  1. For years I have used the classic Robart paint shaker. It was adequate. Last year, Barbatos Rex on YouTube reviewed this product and I decided to try it. It is more of a circular/vortex action versus shaking. At about $100 US it is pricey...but I can recommend it. Several old bottles I had thought were gone...it restored them to smooth consistency!

  2. Riding along. (although I should be at my bench, working on kit)
  3. Gorgeous job and I love this colorful scheme on the "Butcher Bird"!
  4. Stuck doing some heap big filler work at all four corners of the wing/fuselage joint. Taking my time and trying to do a little bit each day. Paint is right around the corner and as of today, I have a proper spray booth.
  5. One of the guys at my local HobbyTown said that when Hasegawa last did a release, it was sold out rapidly. I cannot remember what he said was the time span but it may have been only days. That may have been the Kittyhawk III version that had all the parts to do E, long-tail-K, M, and N-1. I hope Eduart/Eduard do another run.
  6. Looking good, Tolga. I'm enjoying the ride along here.
  7. Totally exciting project! The Raptor is near and dear to my heart...
  8. Wow, Tolga, that looks very SHARP! Well done!
  9. ...Thanks Mal_Belford! Perhaps posting updates is one way to keep me going at a steady rate and keep that MOJO. Got the ol' airbrush going on some small parts...probably avoiding the big paint job in my own way. The drop tank got sprayed with craft acrylic. Why? The Folk Art brand matte colors airbrush well for me, as well as model paint. It also dries tight hiding no details as you'd expect from acrylic. I can brush on a coat of Future and it will be tough enough for some weathering. This thing will look well used. This color is a little lighter than Neutral Gray and I did that with the idea that this shows the drop tank came from a different government contractor...which is true. BTW, I got this Dove Gray paint for a Adam West Batman model that I will get to, one day... Also used some of this now extinct MM paint for the Eduard resin exhausts. Since it is precious, I spray in small quantity. My Grex has no color cup...so I airbrush "gangster style".
  10. Thanks! I'm hoping to push this one over the finish line soon. It's been two years since the group build it started with. I had a many-month "slump" while I had a loss of project Mojo.
  11. I will try. This is my first time using masks of this complexity! It will be an adventure for sure.
