LSP_K2 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 This totally figures. Not only did I not use any of this stuff, I had completely forgotten that I even had them. I stumbled upon them tonight, "hiding" in the basement. I'll toss them into my G-10 box, where I'll probably use at least some of it. I really need to get organized, big time.

LSP_K2 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Happy news for me. I did a bit of research last night (on the IPMS USA site), and was able to identify at least four shows in 2022 that are within 300 miles or so from me. Attending any one (or all four) of these shows, should be a snap for me, once this model is finally finished, which it shall be.

LSP_K2 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 OK, a few days back, I noticed that my tank pressure had dropped to zero, so a new tank was definitely in order. Picked one up Tuesday and dragged it down to the dungeon tonight. Normally the tanks average about 600psi, but this particular tank was especially well filled, so gives me a current reading of 750psi. I'm able to paint again,... yay!

LSP_K2 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 And even more interesting news; while tonight searching for some books to sell off, I grabbed one that, unbeknownst to me, had a decal sheet in it, a 1:32 Fw 190D-9 set, to be specific. Why it was inside the book, I have no idea. The good news (sort of), is that it contains a yellow 15, and in a color that I actually like, unlike the previous EC sheet that I had purchased specifically for this model. Two problems with this though; while the yellow is excellent, there's no black outline, and the five, in particular, is of a slightly different design. Still, I may use them anyway, unless my ongoing searches turn up something better. dodgem37, LSP_Kevin, MikeMaben and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 I apparently read the pressure gauge wrong yesterday,... it's actually very close to 900psi, not 750, so all the better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Oh boy, Hobby supplies! I just loves getting me some hobby stuff in the mail. While these are not for this project, they are for the G-10 I'll soon be starting, so I just decided to dump them here.

LSP_K2 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Finally! Main gear and doors more or less finished now. Still a tiny amount to do, but I'm very pleased to have gotten this far.

It won't. I had the same problem (poor coverage) with their Insignia Blue. By the time I got coverage the paint was on so thick it wasn't acceptable.

Not glad it happened to you, as such, but I am glad that I'm not the only person on the planet that's had a bad experience with the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 And yet another milestone; inboard cooling flaps now painted to my satisfaction. Between ejector pin remnants, sanding marks, more primer, more sanding , more pin mark remnants and even more priming/painting (there must be 15 coats of lacquer on these things), I believe they finally now look acceptable. They're really not perfect by any means, but the low angle of them, combined with the high angle of the nose, will work out just swimmingly, I suspect.
