Citadelgrad replied to Onspring's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Ipad user here. First you need to find a photohosting site that plays well with the forum. I use imageshack, there are others that will work. Host the photo and then copy the url from there unto the post using “insert image from URL” button at the bottom right of the posting box. that works for me. -

I started my first LSP as an adult and finished it about 4 years later. .25 at present is my record.

Biggest quantity of one particular kit in the stash?
Citadelgrad replied to Shoggz's topic in General Discussion
This is my approach as well. I've only built a few LSPs, but there is nothing worse than finding that some AM that is wanted is no longer around. -

Biggest quantity of one particular kit in the stash?
Citadelgrad replied to Shoggz's topic in General Discussion
I'm a piker and a newbie. I was going to say no repeats, which is technically almost true, but I find I do have 2 FW190 F8s and old and new tool Revell, a hase Dora, and two (?) Ta 152s, a C and an H 0. Well, there's a 48th scale 190, too, but I won that in a raffle, so. ... -
That's my experience, above. The first time I tried them I was amazed, absolutely looked painted on. The second time, and I think it was because the water was too cold, it was a disaster. Then with warm water, it worked but I lost my confidence.

Citadelgrad replied to Oldbaldguy's topic in General Discussion
I try to balance between accuracy and my limited abilities. When I built my Gabreski P 47, I spent a lot of time figuring out what the drop tank plumbing was supposed to look like, and was pretty happy with the result. I also added corrugated to the floor because when I started, that was the info I had. Win some, lose some. I try to build things that really existed, and try to make my model look, to my eye, like the real thing, but the draw for me is the mental distraction that a good hobby provides. That's why I do this. When I was young and inpatient, it was a race. N9w I spend years on and off working on a large kit. -
My dad's all time favorite AC, B47E, and he got to fly a bunch of types.

The Aircraft we would HAVE to Scratch Build Right Now
Citadelgrad replied to Archimedes's topic in LSP Discussion
Injection molded B 57 Cranberry. I don't build a lot of jets, but I would make an exception. Love the lines, the fighter style cockpit, and the SEA camo. -
I noticed, for me at least, that the transfers seem VERY temperamental about temperature. I used some with warm water and it was a dream. When I had issues of them disintegrating, the water was cold. I warmed the water and all was good. That said, I have trouble trusting them now.

F-107 had the same hairy setup. Yikes.

Hasegawa Ki-61-1 Lightning Deal at Sprue Brothers
Citadelgrad replied to Juggernut's topic in LSP Discussion
Special Categories - Lightning Deals - Sprue Brothers Models LLC No affiliation, and I just picked up a Ju87 G here with aftermarket for a song, so I am not buying one. -
I think they are fine. If you want, send me your address and I will mail a couple to you to check out. Or I can photograph them better for you.

I had a set of "Ace of Spades" decals made for a tank I was working on for a veteran. I sent them a blurry pdf of an unobtainable decal sheet in the wrong scale. I can't remember how much is was but after trying to find them everywhere I was happy to pay. I got a bit of silvering, but that was my fault. They lay down on a gloss very well, but the tank was 3d printed and I could not get a suitable surface. Very responsive and didn't take long to get them.

Is the ZM Ta 152H-0 a fairly simple easy build
Citadelgrad replied to oyoy5's topic in LSP Discussion
Rubbing hands like a villain....EXCELLENT, John! I have the H-) in my stash, and the KLP, now, I will get to watch another build before I tackle mine. -
I am just going to say wow.
