  1. Beautiful! how did you mask it this time?
  2. Since I am the mod that locked the thread, after discussion: The thread being locked had nothing to do with WNW or content whatsoever. It was locked because the thread was degenerating into a bicker-fest between members, with no positive contribution to the topic. That is what gets threads locked.
  3. Great job! Our family flew in BA 747's to and from the UK when we visited England and Scotland. Two great flights. I had no idea they retired them, too bad, the 747's were comfy.
  4. Looks great! I do not know what Alclad uses for catalyst. I am just remembering doing some two-part lacquer work while restoring a 68 Vette. Mixing the catalyst with the base color, especially in small batches like we were dealing with, was tricky. It was bright red, too, by the way. Anyway, your new paint looks fantastic!
  5. Hmmm, the only thing I can think of is the red didn't have enough catalyst in it? It can stay pretty tacky for a long while if it doesn't go off correctly. In a pre-mixed lacquer, though, I am not sure how you would 'add' more. Maybe the paint wasn't stirred enough? Maybe the clear is a little more catalyst heavy?
  6. Strange. Lacquer paint should have been rock hard after 5 days. And Tamiya tape should not have affected it!
  7. Nice! Are you going to leave the glass out of the cockpit like the studio model?
  8. That would be typical army, wouldn't it? Just show the offending part dented so the 'fridge door clears it! Seriously, looks like a simple CAD change will fix that; assembly looks good!
  9. To do the Finnish version you need a new engine and cowl, unfortunately.
  10. What kind of paint was it? I have never seen Tamiya tape do that to that degree.
  11. I did the same, as well as pick up a set of the Border figures. Here are the ones from the UK: They are pretty nice, though my set is missing the hat that should be in the guy's hand top row, 2nd from left. My only quibble is that some of the faces are a little simplified, but they may look better under paint. Here are the Border figures: They are very nice with a lot of surface texture that painting will really stand out, and good facial features. I did notice that some of figures are nearly identical in torso with different arm positions or details. But placed apart from each other they will work fine. The two sets should also work well together. The one thing missing from the two sets are seated pilots! Strange, when they are obviously recreating the scene when the aircraft take off from the Akagi to hit Pearl Harbor. Good to see Albion Alloy is filling the void!
  12. OK, this topic is veering in a completely different direction, so I am locking it!
  13. Das Werk has already announced their own 251/22 coming out this summer ( I think) so it should be at a better price point, and better detailed.
  14. I have asked him repeatedly about coming out with ANY VVSS Shermans but he is keeping tight-lipped. I do think it is a no-brainer since he now has the VVSS suspension modeled in the M-10 kits. Which version is the question. I have the Freedom Models 1/16 Kettenkrad w/Goliath kit. Looks ok, but haven't done a deep dive into it yet. (Too many kits, too little time.)
  15. Click on the pic of the M4A1, it is a link that will take you there.
  16. I have mine on pre-order from HLJ. That is also where I got my Gecko Models 1/16 PzIIc A/B/C, which is no where to be found in the states; not even for pre-order.
