Chuck, First if all congratulation for your amazing model and thank you for sharing your work with us. And then, what about a Trumpeter 1:32 Su-27? It would be a very interesting choice, a very interesting build because: - The Su-27 is one of the most beatiful aircraft ever. - The Trumpeter kit call for a lot of aftermarket and detailing work. - The painting job is challenging, expecially when it comes to the exhausts, the natural metal surfaces, and the weathered camouflage of old russian aircrafts deployed up to the very north. My second best would be a Tamiya F-15E built as an Israeli F-15I. Cheers, Lucio

Hi Chuck, Did you use the Quickboost exhasts released for the Revell Spitfire? -

Chuck, What kind of advantages in using Mig washes instead of thinned oil paints ? You keep improving, build after build. Thank you for sharing your work with us. -

Kev, You're rigth! Yes, that same kind of button is on Android by default. I simply didn't know it. My apologies. -

Hi Chuck, For what is worth my opinion, I have a couple of possible answer for you. Nothing scientific, however. 1) Maybe there is a technical reason. Most of us follow your posts on a smart phone or a tablet. In case, to like a post switching to "full view" mode is required. By default, on Android and OS devices the "like" button is not visible at all. That is, maybe, why you get hundreds of views but you don't get hundreds of likes. 2) Your lately posts are visually beautiful but they almost don't allow for interaction. For example: You went "from shiny museum looking engine.... to a dirty and weathered engine that is used constantly" withour any "in progress" picture. That's a striking difference with your "in progress" posts of years ago. Now it seems that every post of yours is a self contained article ready to be published on a magazine. Showing more of the building process would give to people like me the possibility to ask you more questions about materials, tools, and techniques and to express our amusement. I guess that taking your high quality pictures is time consuming. But why don't you alternate your high quality pictures with pictures that can be shoot ith a phone while you are building your kit, day by day, without the need of setting up your photoboot ? That's my two cents... -

Chuck, Let me thank you for all this happiness! Nothing match your threads, both in terms of modelling and narrative. Keep going, I am altready dreaming about your forthcoming Spitfire... I have a question: If I remember well you are using inexpensive micro drills for pins. Where do you buy them? -

Chuck, I am in a deep crisis of abstinence, and I guess I am far from being the only one. Just post some picture of your Eagle, no need of any explanatory writings. Best, -
Hi, Accuracy wise, what about the 1/32 Hellcat cowl? I know that the one from Hasegawa in 1/48 is quite misshapen.
