Time to take the plunge and brush up on your colorful metaphors. On 9/30/2019 at 12:09 AM, chuck540z3 said: Really, really nice model and execution. Bravo! Cheers, Chuck Thanks Chuck On 9/30/2019 at 12:42 PM, R Palimaka said: Glad you persevered, that is stunning. All that effort has resulted in an exquisite model. I spent a lot of time looking over the photos and admiring all the meticulous work you've put in, from the build itself to the weathering. Beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft.

Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear and Gunze Leveling Thinner about 1:2 ratio. For a dead flat use XF-86 and Gunze Rapid Thinner 1:2. These ratios work for me. You should start at 1:1 and see what best for you.

MARU5137 14,155 Posted October 31 Rick... To say it was a difficult model for you to build, I think you did an OUTSTANDING, impressive job on it and I personally think it looks AMAZING. Looks AWESOME. You stayed with it .. persevered and showed tenacity in sticking with it; so now you can tackle anything put before you. You should be proud of your achievements..
