Looking forward to the updates in the other builds!

[super thin plastic card?]

I looked at the plus models website and cant seem to find the thin plastic card. Do you have a link?

[1/32 Tamiya F4U-1a Corsair - Boyington's 17740]

What a gorgeous build. I’m really becoming a big fan of your work and can’t wait for some updates in the other WIP’s.

 

Keep up the great work,

Chuck.

Sorry Chuck. I missed the part about why you didn’t want to try vacforming. I wasn’t trying to sound like a smart ass!

[super thin plastic card?]

I’ve found some ultra thin plastic shim that might work for Me. It isn’t polystyrene but I’ve come up with another plan to accomplish what I need.

 

I’ve ordered and I’ll do some tests and report back with what I find. 

[super thin plastic card?]

Oops!

 

Yah your right, I meant to type .0025" (.06MM) or thinner.

 

Any ideas?

[super thin plastic card?]

Has anyone come across regular styrene plastic card that is .025" thick (.64mm) or even thinner? I know you can get plastic shim stock in that thickness, but it doesn't accept regular plastic glue which I want it to be able to do.

 

Any ideas?

Easy for me to say I know

[KH T-6/Harvard Kicked Up A Notch: Apr 14/20: Finished!]

I was hoping you were going to say "try vacforming your own replacements using the kits parts as masters" so I could see how its done

Looks great!

[KH T-6/Harvard Kicked Up A Notch: Apr 14/20: Finished!]

Ouch! 

 

Any idea on what your going to do with the new canopies to get them to fit when they arrive?

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Thanks again everyone.

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Thanks for sharing.

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Very nice Chuck.

 

Looking forward to the next update,

Chuck.

Are you decanting it and then airbrushing, or shooting it straight from the can?

[1/18 P51C Mustang "Lopes Hope the 3rd"]

Amazing!

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Do you find the Tamiya fine white to be smoother than the Gunze 1500, or about the same? Just wondering if my experience with the 1500 was due to my bad prep of the can or maybe a bad batch?

I’m going through Wolf withdrawl

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Thanks guys.

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

The issue I had with the Gunze 1500 might have been due to me being in a rush. Usually I heat up the cans in a bag in hot water and I shake the can for a couple of minutes before using. This time I failed to do both. Sometimes when your in a rush you just dont think!

 

I'm going to do some test sprays with my rattle cans and do a comparison to make some notes. If they dont give me the results I'm needing I'll also do some test sprays with my various airbrush primers.

[Best (ie smoothest) rattle can primer?]

Hey everyone. Doing some scratch building and was wondering what your experiences are when it comes to rattle can primers?

 

I know you will never get as smooth a finish from a rattle can as you will an airbrush, but for those times when your in a hurry, which rattle can primer do you find to be the smoothest? So far my Tamiya fine surface primer is giving me a nicer finish as compared to my Gunze 1500 rattle can, but did I just have a bad can of Gunze?

 

Curious your thoughts on this.

[HH-60G Pavehawk Kitty Hawk 1/35 DONE!!]

Fantastic work!

 

Thanks for sharing it.
