Vinnie Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well, I thought I was getting better and the Lanc, 109 and Spit would be just memories and test beds for airbrushing/ new glues. Thought I'd learnt my lessons and enjoyed builds with a BF110 and a BP Defiant, but after priming a JU87 I noticed the nose wasn't straight. Lost all interest in it now. Moving on with an Airfix Typhoon. 'Note to self' More care required! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The odd one of mine has become a test bed. If I want to see how a new paint reacts with my prefered gloss or matt etc, I use it to see what will happen. Better than trying it out first time on that uber kit and having the paint crack up.

I thought "bangers" were a type of sausage but I don't think that's what he means here. This has been a fun thread.

Cook your sausages on high heat with out pronging them with a fork. Makes a spectacular banger in more ways than one. Delivers the food straight to the eating source plus the rest of the dining area. Such fun tut. Name with held. Laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludicrus Sextus Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Why not use it for practice? By this I mean trying out different techniques on canopy/turret painting or filling gaps and sanding. The late great Ted Taylor always spare wings or fuselages to practice airbrushing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
