Who on here have had dealings with Kitlinx??
James Rademaker replied to swede's topic in General Discussion
I used them once and ordered some resin parts for a FW 190-D. The item listed as IN STOCK. I waited about 10 days with no communication from them. I sent and email and was told they made a mistake and the item was not in stock. I asked for a refund and they refunded my credit card. Never went back after them experience. Jim -
Beautiful display of your modeling skills, I am soooo jealous! It looks like it belongs on the flight deck ready to launch. Jim

1/32 Hasegawa F6F-3 Hellcat
James Rademaker replied to James Rademaker's topic in Ready for Inspection
Thanks guys, I really like to work on the old Hasegawa kits and try to bring them up to today’s standards. Re- scribing and improving the cockpits and landing gear stuff. It keeps my mind from going oatmeal. Jim -

Welcome to the forum Thomas. Your work is excellent. Hope to see more of your talents in the future. Regards, Jim -
Nice choices on the markings. Are you making your own decals for the builds? Jim

I love Mustangs, you are my hero for building three at a time. Either you are a mad genius or absolutely crazy to try this. Nice work thus far, looking forward to you completing the builds. Any idea on the markings for each pony? Jim

Just placed and order. I hope this helps. Your work in excellent. Regards, Jim

The F-35 reminds me of the early 60’s when US defense secretary of defense Robert Mc Mara ( I know I spelled his name incorrectly) wanted to have commonality in US aircraft. Remember the F-111 for the Navy? All the extra changes for the F-4 for the USAF. From all the reports I have seen about the F-35’’s ACM data, when it when up against US F-16’s it LOST! Then , you add all of the extra costs for a USAF, US Navy and USMC VTOL platform in my opinion is a huge dog and drain on the taxpayer. Just my opinion. Jim

Great build thus far, looking forward to seeing the rest of the WIP. A quick question? The model looks very detailed. Could you tell me how much the kits cost in US dollars? Thanks, Jim -
F-86 Ejection seat
James Rademaker replied to Eagle Driver's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
There is a guy on eBay that sells 3D resin F-86 cockpits, ejection seat and instrument panel. I used all of them in my 1/32 Hasegawa F-86-40. Fits very well into that kit. Just go to eBay and search 1/32 F-86 and it will come up. Jim -
Really like the early 60’s paint finish before going to TAC camouflage. Excellent work. Jim

Modern Jet Decal sheet size / option preference?
James Rademaker replied to Dave Roof's topic in LSP Discussion
Dave, option one makes more sense to me. All in one shopping for a particular aircraft. Thanks, Jim -
I also tried that method to “save time” and experienced the same. Humbrol, Testors, and Model Master enamels. I just take a glob or two with is on my paint stirrer and place in into a paint palette add thinner (small amounts) and go from there. Jim

I’ll pray for you and your country. Be safe. Jim

Hartman, Very nice work. Excellent details thus far. Looking forward your your progress. I see that you live in Ukraine. I hope that you are safe. Seems very uneasy there right now. Regards, Jim

Hasegawa 1/32 Spitfire MkVb
James Rademaker replied to Geoff Staniland's topic in Ready for Inspection
Geoff, can you let us know the colors you used for this terrific build? Thanks, Jim -
Good morning guys, A quick question regarding acrylic paint. I’m going to be building a 1/32 Spitfire MK. II. The painting guild suggest sky as the underside and spinner. I do not have an airbrush to finish my projects. I prefer to use the Tamiya spray colors. They do not have sky in spray. I noticed that Humbrol has a spray acrylic in sky color. Has anyone used this product? How is the color? And lastly, what do you seal the paint with in order to apply decals? Thanks, Jim
