-) ?
  13. That is very very nice indeed And I think I've found someone who matches my ability to make updates to WIP threads
  14. Nice work ! I've had good success with doing wingtip lights and landing light covers in the plastic from transparent toothbrushes - polishes out REALLY nice
  15. I just saw the J7 Shinden back - I thought that was gone for good... So it might be like most other manufacturers that they do a run and then another run a few years later...
  16. As for vallejo Green Zinc chromate https://www.hlj.com/71094-green-zinc-chromate-vlj71094 For yellow I use 71107 US interior yellow I'm looking forward to following this
  17. On scalemates it is listed as in the 2016 release family, although it says "new parts". If it's not the canopy then the mask from the A6M5c kit should be fine... probably not if the mask is for the 1971-2013 A6M5... depends on what you mean with 'old'
  18. Congrats with such a spektacular result of this project !! Every vac project of yours is a 'must see', 'must follow' and a 'must admire' thing for me. And this is just as fantastic as the others - I know cause I've been on a ID (tigger) quest some years ago with a result less stellar than yours (but never the less very rewarding). Remarkable ! Thomas
  19. Oh yeah - that would be good - and should be a big time seller !! The 109F was merely a suggestion to what is (slightly) missing in the market of a plane that usually sells well. If it was my company I'd establish a solid base before going into the more exotic - and uncertain - kits
