  1. Will be going to buy some tomorrow 😊. It's a shame that Tamiya or another manufacturer haven't made their own paint/varnish remover.
  2. Thanks guys, will give it ago and let you know how it goes.
  3. Hey guys, any suggestions on removing Vallejo Model air paint after its been varnished with Vallejo model air varnish - gloss?
  4. So where to begin. I Started the kit about a year ago but certain things have occurred which has caused a delay. I'm at the final stages of painting which I'm glad about as it still has no chcharacter. This will be my second kit in the Austrian livery but this time painted with an airbrush and a lot more skill I believe. This will be my first kit built where I paint and decals parts before I glue them together which is causing some doubt in my mind that it will turn out okay. I will be post progress pictures tomorrow once I've sorted my new camera out and got a decent enough position to take them from. I will do my best but please forgive me if they come out poo poo. Feel free to criticise my work as I believe harsh words force us to do better.
  5. Thankyou so much Andrew, that was exactly what I was looking for. In the process of doing a A330 mrtt to go with my fictional AWACS 737 and Tornados for the Luftwaffe
  6. Hey guys, I'm looking for some modern Luftwaffe decals in 1:144 scale. does anyone know where I can get some from?
  7. Failed at hand painting these, will be trying those techniques on my further 11 kits to do 😐
  8. The problem with Revell is licensing. Lufthansa have a very close relationship with Revell and have asked them to create kits, for example the Fanhansa and the A380. You would of thought airlines would jump at the chance of advertising but as with everything in this capitalist worldk is theres a price and sometimes Revell won't pay it which is why we don't see many kits. If you look at discounted kits then you can see a varied livery schemes. We will see more none German schemes in the future but they are more likely to be produced. Concerning the B777, Lufthansa have 5 of the freighter version operated by Lufthansa Cargo. Now they have order 34 of the 7779-Xs which is a milestone move for Lufthansa. Now I can guarantee within the next two years max that Revell will release such a kit.
  9. Oh for sure Dave. He has a unique business in the terms of rare decals and he should take full advantage of that. I've seen a lot of people mention he has a job which takes up time but I mean if youre going to start selling them atleast devote some attention and passion too it. Customer service is number one at all times and he shows none.
  10. Thanks Dave. It's just I ordered a set of the Pikachu 747 decals. Luckily I haven't paid for them yet but he's even failed to send me an invoice so I can. I'm just going to leave it. Just a shame as it's such a great scheme.
  11. Hello guys. Has anyone bought of this website before?
  12. Hey once guys. Was just wondering what kind of masking tape everyone uses. Especially on painted surfaces.
  13. Thanks guys, I will be trying all of these later on the varying number of spare wheels I've accumulated over the years 😊
  14. Thanks guys!! I'll be trying all proposed techniques. I have in the past hand painted them, they come out okay but nothing like Ricks do.
  15. What are people's preferred method of painting wheels, mainly in 1:144?
