  1. I have done it lacquer over enamael jsut dont spray it wet according to ai According to some sources, lacquer can be used over most fully cured enamels that have good film integrity. However, others say that lacquer should not be applied over enamel: Lacquer solvents: Lacquer solvents are stronger, faster evaporating, and "hotter" than enamel solvents. The lacquer solvents can "dissolve" the enamel paint underneath them, leading to "alligatoring" or cracking. Chemical attack: Lacquer can chemically attack the enamel causing wrinkles, eaten paint, or just soft spots. Craising: Lacquer or dope can craze the enamel and make a swirled up mess. Removing paint: The enamel will lift and make a mess if you put lacquer over it.
  2. https://youtu.be/eTPiJ9OkvgM michigan toy soldier has it in the usa I have ordered from them. I mostly dont use ca glue but this seems worth while
  3. found this btw are we talking about the lacquer or aquesous paint https://forums.kitmaker.net/t/thinner-and-thinning-ak-real-colors/3457 did not know that the ak has its own built in leveling agent so that using mr color leveling gives a glossy coat suposedly Ihave used mr color thinner and mr levaling with it as welll as cheap generic thinner all good. I jst bought some of their high compatibility thinner
  4. I have also used mr color thinners with acceptable results, however given the effort of stripping etec if there is an advantage to using their thinners I am going to try theirs on my next build
  5. I am abouat to start the hgw version of this with a ton of ams goodies they included wheels rivets canopy masks yahu cockpit ip and more. I read a couple of reviews about he canopy not sitting flush but am going to do it with the front panels off to showcase the engine. Btw I know a lot fo the db engines had some stencils on it any rhyme or reason to what to put there except some numbers?
  6. I am very interested in it not enjoying it if you get what I mean. 6 weeks was reportedly the est life span of a crew. Far different then the ground war in that they did not really have the normality of the base in bweteen the episodes of terror. The part where the boy felt so guilty for not dying with the belly turret gunner when teh door jamed was gut wrenching. I am looking forward to episode 5. I am getting into dcs and it is interesting to see the stratagey from the lufwaffe pov.
  7. thanks it was a 2 year wait to get on the list to build it.
  8. after moving I have been very slow to set up my modeling area in part to moving inpart due to buying a new sports car however just got the new zouko maru Fw 190 A annd assorted ams so looking forward to restarting
  9. thanks for the build post I got inspired and picked one up from sprue bros. I have a set of HGW positive rivets I may try on it. The model does seem a bit complicated with things I will not show.
  10. funny and pertinent topic, I am moving and just lost the access door of my 1/32 tamiya F 15. It is not bad just no best work and huge was thinking of tossing it or also atking off the better bits like the armaments' and giving it away here canopy and wheels might be worthwhile as some one is always losing same
  11. okay register as a recipent and donating a tamiya p 51 also from coogrfan we are splitting the donation in truth it is mostly his donation
