  1. Wouldn't mind you putting me down for a set as well. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark

  5. Good is a relative term. For what you get, it is a beginning. https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=740 Put some time into a Rex myself. Sincerely, Mark
  6. My Brother, where you at? Finished mine last year. Sincerely, Mark
  7. 'It doesn't really matter though - regardless of ground line orientation, . . .' The higher the tail the less main landing gear deflection. The weight is transferred from horizontal, pushing the main landing gear forward, to the vertical, pushing the main landing gear down. Just sayin'. Sincerely, Mark
  8. How much flex is there from relaxed position (no weight bearing) to stress position (weight bearing)? Your .07, 4.318mm, YIKES! may be coming from that. Another thing, does the point of the tail support angle match that of the real aircraft, so that if the line is continued, the model would be sitting on its' tailwheel? Just thinking out loud. Sincerely, Mark
  9. Is the method of correction you're proposing the right way to make the correction? Or the short way to make the correction? The long way to make the correction may be the best. Changing the insert angle to match your need is one option. Offering a ball joint is another, though fraught with peril. Good luck, Jay. Always a pleasure looking in. Sincerely, Mark
  10. 'Still having the issues with ordering on the Kotare website.' Try the following: When you are asked to type your address, insert your entire address, from house number to postal code. If you insert only your house number and street name the site will not work. Sincerely, Mark
  11. BRAVO!, Bro! Sincerely, Mark
  12. A jig. One that the bottom/base can set into. Sincerely, Mark
  13. Too wonderful for words, Jaybo. I do have to say, 'I feel ya.' Sincerely, Mark
  14. I ran into a similar problem, tho mine was with a wing. To separate the parts I reasoned that if I run a bead of weld along the seam it would loosen the seam and I would be able to separate the parts, as I had used weld to melt the plastic to begin with to glue them together. I did so, and the weld loosened the bond and I was able to pry the wing apart without damage and start anew. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Mark
  15. Sincerely, Mark

  17. Love what you’re doing, Jay. Grafix Dura-Lar Wet Media Acetate. Sincerely, Mark.
  18. Does Fusion 360 allow you to penetrate/add to the face of a cylinder or do you have to make a rectangle, penetrate/add, then fillet the edges to get a penetrated/added to cylinder? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark
  19. For what it's worth. Sincerely, Mark
  20. Love your work, John. '. . . no word on the clear canopy replacement from Tamiya for the Spitfire XIVe . . ' After communicating with Tamiya regularly, and waiting 5 years, I gave up and bought a canopy on eBay. Good luck with them. '. . . digitizing the irregular line patterns in AutoCAD is quite onerous . . ' I scan decals, draw them in Adobe Illustrator then print them on a Silhouette. For a soft painted edge I use printer paper instead of mask. I elevate the paper above the surface and get a soft overspray edge. Good luck. Sincerely, Mark
  21. Alrighty then. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark
  22. The seat appears to be upside-down. Sincerely, Mark
  23. Thank you, Sirs. Sincerely, Mark
