U.S.C.G. SAR Navion NA-145 - Valom - 1:72
Bejay53 replied to Konrad's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
My son and I flew in a Navion about 20 years ago. It was a demo flight at a local airport open house. pretty cool. -
F-15E Strike Eagle | Hasegawa 1:72
Bejay53 replied to Fixer's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
If this the same kit I have in the stash (really old Hasegawa kit), you truly made a silk purse from a sows ear! -
I used CREO for many years before I retired. I am now learning FreeCAD and Fusion 360. FreeCad is closest to CREO. I don’t find Fusion very intuitive, but never used ACad products before.

The Vallejo RAF paint set (BOB, I think) has both the PRU blue and Pink.

1:72 Italeri MiG-29A Fulcrum A Serbia
Bejay53 replied to Ryan Hothersall's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
It looks good. I started this several years ago and it ended up in my “shelf of doom”. I just could not get it together to my satisfaction. maybe this will inspire me to take another crack at it. -
Curtiss SOC-3 Seagull - Hasegawa 1/72
Bejay53 replied to Rod The Fixer's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Great work! that diorama base would make a “how to” article on it’s own! -
When I acquired my kit, I also acquired several sets of decals. Most are for Canadian aircraft. Decisions, decisions,…

Mobius 2001 Space Clipper in 1/72 due early 2022
Bejay53 replied to SallysDad's topic in Science Fiction Discussion
You’re welcome. I need a new work space. I’d love to have the new clipper, the 1/350 Discovery and the new 1/48 Aires 1B moon shuttle. I do have the moon bus to build and that will be it for 2001 kits. I can hope for a 1/72 Aires 1B!? -

I believe it is a new kit. At 1/72 scale, it should be quite large compared to the existing one, about 29” overall. But it does come with cockpit and cabin details…NO Pan Am decals. It’s up for preorder now, @$160 from https://www.culttvmanshop.com/2001-Space-Clipper--large-kit-172-scale--from-Moebius-Models--15999--PREORDER-RESERVATION-_p_6868.html I’ve done the existing one (1/160th ish) but I don’t have room for the new one! Here is mine The Pan Am decals are second sourced. -
Looks great! I have not had any issues with AK extreme metal paints curing (just finishing the Roden B-36B). I have had issues with tamiya tape on the dark aluminum and AK primer. I find that I have to mask (detack the tape by applying it to the inside of my wrist a couple of times first). Then paint immediately. The only real problem I’ve had with AK is the filler/primer. That stuff never seemed to cure. I stayed tacky for weeks. I ended up wiping it off with solvent and using mr surfacer.

It’s popular, because the kit part isn’t even close to fitting. It’s so narrow…QC missed this one!

Time to dig out the dvd!
