Know what you mean Wolf ............................ I've had more than one or two projects that I just tossed in the trash because I was so disgusted with it !!! Sometimes I just don't have that perseverance, especially when it comes down to the finish line and something goes wrong that would entail practically starting all over.

Paul, have you ever built a complete scratch project just from prints and drawings? If so, would love to see it/them. Will

T-Rex didn't leave much .................................

Watch Lathe ? .................. is that an actual tool, or are you putting us (me) on???

Aaaaaw ....................... we wanna see pictures!

47???? ................................. wait till you get to 68!! ............................................... It's STILL enjoyable!

Eagle (the name is Paul- right?) painting is my big preoccupation also. Having started with an airbrush only a few years ago, I STILL do a lot of experimentation, not only with techniques, but also with paint brands and all the associated thinners and such. There is such an array of choices it's mind boggling. To simplify things (as much as possible, and because they work best in my airbrush) I've rather settled (for the most part) on Tamiya products. I still get myself in trouble though now and then. When in doubt, use same name-brand products!

Quite some introductory post. Welcome aboard. Will be anxiously watching for future additions. Will

ChuchT, are you talking about using Tamiya's reg. paints with lacquer thinner ? I've used Tamiya's lacquer thinner only (no common brands) and it does work great, and leaves a very hard finish. Do you use other brands of lacquer thinner? Will

I'm looking forward to this also, as I have never seen a completed model of it.

Is that the one in shinny red plastic ? ............................................. showing my age!!

Welcome to the forum. Congrats. on your new addition. I just got my newest today, an Early Snipe .................. awaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go!

Hey, it's your build, if you want guns on it ............ put guns on it ! I won't tell....................

Wolf, with your setup, do you use a flash? Dumb question, I'm guessing ............... NOT!!!

I'll check with Spru Brothers. I order from them a lot, we are in the same state of Missouri. Thanks
