    Max, you use the setting agent on the surface or on the transfer? Glad it's working for you!

    I just contributed to the cause. Just seems right for all Kevin has done for the modeling community. JC Osborne

    Welcome to the build! Looking forward to following the progress on this one.

    Teresa, Wonderful job! The paint on that is second to none. Something to be really proud of.

    Man, really looking forward to this build! F-100 one of my all time favs.

    Joe, Cockpit is really coming along nicely! Sometimes I wonder about our attraction to AM items...... You can do a whole lot with what comes in most kits. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing this progress.

    Hmmm Joe, I hadn't seen the Quickboost seat. Are the seatbelts molded on?

    Thanks Paul, I've been around some Vietnam era aircraft and have looked at a lot of photos. Maintenance was done under combat conditions and things were kept clean, but worn and faded a bit. That is the look I'm trying to capture.

    Joe, I actually started on the Aires, but switched to the Wolfpack. For me the pe seatbelts were a nightmare. They just didn't look right. On top of that the color of Eduards prepainted looked garish... Way too bright. I preferred the molded on seatbelts of Wolpacks. Side by side the wolfpack seat is a bit smaller, but looks ok once in the pit.

    OK, back from vacation and finishing the pit. A BIG THANKS to Kai for providing his step by step instructions in his F8 build thread on his cockpit weathering. These were invaluable to me. I used MIG pigments in dusting this up and I'm heading off to a graphic arts store today to get a selection of pastels as I think they will do a better weathering job in the future (finer grind). So have finished most of the pit, put in the MG and have started buttoning up the fuselage.

    Teresa, VERY nice build (Mig 21 that is... ) Love the cammo work. Great airbrush control. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. Very nice job.
  12. Joe Osborne
    Very nice job on the OOB pit! Looks as good as any Eduard set.

    UPDATE: painted and installed avionics and wheel bays... painted exhaust cone. and say hello to my NEW FRIEND! Back to work on the cockpit...

    Kai, That is amazing work on a cockpit. In fact, it's the best looking modern day cockpit I've ever seen. Any weathering tips you'd like to share? I'm about to finish off my A-7E cockpit and will take all the advice I can. Incredible job.
  15. Joe Osborne
    Very nice build! Love the detail. I've written down that formula for USN Killed White. Looks spot on.
  16. Joe Osborne
    Man, you are a plastic surgeon! Great job on the Thud. Can't wait to see it finished.
  17. Joe Osborne
    This one is on my list of kits to do. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Coming along reall nice.
  18. Joe Osborne
    I've built one of these with PE, and you're spot on. My advice is use what you can and bin the rest. Looking forward to seeing this one come out.

    Jack, For the price you pay for this AM stuff, you should at least get a secret decoder ring

    OK Fellow LSP'ers :-) Here's an update. Received the avionics bay. Got that cleaned up and painted in chromate yellow. [/url] Finished the internals of the wheel bays, and need to put a final white coat before weathering.Time consuming working with these small resin parts, but worth it in the end. [/url] [/url] ..and drum roll please..... the PIT FITS! this was my biggest area of concern never having done a resin cockpit before and the Aires instructions suck. Had some kit shaving to do as well and that was nail biting - but great to see it fits. Need to ad a few more things to the pit and then I'll finish the seat. [/url] Onward and upward.

    Folks, i have to tell you what a great group of people you are. I posted a question today to try and decide which of two approaches I should take with the wing tanks, and within 30 minutes I had TWO offers of Hasegawa wing tanks. Incredible. Really enjoying my time here. Wonderful folks. Thanks!
  22. Joe Osborne
    Have a question for you guys. I'm looking to replace the wing tanks on this kit as they are waaayy out of shape. Saw on one of the forums a suggsetion to use Fishers resin tanks. What're your thoughts ..... too heavy? Alternative is to buy the Hasegawa A4 kit. Resin pods are cheaper.
  23. Joe Osborne
    I read Military Illustrated Modeler, Model Airplane International, AIR modeler, SAMI, and FSM. Love to read how others build kits and approach their builds. I get them all on the IPad now. Have been getting them solely that way off a few years now.

    Paul, I don't want to encourage this lot..... but I've enjoyed the comedy. Glad to see folks don't take themselves so seriously! Tonight I actually dry fit the intake and pit after removing the kits cockpit rails and voila! It worked! Love it when a plan comes together. Didn't take any photos of it tonight but will when I close it up I will. Thanks for all the encouragement!

    I don't get no respect.... one time I went to a group build and a comedy show broke out!~ BOOM!
